Meat and Bean Chili
I think I’m enjoying the winter CSA I joined even more than I enjoyed the summer/fall CSA. Both are great, but the winter version includes such items as locally raised meats, cheeses, milk, and even root beer in addition to the late harvest/cold storage fruits and veggies. Our most recent share included a pound of ground goat meat. If you’ve never had goat, it’s similar to but gamier than lamb. It can replace beef in just about any dish, and it stands up particularly well in spicier recipes.

Bacon Caramels
One year Starbucks put salted caramel hot chocolate on their menu. What an incredible drink! The way the smoked sea salt played off the sweetness in the chocolate and caramel was music to my taste buds. I missed it dearly when it was gone and eagerly awaited its return the following year. It never came, and I fell into despair. Okay, not really, but I was sorely disappointed. This year, however, they did something even more amazing! Salted caramel mocha…just like the salted caramel hot chocolate, but with some of the sweetness cut with coffee. Yum!
Perfectly Cooked Bacon Without the Mess!
Pan-frying bacon is a good way to end up with grease splatters all over your stove. Those splatters are even less enjoyable when they splash your forearm. Grilling bacon imparts and excellent flavor, and it seasons your grill nicely too. It requires lots of attention, however, to avoid flare-ups resulting in black, crumbly strips. Microwaved bacon dries out too easily, leaving something that more closely resembles artificial bacon bins. I make my bacon in the oven. Not only does it eliminate the mess, but it doesn’t require much of my attention, leaving me free to get the rest of breakfast … Continue reading

Crock Pot Split Pea Soup
I lost a dear friend this past weekend. After many good years together, my electric range went on to that big kitchen in the sky. My mourning period quickly ended when I realized I now had excuse to buy the gas range I’d been wanting. Yay! Of course I’m still without a stove until the replacement arrives and gets installed. Between the grill, the crock pot, the rice cooker and the electric wok, I think I’ll pull through. I decided I’d finally use that hambone that’s been taking up space in my freezer since Easter. This recipe is based on … Continue reading

Lemon Basil Marinade
I’m slacking again with updating this site. I was hoping to get at least one more recipe in before my recent trip to Walt Disney World, but time got away from me. I’d like to say it won’t happen again, but it probably will. I’ve been thinking up some new ideas for this site, though. I might start including some non-recipe (but still food related) posts. They’d focus on techniques I use in the kitchen, some of my most used gadgets, and things of that nature. I’d also like to start featuring some “guest” recipes, but more on that … Continue reading
