Sweet Potato Souffle: Thanksgiving Countdown #5
I adore sweet potatoes. I love them roasted, candied, whipped, and just plain old baked. And they are so amazingly good for you! Chuck full of vitamin A and fiber. I personally think no Thanksgiving table is complete without them. So I love to find new ways to prepare this delicious veggie. This recipe is […]
Pumpkin Steamer: Countdown to Thanksgiving #2
November 7, 2011
I don’t think this is something that would actually be served as part of Thanksgiving dinner, but it would be simply lovely as part of a light Thanksgiving day breakfast or even the night before as loved ones begin to gather. This warm, spicy concoction is so creamy and full-bodied because of the pumpkin. I […]
Our Super Favorite Pumpkin Bread
October 31, 2011
This is a great recipe—turns out great every time and makes three loaves—so it is handy when you have to take a dessert somewhere. Kids love this bread. It is really good with cream cheese. 5 cups flour ¾ tsp baking powder 3 tsp baking soda 2 ¼ tsp salt 1 ½ tsp cinnamon 1 […]
Super Simple to the table in less than 30 min Pasta!
September 27, 2011
I view pasta a bit differently after visiting Italy. The pasta itself has a better flavor, and is never gummy and overcooked. I have since become addicted to imported, air-dried pasta that I can purchase at Caputo’s, an Italian deli and market in Salt Lake City. It does cost more, but then it stretches farther […]
Caponata, Italian Eggplant Appetizer
September 26, 2011
My friend Jeff, who is a gardening superhero, brought me some lovely Japanese eggplant. I love Japanese eggplant. You can use it as-is,instead of “sweating” like regular eggplant. I had been hoping for some eggplant to drop in my lap so I could try out this delicious Sicilian appetizer we had while in Italy. You […]
Okonomiyaki, or “Osaka Pancakes”
September 25, 2011
My husband used to make these for us a while back but we forgot about them for a while. Do you ever do that? Forget completely about recipes or food you used to eat? Well, thankfully, my husband remembered these and he made these for dinner tonight. He lived in Japan for two years while […]
Yellow Squash Frittata
September 13, 2011
I don’t know about you, but I currently have an over-abundance of these puppies: Anyone else in the same boat? If so, I have the recipe for you! I was very excited to locate this recipe, but I had to tweak it a bit. Here is the final version: one medium sweet or yellow onion, […]
Sweet Onion Tart
September 9, 2011
I have been making these tarts ever since I got back from Italy, where I had several similar concoctions. This is an easy and absolutely delicious appetizer. If you are going to make these for a crowd of more than 6, I would make two. They get gobbled up fast! The base of this tart […]
Not so stuffy stuffed chicken
September 8, 2011
The idea of stuffed meat is always impressive, isn’t it? It looks so difficult. It’s got style. Luckily, it really isn’t all that difficult to do. Every once in a while I want to stuff some meat. Here is a rendition I just tried over the weekend. I thought it turned out great! You can […]
