Chowder Crackers
I don’t think I have eaten clam chowder since moving back to Colorado, since there aren’t that many good restaurant venues to order it from; we haven’t purchased canned chowder since we were in college and used it as…
Food Fight
Challenging one of my strongest food prejudices with a rich, creamy chicken liver curry.
Orange Miso Cod and Broccoli Fritters

Adorable little potato pancakes not only use up leftovers, but sneak healthy butternut squash into your persnickety eater's diet! An incredibly versatile recipe.
