Instant Pot- Your New BFF

Instant Pot- Your New BFF

November 9, 2018 by Angela Leave a Comment

I’m not sure where to even *start* with this thing. I guess I will start with “If you’re on the fence about it, stop reading and just go buy it right now”. Otherwise…read on. I purchased my instant pot in March of 2017. Since that time I’ve used it on

Artisan Bread Using the King Arthur Flour Recipe

Artisan Bread Using the King Arthur Flour Recipe

October 12, 2018 by Angela Leave a Comment

I have made many “artisan” doughs over the last several years, and while they’re all pretty good (and fun to try new ones) the one I’ve had the most consistency with is the recipe from the King Arthur Flour website. While it’s not nearly as wet as some of the

Semi-healthy Stuffed Mushrooms

Semi-healthy Stuffed Mushrooms

January 30, 2018 by Angela Leave a Comment

I was looking for a lower-fat version of a favorite appetizer, stuffed mushrooms. Mushrooms are so good for you, low in calories, high in fiber and with a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. And they grow in the dark, which almost seems like magic! Also, they’re delicious.  In this

Italian Shredded Beef Sandwiches

September 4, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

This is a fast weeknight meal that comes together very quickly using a pressure cooker. If you do not have a pressure cooker, you can use a slow cooker as well…of course that would require planning ahead. The total time for this is about an hour and a half but

Pressure Cooking

September 3, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

I’ve talked to many people who are afraid to use a pressure cooker. It seems there are many stories out there of pressure cookers exploding while cooking, generally from our grandmother’s era. And I admit myself that I had my pressure cooker in the box for several years after I got it

Sous Vide Pork Roast

Sous Vide Pork Roast

August 26, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

One of my most favorite ways to cook pork roast ever. Cooking the pork roast this way gives it a tenderness similar to a prime rib of beef with such an incredible flavor.  So, to start  you take a pork roast. We’ve found that the bone really gives it a

On savory jello dishes…

August 23, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

Look I lived through the ’70s. I mostly remember it…but there’s one thing I JUST don’t get: savory Jell-o salads. Maybe it’s because it was mostly phased out by the time I was a kid? Maybe it’s because my parents were hippie health freaks who wouldn’t even let us have

Homemade Mayonnaise

Homemade Mayonnaise

August 21, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

I’ve always wanted to make mayonnaise from scratch, because I had heard it was much better than store purchased mayonnaise, so I decided to give it a try.  Now the first thing about mayonnaise is that of course it’s made with raw eggs, which does have some degree of risk

One of the most useful tools in my kitchen…I actually have 2, in case one of them dies.  The immersion blender. Sometimes referred to as a “stick blender”.  Why do you need one? I use mine often for many things. Here are some that I can think of:  Saving sauces

The easiest way to make corn on the cob-EVER.

August 17, 2016 by Angela Leave a Comment

This isn’t really a recipe. I mean the recipe is throw the corn on the cob in the oven. Whole. Bake at 350 for about half an hour to 40 minutes.  It’s going to look like this…and yes you leave the silk on. That’s what makes this easy.  After you
