If you ever get tired of having the same potato dishes over and over….and by that I mean the standard fries, or roasted potato, or mashed/baked, etc….then you should definitely try making knishes. It’s a little bit of extra effort, but at least it’s fun…
I actually wrote this post two weeks before Valentine’s Day and then got completely sidetracked with a Basil & Sage event that completely consumed my life for days before the holiday. Then, it took me literally days to recuperate from the multiple challenges I had…
I cannot get into the cauliflower “steaks” thing. I’ve tried and tried and I don’t know about you, but I end up with a crumbled mess. I would cook cauliflower more often if it was easier to work with, but as well as being a…
A million years ago, I worked at this restaurant that did a sort of texmex fusion. It was my first introduction to texmex and fusion. At the impressionable age of too young to care about such things, however old that was, I remember being blown…

This has to be my favorite comfort food. When I’m feeling down, off center, or just needing to feel wrapped in a warm blanket of food love, I don’t think of chicken soup. I’m an onion soup girl. There’s just something solid about the dish…
I kept my bones from a beef chuck the other day because I knew I’d have a little down time to make some stock. My secret evil plan was to make french onion soup at some point this week. I didn’t know if I was…
