Cilantro Lime Green Cayenne Hot Sauce
Here’s the thing: It’s been crazed here, and I’ve been flaking a bit on blog-related recipe development. So I’m giving you another hot sauce recipe I developed in the fall. These peppers came from a mix of peppers that Mary S and I grew this summer, green cayennes (they hadn’t ripened to red before being…

2018-1-19 Fabulous Food Allergy Friday
Okay, this is not food allergy related, but since MaryKate and I are both knitters, some of our local readers are knitters, and MaryKate is interested in architecture, I give you this article: See an Entire Northern Ireland Village Knitted Out of Wool. My friend Kristin A just went to Arizona and when she returned, she…

Quick Work-night Meals: Rice Salad
December’s theme is “food for all those days between Thanksgiving and New Year’s that aren’t holidays.” Or, to be less wordy (never my strong suit): quick work-night meals. Meals that you can prepare after a long day at work or doing whatever it is you do that makes you tired. You still have to eat,…

Chocolate Pudding with Whipped Topping, both Vegan and Gluten-Free!
Well, it’s our last Element of our Element theme month post, Air! Let’s face it, my air options were fairly limited, unless I wanted to get all lawyerly and make up an argument about why some ingredient was air related. And so as not to subject you all to that, I made a chocolate pudding…
