Returning food to the sacred
It’s a matter of record now that on of my most favorite culinary combinations in the entire world of food is the Caprese salad. As a salad, a sandwich and now as stick food, I can’t ever grow tired of this dish and have been known to spend whole Summer eating this 80% of the […]
Stick food. I’m telling you, it’s my latest obsession. This was on of the dishes served at our Housewarming party a week ago. Satay is originally a Java, Indonesian dish made up of any seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce. In truth I’ve come to associate it with Thai cooking, but a […]
Jon and I had our Housewarming party last weekend and I served nothing but stick food and cocktails. Don’t ask me why, but the idea stuck and off I went to make food we could all eat on a stick. This is the little cocktail I served and it was delicious but deceptive and after […]
I love me my blended Chai lattes. It’s all I get when I go out to any coffee shop, but living out beyond a 30 minute drive to any, I just don’t have them as often as I might like. This of course, isn’t a bad thing. At about $5+ a pop, I have to […]
Simple. Fresh. Pretty. Oh and juicy. This salad is my current go to for the season. All the light crunchiness of the Jicama blends well with the smooth avocado and the lime juice gives it a lovely Mexican touch that goes well on it’s own, or with fish tacos. Also? Making it, makes you feel […]
Boy did these babies take some serious work! I cannot tell you how many muffins I made until I got this recipe right. I’ve pretty much been banned from making any more in this house for the next year! However, I will say it was worth it. They are moist, deliciously tastey, and are perfect […]
The journey with squash continues over here in our little jungle house in Maui. After the soups and the muffins and the steamed pumpkin, I began looking through my Pinterest food board to get some new ideas. I found this and I’m telling you, it’s my latest FAVORITE thing. I’ve made it twice now. It’s […]
I’ve been in a soup mood, can you tell? Trying to savor each last second of cooler to cold weather here on the North shore, I’m longing for the nurturing textures of a bisque and crusty gluten free bread whenever possible. This one was inspired by the huge leeks I’m getting in our CSA box […]
I don’t remember ever having so many types of squash in my kitchen before. This Fall and Winter season, I’ve lost count at how many butternut, acorn and sugar pumpkins we’ve gotten from our CSA, and it’s been challenging coming up with ways to eat them all. Muffins, stuffed squash, quinoa salad dishes, pumpkin mash, […]
