Lemon-Lime Ice

Another heat busting recipe, this recipe took a little wrangling to get to an acceptable sugar/water ratio but I am finally happy one. This combines all my love and passion for lemonade, limeade, ice and spoon use. Do be careful with this as I found myself having cravings, and suffering from withdrawal at times[ READ MORE ]

3 Salsas and a Slaw

Now I have always had a fairly addictive love of Chips and Salsa, Eggs and Salsa, Spoon and Salsa and so this post is a natural outgrowth of that love. I will cover how to make 3 salsas; Pico De Gallo, Avocado-Tomatillo and Spicy Red, additionally I will include a cabbage slaw which makes a [ READ MORE ]

Frozen Strawberry Parfait

Looking for a way to combat the heat? This easy to make dessert/breakfast/lunch/treat is just the perfect thing. It combines your love of fresh fruit with your love of staying cool. Let me say that you should not feel limited to using strawberries as I also made this recipe  with peaches with an equally positive [ READ MORE ]

Apple Pie

What a post to return with! I had been sick for a decent chunk of the last two weeks and not really motivated to eat, let alone cook and blog about it.  I asked my mother for this recipe in anticipation of entering a pie contest, but ended up not competing. Needless to say this [ READ MORE ]

Madelines

Sugar, check. Sugar, check. Sugar, check. Fat, check. OH hell yeah. The only other time I’ve come across these delicious cookies, was oddly in the first Transporter movie in which the French cop reminisces about his youth and daily madelines. These were easy to make but the bottoms got crispy fairly quickly, but the crunch [ READ MORE ]

Sourdough (white)

Well I put the Mother I discussed in yesterday’s post to work today. I was able to create 2 loaves, each approaching 1 lb. Baking is fairly easy and pays big dividends, the majority of effort is spent waiting, considering this was the culmination of about two weeks of dreams and one week of anticipating [ READ MORE ]

I know that I have been baking for all of 2 weeks or so but I am immediately drawn to doing things as archaically as possible. For a few reason but mostly because I think there is intrinsic value in doing things yourself rather than buying things. So when I came across a recipe for [ READ MORE ]

Mashed Potatoes w/ bastardized sofrito

Generally I have a mashed potato problem. I enjoy them immensely but am pretty sure it is the only thing I am never patient enough with. I decided tonight to do them right and since I was also cooking pork shoulder I would have plenty of time. I always prefer to stay away from the [ READ MORE ]

Jalapeno Hummus w/Flatbread

I’ve been looking forward to making some homemade hummus again, ever since my last food processor broke(I somehow melted the blade and the spindle together….) and yesterday my new one arrived. I already had prepared garbanzo beans from last weeks Chana Dal, and even after making this hummus I still have plenty of leftover beans. [ READ MORE ]

Guacamole

Well there are many takes on guacamole especially in Southern Arizona, I tend towards a simple recipe. I justify this recipe because it tastes the best to me and if avocados cost so much more than the other ingredients then I want to taste them the most[ READ MORE ]
