Dragontail Radish Pod Fridge Pickles
Last summer, I got behind in the garden and let some of the radishes go to seed. I was okay with that because the bees loved those flowers and I just let them be for the bees (yes, I know that’s an awful phrasing, but I couldn’t help it). So, doing what plants inevitably do…

Stuffed Potatoes (Papas Rellenas inspired)
It’s the last recipe day of our potato themed month. And once again, I’m ignoring Irish cuisine despite my intent. I’ve taken inspiration from a Puerto Rican version of Papas Rellenas, but modified it to be safe for me, and cheated a bit by using salsa and taco seasoning for the ground beef mixture. But…

Garlic and Onion Pakoras
Garlic and Onion Pakoras MaryKate and I were on the same wave length about our first recipe, in that garlic must be fried somehow. I’ve looked at doing pakoras several times, but hadn’t gotten around to it. I mean, fried veggie fritters with Indian spices? How can that be bad? So when MaryKate sent me some…

Garlic Potato Scallion Snacks
In February, we’ve decided to play with garlic. Mmmmm, garlic. It’ll keep the vampires away, but it’s also good for colds and such.

Cashew-Ginger Hummus
This recipe came out of what I had in the house when I wanted to bring some hummus over to Denise’s for a gathering. Denise is allergic to sesame, an allergy I understand is becoming more common, but not allergic to cashews. I’m not sure how common this combo is, but if your diet allows…

Brown Rice Pulp Chips (+ rice milk)
I occasionally want to use rice milk in cooking, but I really dislike all the commercial rice milks that I’ve tried. I find them thin and flavorless. But in trying to use up some leftover rice, I discovered that by adjusting the amount of water (and using really good rice, I could make a thick,…

White Bean Pizza Hummus
Being allergic to foods that are staples of the Standard American Diet can mean that road trips are, well, a little sad. But not going on a road trip would be more sad. So thinking about road trips like setting out for the western frontier (or, in this case, Vermont, which is to the west)…

Chili Flavored Russet and Sweet Potato Chips
I’ve been meaning to fry stuff for sometime, because I miss fried food and the last time Mary Kate and I had a fry-a-palooza was this past Thanksgiving. And I wanted potato chips. I tried a recipe where you baked them, but it took two hours of prep, and seriously, I can fry them faster…
