Cooking with seasonal products and the contents of your pantry
It seems like most of the recipes that I post that utilize red peppers are sauces or dips, such as roasted red pepper sauce (which is basically the vegan version of this one) and muhammara. There is just something about the natural sweetness of roasted…
I haven’t made chicken wings in a few years, but I couldn’t tell you why. But one lazy afternoon I was looking for something easy to make for dinner and somehow we decided on chicken wings. And then I made them twice in one week.…
Did you know that fruit and herbs pair very nicely together? In this case, nectarines pair with thyme for this satisfying breakfast (or snack). And this has been my breakfast almost every day this week. I had surgery on my foot so I’ve needed to…
