Chutney is a great way to add a huge layer of flavor to a dish or recipe. If you are unfamiliar, it is a condiment or side dish traditionally used with many Indian dishes. Most are made with fruit, vinegar, and spices. This combination of sweet, acidity, and spice pairs well with almost any dish! Continue reading

Roasted root vegetables are a wonderful staple of the season. Enjoy as many root vegetables as you can now, because soon spring and summer produce will be back. I added one vegetable to this mix that is not a root vegetable: Brussels sprouts! It is also a seasonal veggie, that grows best in colder temperatures, and I couldn’t make this dish without something green! Continue reading

When I first came across the idea of peanut stew, I did not like the sounds of it. Peanuts will get soggy when they’re stewed, and that texture might be weird. They are great made into butter, however. The creamy butter from the peanuts is the star in this dish, not stewed peanuts. Don’t be afraid! Continue reading

The farmer’s market here is finally over. Finally seams inappropriate because I will miss it so greatly until April rolls around. Saturday mornings in the spring are like Christmas for me. What surprises will there be? What will I not be able to go home without after its first appearance at the market? For this soup, I let the lingering fall produce make my selections. Bok choy was only $1.00! I coudn’t leave it behind, and hence this soup was born.

This recipe is my favorite. I mean it, I am so excited to share this recipe. Guacamole is something that should be easy to make. And this recipe is delicious as well. I made this recipe by testing time and time again, until I came up with the perfect combination. I stock all the ingredients, except the avocado, in my pantry so I can whip it up at any time!

It’s finally November. I have been reluctant this fall to get into the season. However, Thanksgiving is on its way and it’s time to start testing recipes! This recipe is a simple side dish that will do for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Roasted potatoes are easy and delicious. Adding rosemary adds a fresh element that works well with all your holiday dishes!

I know I said that I was going to embrace fall. Yet here I am posting about summer vegetables…still. At the farmers market this morning there were still so many yummy summer vegetables to enjoy, I couldn’t help myself! There were a few butternut squash, but I have all winter to enjoy the long lasting squash (which is another great vegetable to roast, by the way). So there you have it, summer roasted veggies with my special seasoning blend!

Last week I was all about savoring summer. I even picked up a few zucchinis at the farmers market this weekend because I don’t want to let go! I finally have realized however, that I must embrace fall because those bone chilling days of winter will come shortly after. Nothing says fall to me like chili. This chili recipe is great for this time of year when you can still get locally grown peppers.

I am so excited to share this recipe. Chilaquiles (Chee-la-key-les) is a traditional Mexican dish that is made to use up stale tortillas or tortilla chips. I dislike food waste, therefore I love recipes like this one. Recipes that lend ideas to use up ingredients that you have leftover in your fridge. This recipe is so quick, I almost didn’t get any photos while I was cooking. A great recipe for a busy weeknight!

Every time I buy a large package of corn tortillas we never seem to get them used up before they start to go stale. Food waste is unacceptable in my house, so I have been searching for a way to use up leftover tortillas after we are out of taco fixings. These chips are the perfect answer.
