    Lazy Morning Breakfast

    By ,

    Hands down, my Aunt Rosemary made the best pancakes. When we were lucky enough to eat breakfast at her house it was memorable.

    By ,

    Garlic has been integrated into cuisine from around the world for millennia. It is a basic staple for flavor and depth in just about everything you are cooking. Raw garlic is spicy and will add a funk to your breath; however, when garlic is cooked the flavor is sweetened and softened. In my opinion it […]

    Off the Grill: Blackened Salmon Salad

    By ,

      I have a faint memory of when my mother became a vegetarian. I was six, and she had just read the bestseller, Fast Food Nation, which put her off poultry and beef forever. Now, 14 years later, vegetarianism (or more specifically, in her case, pescetarianism) is much more common, and the “fast food nation” […]

  • Garlic Scape Pesto

    By ,

    Garlic scapes are a once-a-year late spring treat. Scapes are the flower/seed heads that grow out of hardneck garlic varieties, and harvesting them allows the plant to push its energy back to the underground garlic bulb rather than the flower head. They are whimsical and bold in flavor! Sometimes in mid-winter I get garlic scapes […]
