Do you see that speck of yellow at the upper left corner of this photo? It’s one of my favorite pantry items… Colman’s Mustard Powder. It ends up in sauces, vinaigrettes, salads, spice blends and more. Since I like to clean out my pantry every 4-6 months, I usually end […]
In an attempt to keep the sugar content to a minimum, I might have used a wee too little sugar. This coupled with the fact that my polenta was excruciatingly fresh, the flavor of corn was stronger than I’d prefer. This strong corn flavor almost overpowered the dish. Next time, […]
To keep the dried fruit from being too sticky, I like to toss the trail mix with a small amount of sugar. Over half of the sugar falls to the bottom. So, this whole batch of trail mix needs less than 1/2 of a tablespoon of sugar. Soy […]
Juicers are fine. But, you lose all of that healthy fiber. If you enjoy some pulp in your juice, a powerful blender will do the job even better. But, you do need a blender with sharp blades and a strong motor. Carrot Apple Juice makes 2 glasses
Happy New Year! What’s a great way to doctor up out of season berries? Whip them into a salad. Sweet or savory, marinate firm, tart berries in a citrusy spirit, with a squeeze of lemon or just a sprinkle of sugar to bring out their flavor. It’s shockingly […]
These light, buttery and crumbly cookies are loaded with pistachio flavor. I’m a little surprised that the green color is so faint given the vividly bright green pistachios that I used. But, I still prefer this natural color to that of food coloring. Pistachio Crumble Cookies makes 3 […]
There’s more than a little bit of molasses in this recipe. A lot more. It dominates the taste with ease. And, that large dose of molasses adds a density to this gingerbread that gives it an Old English feeling. I’m on the fence. I think I like it.

I love these cookies. All of that great pumpkin & spice flavor is dished up in bite-sized packages. If you have a powerful food processor, you can incorporate the entire pumpkin (flesh & skin) into this recipe. Simply puree the roasted pumpkin until very smooth. Pumpkin […]
I confess. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie. If I’m in the mood for an orange pie, I’ll pick sweet potato every time. When I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner, pumpkin pie rarely makes the cut. I love pumpkin in and with pasta, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake… you […]
This is, without a doubt, the best sweet nibble to accompany your espresso. Anise Biscotti 2 1/4 cups AP flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp fine sea salt 1 1/4 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 Tablespoon anise seed, freshly […] |
