Guava paste is the secret ingredient behind many of the best Cuban desserts. Sure, guava jelly is an acceptable substitute. But, it’s just not the same thing. Guava paste has a depth, density and complexity that guava jelly never will. For baked goods, that density is the key. Extra moisture […]
If there’s real Cuban bread to be found in Atlanta, we’ve yet to find it. So, what’s the best substitute? We believe it’s the gorgeously fluffy Vietnamese bánh mì. They’re much easier to find. And, they’re available at the incredibly great price of three (or, sometimes even 5) for a […]
A handful of walnuts and a generous sprinkle of bleu cheese turn this simple salad into a real meal. For an even heartier meal, add a slice of grilled bread. Would you like a heartier option? Try a grilled cheese with brie. Roasted Walnut Salad baby […]
The Grilled Cheese Sandwich So easy and so good, the simplest recipes require quality ingredients and a little bit of care. That’s all there is to it. The combination of good bread and very good cheese make this super simple sandwich something truly special. We do […] This recipe was clearly inspired by the America’s Test Kitchen 6 Banana Bread recipe. But, the idea of nuking the bananas for 5 minutes turns me off completely. So, I played and puttered around a bit with the recipe. And, I came up with a version that I prefer.

There may be instances of desperation here and there. But, there are really only two cookies that I crave on a regular basis that are not homemade. Oreos and Biscoff… Wait, lets be completely honest. Nutter butters would make it a two way tie for second place with Biscoff. And, […]
Traditionally, this is a simple salad of crab, a little chopped onion, cider vinegar and a splash of oil. But, wouldn’t a touch of sugar cane vinegar and coconut milk give this dish some real island flavor? I think so. The touch of natural sweetness from the coconut milk plays […]
Another Year, Another Cold I nipped this one at the first tickle in my throat with oregano oil. It’s not a miracle cure. But, either I’m in better shape this year or it successfully cut the length of this cold in half. As usual, I munched on buttered […]
Sautéed kale finds its way to our table much (MUCH) more frequently than spinach. Those big bags of prepped kale are so temptingly easy. Sometimes I’ll chop it up a bit more into a fine, but rustic dice. Other times I’ll leave it in the big sloppy pieces that are […]
Feeling incredibly decadent, we were prepared for the day-after this year. We made a quick stop at Alon’s bakery on our way home from a day of holiday shopping. And, this post-shopping bakery stop is bound to be a new tradition. The resulting turkey sandwiches were incredibly rich and delicious. […] |
