Beer Jelly Caramelized Onions
Stock up on onions because you are about to have a serious addiction. Caramelized onions are stupid easy to make and go on everything. That’s right, everything. Serve on burgers or sandwiches to add a deep and sweet flavor that happens to go really well with blue cheese. Top salads and baked potatoes with golden …
Chipper Chicken
Ask my father and he'll tell you that Father of the Bride is the worst movie ever. While my sisters and our mother howled with laughter as Steve Martin went into hysterics trying to live in a house that was being remodeled for a wedding, my own father just shook his head saying “that’s not …
Baked Salmon with Hefeweizen
Dear winter, It just isn’t working for me any more. Even the dog seems tired of the chewy water. Let’s break it off. –K, thanks. While all of you down South are seeing signs of spring, we are still running the woodstove and trying to keep warm. Here is one more recipe/technique that heats up …
Winter Grain Salad
Grain salad is a perennial favorite of mine (see further proof here & here). Tweeked for winters’ offerings, this grain salad features nutty wild rice harvested in Canada, locally grown spinach, and my own butternut squash. When blended together, rustic grains and veggies make a nutrient packed satisfying dish that is hearty, not heavy. I …
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 …
Beer Jelly Slow Cooker Ribs
This weekend I had a blast hanging out close to home at the Woodstock Inn. We met new friends, sold some jelly, and enjoyed a beer by the fire while the snow fell. Oh the reasons we love Vermont! I told so many people about how I have been using beer jelly in the crock …
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. When we enjoyed this bread I used Cabot’s Horseradish Cheddar (my absolute favorite Cabot cheese!) but I bet it would be killer with any one of …
Braised Mushrooms
Braised mushrooms create a rustic sauce for hearty ricotta gnocchi. This earthy plate is rich, comforting and best served with a glass of bold wine. What makes this dish truly special is the combination of mushrooms prepared in different manners. The minced bits will melt down creating a thick base while the sliced mushrooms (especially …
Ricotta Gnocchi
The easiest gnocchi ever! I love, love, love gnocchi. The little dumplings can be made of almost anything (potato, cheese, sunchokes, etc) and I will gobble them up. My twin knows my love for gnocchi and she knows my love for simple food. When twin came to visit in August she instructed me on how …
