Spinach, Polenta, and Bacon
Sometimes I struggle with what is blog-worthy food and what isn’t. As anyone with food sensitivities knows, we cook a lot. Most of my dinners aren’t really recipes, as most weeknights, I make recipes up based on “what’s in the house” and “what can I make before I starve?” This is really one of…

Herbed Leg of Lamb
When Mary Kate and I sit down to plan posts ahead, we look at the calendar and try to pick things to develop that go with upcoming holidays. When we were looking at St. Patrick’s Day, we were sort of stumped, because we’ve already got a corned beef recipe, and we really weren’t that familiar…

Spring Garlic Sauce with Roasted Potatoes
When we were working on our editorial calendar, Denise said she was working on ham steaks, which you saw last week. We thought that ham seemed like a traditional Easter dish, so maybe we should also consider a side dish for it. I LOVE side dishes. The first thing that came to mind was scalloped…

Cure Your Own Ham Steaks
So, like bacon, commercial ham is a problem if you are avoiding corn and all corn derivatives. I’ve tried on multiple occasions to cure a 4-5 pound pork shoulder or a boneless Boston butt (pork butt roast), but the cure only goes in about an inch from the surface and then it’s like a version…

This is the post for the chocolate lovers. I know. Today, you’re buying Valentine’s Day chocolate on sale, but here’s a classy way to do chocolate. PIE. Chocolate pie. Make this pie for a video games party (if that’s a thing you might do), for a Primary watching party, for Thanksgiving, for Pi Day (coming…

Valentine’s Day Gingerbread Frosted Cookies
Mary Kate and I try occasionally to think up recipes with holiday themes. Valentine’s Day is a somewhat of struggle for me, as I’m generally a bit cynical of the whole thing and not a very sentimental person. But I’ve been craving cookies for a while, and I’d gotten myself some cookie cutters (these…

Bacon-Wrapped Potato Bites
I’d write something eloquent about this, but doesn’t the recipe title tell you everything? My friend Corinne of spare cake made these for me a few years ago, and my guess is that she didn’t make the recipe up. It’s not even much of a recipe — just an amazing technique that you need…

Chicken Fried Steak with White Pepper Gravy
My mother made cube steak sometimes when we were kids, but wasn’t one for sauces, so I wasn’t introduced to white pepper gravy until I began ordering it at diners. I liked nothing better than going to a greasy spoon diner after a night out with friends if we’d been imbibing, or as a recovery…
