Modified from Tom Douglas’ Seattle Kitchen Cornbread pudding is one of our perennial favorites for any holiday meal. Not only is it melt-in-your-mouth good with a creamy custard base, savory herbs and dry aged cheese, and a touch of natural sweetness from corn and caramelized onions…mmmm…what was I saying? I seemed to drift off there… Continue reading Cornbread Pudding

Roasted Delicata Squash “Fries”
I was negligent in not posting this simple, simple recipe for delicious delicata squash on our blog. The readers of our facebook page know that this is one of our new favorite side dishes (if you haven’t liked our facebook page…see, there’s one good reason you should!) With Thanksgiving coming up soon, everyone needs an… Continue reading Roasted Delicata Squash “Fries”
Twice-Cooked Zucchini Boats
I confess – I’ve been a little crazed with the zucchini this year. Not because I actually grew any – – I am a horrible gardener! I planted several zucchini plants, and didn’t grow a single squash. When people talk of how productive their plants are, and they “just don’t know what to do with… Continue reading Twice-Cooked Zucchini Boats
Gluten-free Skillet Cornbread
Modified from “Etta’s Cornbread” in Tom Douglas’ Seattle Kitchen Every good Southern cook probably has a prized recipe or two for cornbread. I like mine buttery, slightly crumbly but not dry, with a touch of sweetness and a crispy crust. I adapted this recipe for gluten-free cornbread from one of my favorite cookbooks, Tom Douglas’… Continue reading Gluten-free Skillet Cornbread
3-Cheese Crackers (grain-free)
Who doesn’t love snacking on cheesy crackers? It’s hard to stop eating these! I used a combination of cheddar, jack, and Parmesan cheeses, but I think you could substitute other cheeses as well for a different taste. Adding a little cayenne pepper gives them a little kick, and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt on… Continue reading 3-Cheese Crackers (grain-free)
Cauliflower Purée with Goat Cheese
We ran across some MONSTER grass-fed ribeye steaks on-the-bone, perfect for Sunday Steak Night™! It seemed like a good night for a simple, mashed vegetable side dish. We have posted another recipe for mashed cauliflower, which I love, but it is really hearty and filling on its own. We needed something a little less rich… Continue reading Cauliflower Purée with Goat Cheese
Roasted Figs and Fennel
The last week has been blessedly fall-like with cooler temperatures. Time to start thinking about all the wonderful meals of the harvest season! Roasting vegetables in the oven is one of my favorite cooking methods – because it’s easy, sure, but also because the high heat caramelizes whatever natural sugars are present and transforms about… Continue reading Roasted Figs and Fennel
Primal Sandwich Bread 2.0
Like a cat with a new (catnip) toy, I had to play around some with the new bread recipe. I wanted to stick with the quick microwave method, but wanted the bread to be a little larger in diameter and have more flavor. I think this modification to the original recipe accomplishes that…give it a… Continue reading Primal Sandwich Bread 2.0
Oh baby, it’s a sandwich!
A sandwich! Two slices of bread, with practically anything in the middle. The filling could be as elaborate as layers upon layers of sliced meats and roasted vegetables, smeared with relishes, jams, or spicy condiments…or as simple as a bit of nut butter and honey. However, if it doesn’t have bread on the outside, I… Continue reading Oh baby, it’s a sandwich!
Curried Sweet Potato Gratin
A gratin is a dish typically prepared using ingredients of thinly sliced and layered potatoes and cream cooked in a buttered dish. Well….yum! This preparation method originated in France (of course); the name gratin dauphinois refers to the Dauphiné region of France, where this method of preparing potatoes is a specialty (according to Wikipedia). Here’s… Continue reading Curried Sweet Potato Gratin
Onion Strings (gluten-free)
Modified from The Pioneer Woman I have a confession to make – I completely suck at frying. One might wonder why I’m even allowed to reside in Georgia, since fried chicken is the most hallowed food around. Although several generations of my family were born in the southern part of the United States, including myself,… Continue reading Onion Strings (gluten-free)
Salmon with Roasted Peppers and Asparagus
We don’t go out to eat a lot, especially since we stopped eating grains. People give you strange looks when you request “no bread, please”, or order Chinese food without the rice. “Without the rice?” Incredulously, “Are you sure, no rice?” It seems beyond comprehension. However, last weekend we were out doing errands and decided… Continue reading Salmon with Roasted Peppers and Asparagus
Zucchini Noodles
I have a new kitchen gadget and I’m not afraid to use it! It looks pretty dangerous too. Indeed, right there on the package it says “the blade is very sharp, peel away from your hands.” So noted! It the Kuhn Rikon Julienne Peeler, which makes perfect tiny strips of vegetables with just a swipe… Continue reading Zucchini Noodles
BLT Salad
Every summer for as long as I remember, my favorite use of home-grown tomatoes was a bacon and tomato sandwich. I never was too big on the idea of putting lettuce on it, because tomatoes and bacon seemed to be enough! There was great anticipation for the first sandwich. Two slices of bread, a slathering… Continue reading BLT Salad
