Spicy Pickled Carrots
Easy Spicy Pickled Carrots I know that I’ve mentioned my possibly unhealthy love of pickles. I’ve pickled green beans, pickled cauliflower, and even sweet and sour “classic” cucumber pickles. This is the exact same brine recipe from the Sweet and Sour Pickles, but by sticking different flavorings in the jar, I ended up with a completely different […] Read More
Shakshuka: Israeli Poached Eggs
Tomato Poached Eggs One day, I was standing in line at Sprouts, and I spotted the cover of Vegetarian Times. Now, let’s be clear: I’m not a vegetarian. My husband and child are both serious carnivores. And yet… on the cover of the June 2012 issue was a picture of eggs poached on a bed […] Read More
Homemade Cornbread Stuffing
Cornbread Stuffing From Scratch Thanksgiving is coming. It’s time to learn how to make cornbread stuffing from scratch. Two weeks ago, I gave you a recipe for how to make your own cornbread. Today, I’m going to hand you off to Jim, the Food Whisperer, for detailed instructions about how to make your own homemade […] Read More
Creamed Spinach
Ruth’s Chris Creamed Spinach Earlier this year, I went to Ruth’s Chris for the first time. And yes, it was the best steak I’ve ever eaten, but let’s face it, I’m rarely going to spend that kind of money on dinner. Now that my husband has perfected his sous vide blowtorch filet mignon, we’ve started […] Read More
Cornbread (Without a Box Mix)
Yes, there are plenty of times where I’m rushing around before dinner and only have time to whisk the requisite ingredients into a box of Trader Joe’s cornbread mix. But on this particular night, I had a full array of ingredients: buttermilk, flour, stone ground cornmeal from Muddy Dog Coffee, and frozen fire-roasted corn kernels […] Read More
Arancini di Riso (Risotto Balls)
I always make too much risotto. Always. I think that part of me figures that if I’m going to put all that effort into tending to its creation, we’re all going to eat a ton. Nope. Never happens. If you’ve ever tried to reheat risotto, it’s disappointing. Frozen risotto is downright gross, but even refrigerated […] Read More
Pozole (Posole?)
Pozole Stew I have to admit, somewhat reluctantly, that I had no clue what pozole was before stumbling across a recipe at the farmer’s market. It sounded interesting enough, so I brought it home… and promptly threw it away when cleaning the kitchen. (Oops.) This started me on a Google quest for a pozole recipe […] Read More
Mixed Grain Risotto
For Christmas, I bought the Tiny Kitchen Assistant a grow-your-own mushrooms kit because it’s fun to grow stuff. After promptly casting it aside in favor of fun stuff like Legos, I actually forgot about it. After many weeks, we finally stumbled across the package and decided to start growing. And I have to admit, it […] Read More
Smashers
Smashed Potatoes The Tiny Kitchen Assistant doesn’t eat potatoes. At least, he doesn’t think he eats potatoes. He’ll eat fries, and loves the tater tots at the local BBQ place, but baked? Mashed? Au gratin? Not a chance. So when my friend told me her recipe for smashers, I figured that there wasn’t any chance that […] Read More
Frittata Muffins
Eggs in Muffin Cups Have I mentioned that the Tiny Kitchen Assistant doesn’t eat eggs? He absolutely refuses to consume anything with visible egg (“because eggs are ingredients”). Imagine my surprise last year, while traveling, when we discovered that he’ll eat Starbucks Artisan Bacon breakfast sandwiches. Yes, he’ll happily scarf down a sandwich that’s egg, cheese […] Read More
