So, we still are getting some cold weather. (I snowed a bit the last couple days in North Carolina–silly groundhog and his silly shadow. I wonder why we get our meteorological advice from a rodent in this day and age.) My potage ran out as did my simpler butternut squash soup. I needed more soup [...]

Deep dish pizza is kinda an anomaly in the pizza world. It doesn’t follow the same rules as its brethren. The similarities to pizza begin and end with the ingredients, but then again that’s not saying a whole lot, many Hot Pockets share the same ingredients too. But this is no Hot Pocket. This is [...]

I recently revisited my butternut squash soup with a much simpler take on it. I was pleased the original, but it did have a lot of ingredients and was a little involved to make.

This chili is a fantastic, healthy interpretation of the classic meat stew. Chili, like barbecue, can stir up some fights about methodology and contents, and I’m sure I broke a few rules here. This isn’t meant to be authentic. It’s more of an homage than anything else (call it a derivative work if you don’t [...] That was my Thanksgiving dinner. Not very traditional is it? Do you ever feel like you should do something productive with your leftover turkey parts? I have always liked to get as much usage out of a piece of meat as I can, so I was very excited about this recipe when I came across it. The recipe starts with turkey stock, which is an [...] |
