Dill Pickle Meatloaf
I got this great 1966 cookbook at an estate sale that is just ground beef recipes. Growing up in the 1980s in the midwest, I ate a lot of different preparations of ground beef. We never had hamburger helper out of a box, not that I remember, but there were definitely a few different preparations…

Thai Style Green Curry Paste
This past summer, I ended up harvesting a lot of chilies. When I say a lot, I estimate that I harvested about 50 pounds of chilies based on what I canned, fermented, dehydrated whole, dehydrated and ground into powders, froze, and so on. I grew 20 different kinds of peppers. I grew half in the…

But back here on the mainland, the tropical fruit variety is less…

Curry Spiced Hot Sauce
Okay, I know I’m going to be sorry because this is my last “get out of jail free post” I had saved up in case I was in a bind, but I’m kind of in a bind. So here we go with another hot sauce. Plus, you can’t have too many hot sauces anyway. This…

Warm Bacon & Kale Salad
This will be a quick post. This salad is really loosely based on some paleo salad recipe that I found and Jack made a while back. We really liked it, but this time it’s edited to use up whatever we had in the house this time around. The basis for that salad was sauteing the…
