Am I the only one who needs to work hard to control myself around a big pile of corn on the cob? You know the situation: you walk into your grocery store, or at the farmers market, and there they are: three or four giant wooden bins, filled high with cobs. People surround those bins,…

Roasted Shallot & Cider Soup with Cheddar Toasts
Some recipes are crafted by cravings or inspirations. Others, out of need. And that, is how this soup came to be. Of course, for me, creating is never a straight-forward, simple path. A couple weeks ago, I bought apple cider to make this salted caramel. Even though I doubled the recipe, I still had about…
Furikake Guacamole with Japanese 7 Spice Blend Tortilla Chips
You may think that two furikake recipes in one year is overkill. Personally, I think it’s a serious deficit. Trust me. I’m aware that the foods that top my list of favorites — chicken liver, salmon roe, canned and fresh sardines, really intense cheeses — are easily found on other people’s, not-in-a-million-years lists. So, I…

Specifically, school lunch. I actually just…

Corn & Sweet Potato Chowder (Dairy Free)
It was fall of 2010 and we had lived in our new home for six months. I had collected frames, printed pictures and was ready to hang. For some reason, I could not get three pictures – my attempt at making grape nuts, that didn’t work, but looked like perfectly rustic graham crackers; a pot…
Grated Pasta, Lemon-Chicken Meatballs & Peas in Broth
Easton is Food TV obsessed. It started as a compromise. Easton doesn’t watch TV during the week, but on the weekends, she is allowed a couple episodes of Daniel Tiger or Sesame Street. But, one early Saturday morning, I wasn’t in the right headspace for Tiger, she wasn’t in the right headspace to settle for the…
