One of these days I’m going to get some time off! In the meantime I’m continuing to share my posts over at Pig of the Month. Kicking this week off I’ve made a version of Toad in the Hole with a Pig of the Month Duck, Pear and Port sausage and served it up with […]
I am so happy to share that I am writing, doing recipe development and photos for Pig of the Month again. They’ve launched a new blog format Sauce+Style, it’ll be full of recipes, great links, drink ideas and entertaining tips. I’ve kicked off the new blog with these Sweet Chile and Orange Ribs. They […]
This never happens, ever. I got my Secret Recipe Club assignment this month and within 30 seconds I had a recipe picked out. Just.like.that. I was assigned Kate’s Kitchen, as I scrolled down her page I saw this egg yolk nested in spaghetti and the word guanciale jumped out at me. Done. That’s it. That’s […]
I’ve had some cooking nemesis in my day, you know the dishes that you just can’t seem to get right? For many years I struggles with making a good flour based gravy, it is simple to make but I just was trying too hard and would come out with lumpy flour-y gravy. Yet I could […]
Why did I ever buy canned enchilada sauce? And how come no one ever told me that making your own enchilada sauce was so easy? Doesn’t anyone love me? Don’t you think I had a right to know? Thank goodness for Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned cook with Sara, a Midwestern girl […]
Did Christmas really come and go that fast? Is the New Year so close to being around the corner? Of course it’s no surprise when Christmas rolls around and when the New Year begins and yet every year I feel like it sneaks up on me. I think it has to do with the end […]
Do you buy pre-made spice mixes or do you like creating your own? I used to be a big fan of spice mixes, Johnny’s seasoning salt, Lemon-Pepper, pumpkin pie spice, Italian seasoning, etc. The broader my culinary skills grew the bigger my spice cabinet got and before I knew it I had every spice and […]
Flower Sprout (Brassica oleracea), have you heard of it? I hadn’t heard of it until last month when a friend asked if I wanted some kale, she had pulled the last from her garden and had plenty to spare. Since my discovery/addiction of kale salt I was more than happy to take some off her […]
This past week was spent at the cabin; hunting season (rifle) has started here in Montana. I’m no huntress; I’d rather be Martha Stewart of the Mountains than go out and sit in the cold or tramp through the woods. But McGyver loves hunting, he loves to take his wife hunting, he loves to buy […]
/As most of you know, certainly those who stop by regularly know, I don’t do a lot of giveaways. In fact I’ve only done a few, I also don’t do many product reviews. I’m mostly about the recipes and ramblings, but every now and then there is something that you just love that, well, you […]
