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
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
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
Quick Cornbread
Quick and Easy Homemade Cornbread It was finally, finally a rainy night in California, and I wanted chili and cornbread. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until the last possible moment that I didn’t have any buttermilk to make my usual cornbread recipe. I scoured the internet and quickly discovered that there aren’t exactly a ton of […] Read More
Whipped Coconut Cream
Non-Dairy Whipped Cream I try not to make a big deal about the fact that I’m lactose intolerant. Seriously, nobody wants to hear about your food sensitivities, especially it’s something that can be mitigated with a chewable tablet. But there are times when dairy is layered upon dairy and a Lactaid pill just isn’t enough. […] Read More
Creamy Papaya Seed Dressing
Papaya Seed Dressing and Marinade When you go to Hawaii in the winter, they practically give the papayas away. No, really. At 7/$2.00, or about $0.28 each, they’re far and away the cheapest thing on the island. We ate them morning, noon and night. After a while, I got the idea of making papaya dressing. […] Read More
Challah French Toast with Cherry Sauce
Making the Best French Toast Even Better I was going to just post the recipe for the cherry sauce, figuring that French toast recipes are universal and everyone does the same thing. A quick scan of The Internets comes to one screaming conclusion: I’ve been doing my French toast wrong all along. Evidently the rest […] Read More
Spaetzle
“German Mac and Cheese” It seems appropriate to post this on St. Nicholas Day, the day that the Tiny Kitchen Assistant asks me if St. Nicholas will make the journey from Germany to deliver oranges, nuts and chocolate to him for being a good boy. The Assistant forgets nothing, and he’s been asking about it […] Read More
Roast Your Own Pumpkin
Tons of Pumpkin Puree Let’s say, hypothetically, that you got it into your head that you wanted to roast a pumpkin. And again, hypothetically, you figured that if you were going to go through the hassle of roasting said pumpkin that you would purchase the largest gourd that would fit into your bike pannier, a […] Read More
Nutella French Toast
Nutella and Fruit French Toast In the continuing saga of my deficiencies as a blogger, my child has once again demanded that I take dictation for the sake of spelling accuracy, as he tells how to make his favorite French toast. All commentary is his unless noted in [brackets]. “First, you take the soft bread […] Read More
