Sweet Potato Burrata Sauté
I had every intention of using fresh burrata cheese for this meal, and truly believe it may be the best choice for a somewhat subtle tang. However, in an attempt to limit myself to just one outing and one grocery store, rather than travel across town to two or three, accommodating all my wants and…

Coast Cricket Protein & Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
I first became familiar with the cricket protein scene several years ago, while road-tripping back from PDX to Colorado. I had a cricket bar. It was good – it wasn’t great. I never really thought about it again. -Until recently – other than my mystic musing and creative crafting of food formulas and active alliterations…

Lemon Vanilla Fig Cheesecake Bars
I will forewarn you, the first part of my little romance below has nothing to do with Lemon Vanilla Fig Cheesecake Bars. Not a thing. You were warned. I typically make all my recipes from scratch. Of course, there is the occasion, here and there, when I’ll “cheat” for the sake of time, convenience, or…

Melinda’s Hot Sauce
I like hot sauce, but hot sauce with flavor. Thinking back to the “hot stuff” situation from a few months ago, I am SO happy to have a supply of Melinda’s Hot Sauce on hand: “a heat and flavor profile for every palate.” Damn right. We like flavor. We like food. We like Melinda’s. Stay…

Green Chile Pork Manchego Gallette
Galette is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform crusty cakes, or, in the case of a Breton galette, a pancake made with buckwheat flour usually with a savory filling. So, a savory pie. Using the almost out of season Hatch green chiles we have in these…

Apricot Almond Artisanal Bread
After delivering some perfected Ancient Sourdough to the neighbors across the hall, and having received kudos in return, I felt as though I needed to step up my game and deliver once again. Rather than strictly sourdough, I surprised them, along with two other friends, with little loaves of Apricot Almond Artisanal Bread. Apricot Almond…

Pressed Petal Lemon Sugar Cookies
While most of us are hunkering down and preparing for a season of Pumpkin Spiced Lattes this time of year, most of my sensibility is longing for the warmth and sunshine of summer days. I love the light, the bright, the warmth, and all the colors the summer season has to offer. And, all summer…

Apple Onion Kale Smoked Gouda & Pork
I’ve had this idea in the queue for quite sometime…in fact, I think it’s been at least a year that the words Apple Onion Kale Smoked Gouda & Pork burgers have stared back at me from the notes in my phone on a daily basis. I keep a copious list of recipe ideas both on…

Sweet Potato Cashew Chowder
I must be channeling the East Coast, because everything about me has been craving a course of chowder lately. Chowder in a slightly different way than you may believe. Rather than the uber heavy and creamy seafood chowder we all associate with New England this time of year (and any time of year, for that…

Cherry Cranberry Walnut Pesto & Spaghettini
There’s just something about pesto… Not only is it the “besto,” but I also find it crave-worthy and comforting in every season. It’s light and fresh in the spring and summer, it’s warming in the fall, and it’s cozy in the winter. And, pesto in and of itself is so incredibly diverse! For shame I…
