Homemade Eggnog
After making homemade eggnog, you’ll never go back to store-bought. That sickeningly sweet, corn syrupy, gloppy yellow stuff they call eggnog can’t hold a candle to this stuff. Even professed eggnog haters (like I was, formerly), will love it. We make it in big batches so we have enough to share when friends stop […]
Potato Doughnuts
{If you’re looking for the recipe for homemade eggnog, it can be found here. I had to separate the recipes. Sorry for any inconvenience!) I have to tell you a secret. Come closer. I don’t want those boys who made fun of me for being chubby to hear this. I don’t like doughnuts. See? […]
Holiday Q+A: Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas
Scene: It’s 6:00 am Christmas morning. The kids didn’t fall asleep until midnight. You were up late fighting about discussing the assembly of the new toy kitchen with your spouse. Then you still had to put out the presents and fill the stockings. You’ve only slept for what seems minutes instead of hours. The kids have […]
Sometimes I Bake Wedding Cakes.
In January, I made a wedding cake for these two lovely people. Meet Samantha and Chas Kelly. Even if I wasn’t related to them (by marriage) I would love and claim them as my own. (Sam is an amazing artist, by the way. She has an Etsy shop called Can You Hear Me? You should […]
Corn+Leek Chowder
Baby, it’s freezing cold outside. Here in Utah we’ve had more snow already this year than I remember having all of last year. Okay, I’m exaggerating just a bit. I am longing for the sun. That is no exaggeration. I go through these phases when I love certain veggies or fruits. I use them in […]
Communal + Breakfast
One of the best perks of being a blogger is going to blogger events with friends at great restaurants. Such was the case when I was invited to have breakfast at Communal this past Saturday morning. When I first heard Communal would be serving breakfast, I was overjoyed. I’ve patiently waited and waited. As my […]
How-To: Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage, Walnuts and Brown Butter
(Forgive my undying love for Gourmet magazine. I’m still sad that it won’t be around after next month. My tributes will continue over the next few weeks, I’m sure.) The first page I opened to in the October 2009 issue of Gourmet showed lovely orange gnocchi with a sprinkling of cheese and dotted with sage […]
Mixed Greens with Pluots, Slivered Almonds and Bacon
I bought the most delicious Dapple Dandy Pluots this week at the store. I can honestly say that I don’t think I have ever had one before. I must go back and get more. They are delightful. The flavor is mostly like a plum, but the texture is firmer. Well, you’ll just have to try […]
Teriyaki Tofu with Peanut Noodles
I’m trying to do more meatless/vegetarian meals. It took a very long time for me to get up the courage to eat tofu. It looks strange. It has a distinct texture…right? And it is practically flavorless. Aha! That’s why it’s awesome. You can make it taste like anything you want it to. And if you […]
Food Storage: Our Meal Ideas (So Far)
Like I said, Liesa’s book is inspired. She got me to realize that I can mesh what we actually eat with food storage. I just need to keep up the work and planning I’ve been doing to adapt recipes, etc. Some meals will come completely from food storage, others will have fresh ingredients in addition […]
