I must always be prepared to serve toast and jam. If I have met you at a market or show recently I probably told you that we (Tall Dark Handsome & myself) have been living on bread and jam. You see we have been recipe testing a few fruit jams and TDH firmly believes that …
No-Knead Pizza Crust
Here is the pizza crust that we have been eating all week! I was so happy with the results that I made it two days in a row. This crust has served as a vehicle for cheese, tomato sauce, sausage, shrimp, cilantro pesto, onions, kale, even fig jam! My new favorite pie is topped with …
F.P. Pie Crust: Carrot Cake Jam Hand Pies
This hand pie came about because I have been on a run of making empanadas. Call them what you will; hand pie, patty, turnover, and empanada. They are all the same thing, food tucked into a folded circle of dough and baked, fried, etc. and I love everyway they come. We fill these pockets of …

Cheesy Herb Bread
This bread is reminiscent of deep dish cheese bread except it is not as heavy or as greasy. The texture is actually more biscuit-like except with pockets of cheese.

These pretty little scones are a tasty and festive treat for the 4th of July. They are great for breakfast or dessert and pack well for picnics and outings. Best made a day ahead of time, the recipe is very forgiving and can be adapted to what you have available. I have made these with …
Potlicker Glazed Ham
ThePotlicker’s Easter Ham Here is one more yummy use for Potlicker Beer Jelly. I used the Hefeweizen with Orange Zest flavor because I was sure that the citrus notes would pair well with clove. If you live outside of Vermont and my beer jelly is sadly not yet available, substitute apple jelly. The jelly makes …
Sweet Biscuits, Perfect for Shortcake
Everyone has a perfect recipe for biscuits. Each household has a meal that would not be a meal without a biscuit. While relatively simple, some of the best biscuits are achieved with little more than flour and finesse. Biscuits have different regional meanings around the world.

Cast Iron Cookware
I have a couple of pans that I am truly loyal to. Ones which live within reach always. They are never put away and they are never in the way. The one that lives somewhere near the front of the stove is a 10” skillet that use to be my grandmothers. It is old, …
