Have you ever seen or read something, or had an experience, that led you down a long and convoluted path? In this tech age I’m betting you have. Happens to me daily. Some of these excursions are short and sweet, like a brief interest in the types of frogs found in our local area. This…
Applewood Smoked Maple Bacon
I’ve been pretty remiss on the blog front lately. Though I had great visions of taking advantage of the longer days to photograph delicious food, the reality is that I’ve just been eating delicious food and enjoying the longer days. I’ve also been doing a lot of reading, beginning with reading Charcuterie: The Craft Of Salting…
Venison Medallions with Haskap Sauce
How many truly memorable meals have you had in your life? Truly. Though we have certainly dined in our fair share of lovely restaurants, I can count a handful of meals that I can actually specifically remember. One of them was a venison steak with cherry sauce that I had in a long gone restaurant…
No-knead Sourdough Bread
I had the pleasure of watching the new ‘Cooked’ series on Netflix recently. This series, only 4 shows long, is based on Michael Pollan’s book of the same name. In it Pollan explores food and how it has evolved, and evolved us, through the 4 elements of Fire, Earth, Water and Air. For some reason…
Dad’s Kapusniak (Sauerkraut Soup)
The holidays are finally over and though I do enjoy them I am always just as glad to see the tree come down as I am to see it go up. Except for the little LED lights, I do love them and wish they could just stay all winter to get us through the darkest…
Savoury Cheese Biscotti
I’ve been making and eating a lot of soups lately. Not only do they seem perfect for cold winter days, but they are easy to make ahead then freeze in smaller portions and thaw quickly when needed. They are also the perfect antidote to the overindulgence that we are all prone to over the holidays….
Magret de Canard Séché (Duck Prosciutto)
Steve and I have always dreamed of making our own charcuterie and salumi. We’ve made fresh sausages a few times with really great results but have always wished we had a close Italian friend who would share their secrets to homemade cured meats like chorizo, capicollo and prosciutto. To me there is something highly romantic about a…
Ginger and White Chocolate Biscotti
Although I’m not much of a baker lately, I do enjoy the idea of creating yummy baked treats for the Christmas season. The reality though is that when I do bake, Steve and the boys might each take one or two servings of something and then the rest is left to tempt me. It usually…
Pumpkin Dog Treats
I have been feeding my dog Brie the BARF diet (Bones and Raw Food) for nearly her whole life. Early in her life she came down with a digestive problem requiring medication and a friend suggested that I check out BARF. Research ensued and from the first day that I nervously watched her crunch through…
Making Homemade Red Wine Vinegar
A couple of months ago I came across an article about making red wine vinegar yourself. At least that is how I think I got down this rabbit hole. You know how that goes? You see something, somewhere, on the interwebs, make a mental note of it, forget where you saw it or what you…
