Pan Pizza
“Was It Supposed to Look Like Pizza Hut?” Well, no. The answer was most definitely no, but the appearance definitely gave me flashbacks to college. I suppose that when you combine cast iron, dough, sauce and cheese, there are a finite number of ways that things can look. I really like this pizza. It was […] Read More
Don’t Try This At Home, Part 3
Cauliflower Pizza Crust It started with the Paleo-dieters, the ones who eat nothing but bacon and eggs for breakfast — but no carbs! Never carbs! — but then ordinary everyday people in my social media feeds were posting various recipes for how to turn a head of cauliflower into a low-carb pizza crust. And I […] Read More
Oat Flour Yogurt Pancakes
Wheat-Free Oat Pancakes I should start by saying that we have no dietary issues with wheat. None of us are gluten free or have celiac symptoms. Nonetheless, it’s obvious that your standard batch of bleached all-purpose flour isn’t the most nutritionally dense food out there. That prompted me to do some research into flour alternatives […] Read More
A New Vehicle for Enchilada Sauce
Quinoa Enchilada Bake I love enchilada sauce. Possibly much more than normal people. So when my friend sent me this recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod, naturally I had to try it. In order to make it kid-friendly, I eliminated the jalapeños and added the spice at serving with an array of hot sauces. […] Read More
Don’t Try This at Home, Part 2
Egg and Biscuit Cups Remember last week when I talked about those trends where everyone seems to post the same recipes on Facebook and Pinterest at the same time? This is another one: the egg cups made with refrigerated biscuit dough, like this one, this one and this one. And while I’m not a big […] Read More
Don’t Try This At Home
Fruit Pie Enchiladas Have you noticed that there are these weird Pinterest/Facebook trends where everyone seems to fixate on the same recipe in the same week? And then suddenly you see the same recipe — usually something that makes you wonder who eats this stuff — in 14 different places at once? Two weeks ago, […] Read More
What to Do With Your Zucchini Harvest
Kid-Friendly Zucchini Fritters I’m kind of surprised that I’ve never posted this one before, considering that I’ve made it half a dozen times. I came up with this recipe a few years ago when the school sent home a massive zucchini from the garden. What does someone do with a 3-foot zucchini? Fritters. Fritters are […] Read More
Bake Some Cookies
The Science Behind the Perfect Cookie I’ve long been meaning to create something like this, but behold! Others have already done it, and in a far more lovely format than I could achieve. Check out that explanation and then come on back. So how do you bake the best chocolate chip cookie ever? That depends […] Read More
Coconut Waffles
Waffles + Coconut = Delicious It wasn’t until after we returned from Hong Kong that I learned that they make their street waffles with coconut milk. I’m seriously willing to hop on a 15-hour flight to go back and try that, but instead I just attempted my own. This is a minor modification of the […] Read More
Bringing Hong Kong Home
Homemade Potstickers While in Hong Kong, we ate close to our body weight in potstickers. Every night, we’d go to the Dragon Centre and eat our fill. By the time we got home, The Assistant was starting to go through withdrawals. I first tried making them with store-bought wonton wrappers, and you know what? They’re […] Read More
