Pickled Seeds and Pork

After creating the delicious brew and secret pizazz of a few weeks ago in my “Perfectly Pickled Seeds,” I poured over how best to savor this “seedy sauce.” Fennel…allspice…mustard…vinegar…salt ~hmmm “Reminds me of a Cuban sammy,” Brian says. But of course. The seeds, the uniquely pickled seeds MUST, just MUST be served over pork. Pork…

A Little Mac and a Little “Cheese”

A little Mac, a little “cheese,” and even a little bit of chicken. Throw in some cilantro and sprinkle with some crispy pancetta… … and you’ve got yourself more than a meal! Don’t get me wrong, I love cheese. I adore it, in fact. But sometimes, a girl needs an alternative. So with a bit…

Slow Cooker Shredded Beef

I don’t feel as though I’m amazing at cooking meat. This may come as a bit of a surprise, considering the fact that I post “meaty” recipes on a regular basis. Perhaps I’m too self-critical. In any case, roasts are a particular challenge to me. This also may be due to my preference for other…

Grain Free “Almost” Sourdough

Sourdough is sourdough.  Distinct and delicious. You can’t miss it. So…. ~ while this recipe is most certainly grain-free, it may be lacking slightly in the sourdough category. I tried, though. Grain-free bread can be tricky. I’ve decided, that even labeled with an “almost,” I succeeded. This recipe is actually an adaptation of the Grain-Free…

Biscuits and Bacon

After undertaking the challenge of a grainless breakfast biscuit – incorporating the beloved fall favorite of pumpkin – I mentioned the misfortune of neglecting bacon with my morning meal. That mistake was not made a second time. Pumpkin and bacon are certainly lovely flavors to combine…remember Pumpkin Maple Bacon Granola from Cavegirl Confections?  Yum! This…

Spiced Sloppy Sams

Growing up, I loved “Sloppy Joe Night.”  My mom created some of the best sloppy samiches on the face of the earth!  Sometimes referred to as “Sloppy Toms,” when ground turkey was the protein of choice, but always drippy, tangy, sweet, and saucy…perfect for an evening at home or at the family cabin.  I think,…

Skillet Seared Radishes

Most of my radish eating experience has been in the form of raw crudités or sliced thinly for salads.  These delightfully bright bulbs provide a surprising bite with a hint of peppery zing. My only experience in cooking these out of the ordinary produce pleasures has been in the form of Roasted Watermelon Radishes.  Cooked in…

Rainbow Bright Rainbow Kale

I grew up in the era of Rainbow Brite.  Upon reference or when thinking back to my Rainbow filled memories, I see hand-drawn unicorns, cartoon kittens and puppies, and star-filled skies with big puffy clouds. I didn’t remember much of the story line or history of little Rainbow Brite, and was fascinated to learn the…
