Homemade Spicy Green Chile Salsa
If you’ve been reading this blog for long, you know I am originally from New Mexico and that I use green chile a lot. Like – a whole lot. I love it and when I can get a big quantity of it I’m all in. I found this 3 lb. bag of it recently and…

Top 5 Edible Crops to Plant Now for an Early Urban Farm Harvest
Gardening is my second favorite activity (to cooking). There is nothing like deciding what to have for dinner and heading into my front yard to pluck the ingredients. My kids like to join in too — they love to try each kind of lettuce and then spit it out and tell me it’s gross (joke’s…

Perfect Herbed Scallops with Butter and Garlic
Scallops are one of our favorite sea foods, but when we mess them up they are almost inedible. These take a very light hand on the spices and a precise cooking time, and then a big ol’ dump of butter at the end. We ate these with a baked red potato and a fresh garden…

Gluten free pancakes made with oat flour (the perfect weekend breakfast)
Pancakes are a holiday staple around our house, but they always make me feel a bit sluggish—even gluten free ones. I discovered that oat flour doesn’t have that effect on us and this recipe is a little bit indulgent with the almond extract and salted butter. Ingredients: 1.5 cups oat flour 4 tablespoons sugar (or…

Brussels Sprouts With Sweet Roasted Glaze
This side dish really goes with anything, but the last time I made it I accidentally discovered that it is the.best.chili.topping.period. I already think there is little better in the food world than a super crisp, almost burned Brussels sprout, but when you add them to the chili it created a whole new texture and…

Coconut milk tapioca pudding (with fruit purée)
I love puddings of all kinds and tapioca is no exception. Tapioca is one of those things I always plan to make but rarely do, so when I saw that I had some in the pantry I went to work. This recipe has fruit, and you can sub it for any type or omit it…

Salmon With Gochujang Glaze
A couple of months ago we visited a local restaurant that served a sriracha-glazed salmon that was so good we’ve been thinking about it ever since. I’ve tried a couple of times to recreate it, without much luck. This recipe is definitely different, and I subbed a Korean Gochujang sauce for the sriracha, but it’s…

Chicken Recipe: Sweet Potato With Chicken Chili
This might be my favorite new chicken recipe. While there are many white chicken chili recipes out there, somehow I’ve never made it until this week. I decided to use this version as a sweet potato topping, but it would be good on its own or rolled into a tortilla as a taco or enchilada.…

Sweet Potato With White Chicken Chili Topping for an Easy Weeknight Meal
There are many white chicken chili recipes out there, and yet somehow I’ve never made it until this week. I decided to use this version as a sweet potato topping, but it would be good on its own or rolled into a tortilla as a taco or enchilada. Ingredients (makes six servings): Six boneless skinless…
