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 …

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 …
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 …
Potlicker is on the move. Fall is setting in and the summer farmer’s market season is coming to a close. That leaves just a few weeks to stock up on summer flavors before they disappear. Hard to say what my favorite combination is, Blackberry Lemon on toast or Yellow Tomato & Basil over goat cheese. …
