Pink Grapefruit Sarit Gat Hot Sauce
Pink Grapefruit Sarit Gat Hot Sauce It’s cold here. We had that ridiculous storm, there’s a ton of snow (literally and figuratively) outside. So hot sauce might make it all better, so I’m sharing one of the hot sauces I made from the peppers MaryKate sent me from Seattle in the fall. She sent me…

Instant Pot Black Beans and Rice
Since this week’s theme is quick work-night dinners, I thought it might be time to introduce my use of the Instant Pot since I’ve had it for about a year and half now. I know that I’m a kitchen gadget junkie, but I love this thing and I’m considering getting a second one as they…

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.

Pear Shrub
For try something new month, I was intrigued by the number of shrubs and bitters and other odd old revival drinks out there. I’m not a big soda fan anymore, but sometimes I do want something more interesting than water. Shrub sounded like a good way to dive in and also finally get into Infusing…

Kinpira Gobo
So given that we’re trying new cooking techniques this month, one of the ones that jumped out at me was kinpira, a Japanese technique involving a quick stir-fry followed by a braise, most commonly used on root vegetables. Now, I’ve likely done something like this at some point, but not on purpose as a technique.…
