I am being overrun with greens from our CSA. It’s that time of year, it happens. Mark’s not so much a fan of greens as I am, so we end up with more than we can easily eat, sooner or later. What to do with a plethora of greens? Make soup! This recipe is easily […]
BASICS: Speedy “Baked” Apple
In the winter, I just don’t want to eat cold food. Coupled with the fact that I crave comfort food and I’m trying to cut down from the sugar insanity that is Christmas, it’s nice to have something semi-healthy to fall back on. Speedy “Baked” Apple (serves 1) 1 apple, cut into 8ths and cored […]
Curry Chicken Pasties
I really did honestly just throw these together out of what was in the house, so your version may not look like my version. That’s fine, it’ll be tasty, trust me. (: I would like these to have a bit more of a creamy filling, but they’re still pretty good just as they are. This […]
Super Easy Sourdough Piecrust
Pinning this up for me for later, also for you people, if there’s anyone still out there. (; Super Easy Sourdough Piecrust (I used this to make curry chicken pasties) 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 10 Tbsp. butter generous pinch salt 1 1/4 c. sourdough starter (you can use the leftovers from feeding your starter) […]
Completely Impromptu Krab Casserole
It’s been hot here. So hot. I haven’t been wanting to cook much, but dang it if I didn’t want to eat at home tonight, and I wanted warm food that wasn’t too heavy. Been eating out way too much lately. About 45 minutes after raiding the fridge for whatever was in it, I came […]
Leftovers for Breakfast Pie
I suppose technically, this is a quiche, since it involves eggs and leftover bits and pieces. But I like pie. Mmmm, pie. Since my stovetop is currently unreliable for simmering, I’ve started baking for breakfast. Or more accurately, baking ahead of breakfast and reheating. Pies are easy to reheat — plop a slice or two […]
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did
This is my current garden, such as it is. Kind of a far cry from the old house, but you make do with what you have. And I’m not allowed to get any more plants just now, or I won’t be able to get into/out of the storage closet and the hot water heater closet. […]
Rant rant rant
Apologies for being gone so long. We’ve been in the process of moving, and it’s been taking about as long as it’s been since my last post. We are currently in an apartment, waiting for our new house to be released from the banks. It will be a glorious house with a glorious yard and […]
Homemade Ritz Crackers
I bragged about making these on Facebook, so of course then I got a request for the recipe. It is really easy! I got the recipe from one of Peter Reinhart’s bread books. I am embarrassed to admit that I don’t recall which one, but all his books are good. Homemade Ritz Crackers 1 1/4 […]
Garden Update
Where has the summer gone? I lost it in a whirlwind of conventions and work, which led to me messing up my left shoulder and left hand, and deciding that I really needed to re-evaluate how I was spending my time. One of the things that I’ve decided to do is pitch the standard “work […]
