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…

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…

Corn & Black Bean Casserole (vegan & gluten-free)
So this post needs to be quick, as I’ve spent the past two weeks moving and I’m exhausted. But this dinner was also quick — and hot and comforting. Well, the prep work is quick. It does take about an hour to bake. Keep that in mind. This is the first thing I made in…
