Maybe you should come over for dinner. You could see Elliot and Jake and maybe even the neighbor dog that wears a bandana and occasionally a lime green sweater. I’d probably make this for you because it’s pizza, it’s dreamy, and it’s pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor is subtle in an earthy way. It’s perfect for fall, but I’m not going to be limited by seasons with this dough; I love it too much, and I…
Putting a sandwich on these guys is like having a sandwich on a corn muffin. Honestly, I can’t imagine anything better. I’m excited to make these the next time Jake makes pulled pork … ribs or briskit. Basically, these would accompany BBQ-ed goodness in a dreamy way. But for now peanut butter and strawberry jam will do. Oh yeah! It’s September! So I guess instead of BBQ-ing we should be thinking about beef stew and…
I get pretty proud of myself when I make a good dinner just for me. Normally I end up eating snacks or weirdo foods instead of a real meal when I’m cooking for one. Thank you Dana, for making me crazy about turkey burgers … ever since the tasty ones you made us post paddle boating. Turkey Burgers Recipe from my homegurl Dana Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey + some minced onion + some fresh…
Last night I made these tarts. Today I went paddle-boating in a skirt. It’s been a good weekend so far. Have you seen baby heirloom tomatoes at Trader Joe’s? They are just so pretty, and the green ones are neon. They would be the most popular tomatoes dancing under a black light at a club. If I stumble across a recipe that has tomatoes, basil and goat cheese involved, chances are I’ll e-mail it to…
I’ve been snacking on pie this week … pie and chocolate marshmallows. There were definitely the occasional yogurt covered raisin too. And now it’s come to a point where I just feel like I need to get a healthy snack in my life. So I decided hang out with some chick peas and get my crunch on in a health-conscious way. These crunch like a snack should and kinda smell like christmas. Basically, I wish I…
Sesame seeds are just the bread sprinkles. Semolina is the flour power. Lunetta is the swirly “S” shape. This dough was the prettiest bread dough I’ve ever met! Chances are, if you saw this dough on the street, you would roll down the window and be all daaaaaang gurl at it. I totally would. Oh, and the end result is tasty, just like my friend Alex promised! You see, when I wasn’t sure what kind of…
Jake’s a really good cook. Did you guys know that? He even makes dinner three out of the four nights that he’s not working. It’s pretty nice of him. That up there is what he made Tuesday. It’s an Oklahoma chopped pork sandwich topped with a vinegar based coleslaw. I made the Denver Biscuits, but the rest of it was all Jake. That meat was pretty much a full day of work too. It smokes…
I got pretty frustrated the other day. It happened when my kitchen lights decided to stop working. Next thing you know I was feeling annoyed, overheated and my forehead was crinkled. Two lamps plugged in later, I was back to normal and hung out with some rosemary and got my focaccia on. I took the top photo inside, but the second one outside. Those make-do lamps were making everything look really weird. Kinda like that…
One cool thing about this bread is that when sliced it looks like a cloud. Another cool thing about this bread is that it’s freckled. The obviously cool thing is that it’s braided. Twice! Double decker braiding action happens. You might think it’s so pretty that you’ll take a picture of it to your hair stylist to duplicate. I wouldn’t blame you a bit. So, see how you braid it? Start in the middle and…
These are speedy because they took about 30 minutes start to finish; they are rustic because I’m incapable of rolling dough into a perfect circle and I’m much better at rustic shapes that resemble VW beetles. Some of the other tortillas were shaped like monsters, clouds and spongebob squarepants. Jake cooked up some panko crusted chicken and made a delicious salad for inside these guys. The salad was: cucumbers, grape tomatoes, dill, oregano, goat cheese…
