  • Thai Style Green Curry Paste

    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…

  • Morning Glory Overnight Oats

    Morning Glory Overnight Oats

    At the end of last year, I took a very cold trip out to the SeaTac airport area for a writing seminar with Anne Heffron. She walked us through a lot of exercises designed to help us figure out why we would take a very cold trip out to an airport hotel on a Friday…

  • Coffee Snobbery, a weekend coffee odyssey.

    Coffee Snobbery, a weekend coffee odyssey.

    Coffee. Coffee. Blog post. Coffee. Tea drinkers, go here. This post isn’t about the history or origins of coffee, but about making one great cup each weekend when mornings suck a lot less. Denise will laugh at the entire idea of ONE cup of coffee, but we do both love it in different quantities. Coffee…

  • Chai Spiced Granola Bars

    Chai Spiced Granola Bars

    I miss the convenience of buying a Nature Valley Granola bar, and calling it good for breakfast. Since they’re not safe for me, and since I needed to trial some cane syrup I bought, I went poking around the Interwebs and found this recipe that I modified. Sadly, the cane syrup was a big fail…

  • Mango Slaw

    Mango Slaw

    I just spent a week in Hawai’i, the Big Island, and came home to cold and dreary weather. We hit avocado season there, which was amazing, but also found lots of fresh papaya, some passion fruit, and some interesting varieties of dragon fruit. But back here on the mainland, the tropical fruit variety is less…

  • Curry Spiced Hot Sauce

    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…

  • Cilantro Lime Green Cayenne Hot Sauce

    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)

    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…
