This Lemon Herb Tofu has become a fan favorite at Thanksgiving. We’ve been perfecting it over the past several years and this year, BIL was good enough to weigh out all the ingredients so we know exactly how we like it. This tofu is super lemony from the addition of preserved lemon. You can useRead more
So I went on a bit of a hiatus. With the holidays, and then a cold, I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m thinking of some new features for this little old blog, so I hope you’ll bear with me as I figure out and experiment with some ideas. The new year is always aRead more
These crash potatoes were also part of my Valentine’s day meal. I saw these potatoes from the Pioneer Woman ages ago and obviously knew they’d be great (because I’m pretty sure everything the Pioneer Woman makes is great). And I was not disappointed. These potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside andRead more

I’ve wanted to try this recipe for ages. As soon as I saw it, I thought it would be an awesome combination. I was not disappointed. These shortbreads have an amazing buttery taste even though there’s no butter. The rosemary and parmesan are a great match. These are perfect as a snack, a fun appetizer,Read more
I’m always on the quest for a good chicken salad recipe. I have an idealized memory of the chicken salad that was served at a coffee shop near my college. River Road Coffeehouse made a mean chicken salad sandwich. It had almonds and pineapple in it and it was served on a croissant! What’s notRead more
