I’ve been given the joyous task of doing some recipe creation for the Market-To-Go program at the Oak Ridge Farmer’s Market! If you know me, there’s nothing I love more than my local farmer’s market, where I get to talk to the folks growing the food, learn more about the seasonal givings of our land,Continue reading “Salad Days – Collards Edition”

Labneh is All You Need
I’m always a girl who needs something creamy in her meals, whether that’s a gooey cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or a soup finished with a little half and half. It’s what makes food sumptuous, and my favorite way to combine all of the luscious ingredients I just mentioned is labneh. Labneh is aContinue reading “Labneh is All You Need”
Veganize that Ramen!
A few months ago, Erin showed you the wonders of homemade Ramen. Her recipe is traditional and beautiful, and I highly suggest you read over it before we get to this vegan iteration I came up with. Traditional Ramen has a lot of non-vegan elements to it (bone broth, some toppings, eggs too!), so IContinue reading “Veganize that Ramen!”
Fancy Butter
You well know that I love a fancy thing–whether that’s munching on homemade potato chips and cheap caviar or chopping up some beef for a tartare, I’m definitely a bougie bitch. But a bougie bitch who also loves cheap short cuts. One of the my favorite of these is a compound butter, which is basicallyContinue reading “Fancy Butter”

If You’re Difficult Like Me, Maybe Go Vegan Just in Time for the Holidays
If you’ve been following along with this blog, you know I go back and forth between really healthy eating and not-so-healthy eating. Because I’m just a difficult person, I’ve decided my latest attempt at veganism is going to be just in time for the generally meat-soaked holidays (yeah, I used the term “meat-soaked”!). To getContinue reading “If You’re Difficult Like Me, Maybe Go Vegan Just in Time for the Holidays”

Treat Yourself – An Intro to Steak & Fries
As you’re probably aware, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I get bored with certain foods easily, and I am always hunting for my new favorite recipe. However, sometimes there’s nothing better than a simple steak. No fancy toppings. No herbed butter sauces. Just meat and salt. And you know, some sexyContinue reading “Treat Yourself – An Intro to Steak & Fries”
Caribbean Chowder
It curious to me that chowder became associated with winter foods since all of the items traditionally in a chowder–corn, potatoes, onions, tomatoes (if you’re a heathen)–are all summer vegetables. And there’s no shame in loving a good soup year-round. If you want to make the most of the last of the corn at theContinue reading “Caribbean Chowder”
