Pumpkin Cake
Spicy, tender Pumpkin Cake to eat warm with whipped cream. Lovely for dessert, but devoured ’round these parts…for breakfast! When we ran out of whipped cream I just poured heavy cream over warm pieces, in a bowl, and made my son very happy. A little grating of fresh nutmeg over the top is a nice…
Cornbread Dressing
Last Thanksgiving was my first since giving up gluten, so to keep things easy, I just skipped eating my favorite part of my favorite meal…the dressing. Boo! I really missed it, as much as I dig turkey and mashed potatoes. Which is very, very much. This year, particularly since I’m hosting, I decided to play…
Challah with Honey-Rosemary Butter
Tender, egg-y challah bread is lovely on the Thanksgiving table. Not only is it pretty, but it harkens back to my mom’s yeasty homemade crescent rolls, but for about one-tenth of the effort. The honey-rosemary butter plays nicely with turkey, squash, and stuffing. And everything. Challah Makes one large loaf 4 c. bread flour (unbleached…
Fresh Cranberry Salsa
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. I thought it was worth another look in this week before Christmas. As delicious as cranberries are for Thanksgiving, I think they’re even more perfect – red! – on the Christmas table. Delicious with turkey, of course, but also pork or…
Baked Eggs with Herbs & Crispy Prosciutto
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. If you’ll have a housefull of guests this coming holiday weekend, keep this easy eggs-for-a-crowd dish in mind. For Turkey Day ideas, see Herb-Roasted Turkey & Gravy and Brussels Salad with Pancetta & Cranberries. Yay for Thanksgiving! An egg baked in…
I’m Thankful for…the Internet
Here’s a little pre-Thanksgiving What I’m Thankful for List, Internet Version. And a thought – I wouldn’t have met any of these lovely people without this blog or Twitter. That blows my mind. The picture above is a group of local food blogging ladies. We all met for dinner a few weeks ago and had…
Abigail and Arthur’s Kale Salad
I first wrote about this recipe a few weeks ago when I described our trip to San Francisco. My friend Maud’s brother Arthur made a delicious kale salad for us, and I couldn’t wait to make it at home and post it for you. In the process of raving about it on Facebook, I found…
Souvlaki: Greek Pork Skewers
Greek food and I had a shaky start, which is hard to imagine given how much I love it now. My first exposure to a fully-loaded gyro – hours into my freshman year, University of Wisconsin-Madison, with my just-met roommate – completely freaked me out. So much garlic, with yogurt on meat (wha?), and juices…
(Don’t) Let it Snow!
We casually sent a holiday card this year saying “Let it Snow.” I meant it, since I love a snowy holiday, but I was dreaming of a white – not white out – Christmas. Unfortunately, we (and a good portion of the Midwest) are about to get blasted with piles of snow, mixed with ice,…
Yes, I Am Alive
Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas! Apparently an entire month has disappeared in a puff of puppy, bronchitis, travel, guests, 8th-grade basketball, and holiday decorating, shopping, and planning. You can probably tell that I didn’t host Thanksgiving dinner this year (given detailed posts in years previous, a snapshot overview here), but I did bake…
