Grebiche sauce is an herby, full fat sauce (some would say dressing) that is often served over vegetables. It is French, explaining both its fat content and its fancy name. Traditionally made with mashed hardboiled egg and/or egg yolks it is also often seen with larger whole chunks of hardboiled egg. This version uses mayonnaise…
Creamy Greek Feta Dressing
I love the Creamy Greek Feta Dressing by Renee’s Gourmet Dressing. It is tasty, everyone loves it, and it is made with pretty great fresh ingredients. The only thing that isn’t ideal is the canola oil that is ever so common in packaged dressings. Canola, and other oils like soybean are used in products that will…
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…
Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Pesto
Have you ever had a recipe that started off as one thing but then slowly morphed into a different form? Usually when this happens for me it is because I am somewhat lazy, er efficient that is… That is what happened to my eggplant parmesan recipe. It started off as fancy individual stacks of goodness,…
Parsley Pesto
With all of the parsley still in my garden (!) I’ve been working on ways to preserve this year’s harvest. I’ve made and frozen a bunch of chimichurri, I’ve given a bunch away, I’ve added it to salads like crazy and there is still a healthy and prolific row living in the garden. This delicious…
Roasted Cauliflower with Salsa Verde
Salsa verde is a pretty loose name for any sauce, particularly one that is spanish or latin inspired, that is green. This wonderful roasted cauliflower recipe was in a book that I first found online while searching for books dedicated to preparing veggies. When I find interesting looking cookbooks (or any kind of book really), my…
Homemade Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is a word that I cannot spell. No matter how many times I write it I have to Google it to be sure I’m spelling it correctly. I’m Polish/Ukrainian for God’s sake! You’d think there would be some sort of genetic propensity for getting it right. I can spell propensity. Crazy. Anyway, I grew…
Grilled Salmon With Garlic Scape Pesto
Tonight was one of those ‘what should we do for dinner?’ nights. It’s hot and I wasn’t feeling very motivated but I have a fridge full of garden and market goodness that I really don’t want to see go to waste. It’s such a first world problem… Earlier in the day I had harvested my…
Chimichurri Sauce
Steve has a good friend who is in like Flynn with some local cattle producers. He always seems to be coming up with deals on various kinds of meats and seafood and last week called him to see if he’d like to buy some skirt steak. I’m pretty sure Steve had no idea what skirt steak even was…
Mrs. Boswell’s {Best Ever} Chicken Marinade
A lot of my recipes come from friends and when I receive them I immediately rename them to reflect who I got them from. That is the case with this chicken marinade from Mrs. Boswell. Nearly 25 years ago, when my eldest son was just a baby, I met Steve in Texas at the end of…
