In case you missed it, or if by some small chance you don't know about The Pioneer Woman, (is there anyone left on the planet that doesn't know about The Pioneer Woman? I think they even frequent her site from the space station) I posted a lovely recipe for one of my favorite salads --…
The roses are in season. That sounds funny to say the roses are "in season" but I suppose everything is in season at one point or another, everyone and everything has a season, some longer than others. We have a rose arbor at Tulipwood, my great grandfather built it after he bought Tulipwood from the…
I love eating wild foods which you can probably tell by now.Also, fried dough is delicious.So is amaretto.I had read about elderflower fritters in the process of making elderflower syrup and I just had to know more.Edible earthy tasting flowers, amaretto flavored batter, powdered sugar... let's go!It begins with flour, lemon zest, 2 eggs, vanilla,…

Since I have been hijacked by life lately, it's taken me a while to share these crispy treats, but they are an important topic.I just love chickpeas. Or is it garbanzo beans? Well, I love them either way. Sometimes, when I’m in a rush, I just empty a can of them into a bowl, add…
Butter sauce, that is, in English speak.Butter is such a magical thing, don't you think?I call it udder nectar. Sometimes.Only with people who know me well, like you for example. But I usually don't call it that at a first encounter.You see, we get so caught up in recipes, but sometimes it can be simpler…
I was visiting a friend recently and she casually offered me bagels for breakfast—she just had to finish baking them she said.Baking them? You see, she had let them rise overnight, then finished them off in the morning so they’d be warm and crusty for breakfast. She had made them from scratch.If that isn’t impressive…
