Thanksgiving Recap 2013
An account of our gluten-free and nearly grain-free Thanksgiving dinner in 2013.
Beef Jerky
Homemade jerky from grassfed beef makes a great protein and iron rich snack that my son and I love.
Back to Basics
The January 2012 Daring Bakers challenge was to make basic baking powder biscuits, or scones (depending on your location). I made maple-pecan and Swiss chard versions to accompany butternut squash soup!
Cajun Casserole
Cajun-spiced turkey breast with honey-grilled corn on the cob and a zucchini-rice casserole so filling it could be a meal all on its own!
Smoke Signals
Whole smoked trout, wrapped in bacon: delicious filleted with green beans, divine fried into croquettes!
Maple Mousse in Edible Cups
The April 2011 Daring Bakers challenge was maple mousse served up in edible cups. I made almond-banana cups edged with chocolate, and made maple-bacon s'mores just for fun!
Pierogish
One of my favorite dumplings of all time, the humble pierogi. Make enough to freeze some for unexpected cravings!
The Potato Eaters
Homemade pizza topped with sauted mushrooms and onion, bacon, and thinly sliced red potato.
Into the Mist
Several applications for pork braised in apple cider and molasses until meltingly tender: Simply served over crisp squash risotto cakes aside cider-glazed Brussels sprouts, or stuffed into a sandwich with sauerkraut coleslaw along twice-baked sweet…
Doing Without
Creamy wild rice and mushroom soup is paired up with a very unusual scone recipe calling for ricotta cheese in place of butter.
Purple Hull Peas
My introduction to purple hull peas, braised with bacon and onions for a Southern-style side, and steeped into purple-tinged jelly.
Mess o’ Greens
Don't toss those greens! An introduction to the care and feeding of turnip greens, as well as a basic recipe for braising them with onion and bacon grease.
Filling in the Gaps
This is a summary post overviewing the meals and baked goods I made over the holidays, concluding with the highlight of my father making ebelskivers.
Home Delivery
An initial take on homemade pizza with a simple yeasted crust and a variety of toppings.
Fava Pasta for Sher
Fettuccine with a velvety fava bean sauce, garnished with salty feta and crisp bacon, in honor of fellow foodblogger Sher of What Did You Eat?
Bacon and Egg Salad
French and American variations on sturdy green salads with bacon and eggs, each with a very different flavor profile.
Strange Bedfellows
A recipe for roasted salmon with lentils and bacon sounded like it would be just the ticket for a cool evening, but the combination didn't work well for us.
Girasole Soup
A smooth, basic sunchoke bisque is enlivened with a counterpoint of crisp, smoky bacon and bitter radicchio.
Mr. Crocodile, Do You Like Codfish?
Baked cod with breadcrumbs will work in a pinch, but by all means, save enough fish to make up a pot of this phenomenal saffron-scented cod chowder too.
