Super Quick Treat For Super Bowling

It’s time for the big game! This little treat is a great appetizer that a friend made and brought to a party of mine a few years ago. Ever since I’ve been taking it as my go-to quick and easy appetizer. The recipe below makes 16 but it’s very very easy to double, triple, or […]

Hello Stew, Meet Curry & Saffron

I tend to eat a lot of warm foods in the winter time. Winter just seems to loan itself well to soups, stews, and ragouts. The following is a modified version of one of my favorite recipes. It combines lots of veggies with two of my favorite spices: saffron and curry! I made this while […]

Spare A Rib Or Two

I was cooking for men. I needed to make man-shaped foods to feed manly menfolk. What’s manly? Ribs! What’s more manly than ribs? Ribs drowned in beer! I made these with my own BBQ sauce, which is pretty tangy. The great thing about making your own sauce is that you can make it to your […]

Crisper Drawer Ham & Black Eyed Pea Stew

Who snagged the ham bone after this year’s Christmas dinner? This girl. Traditionally a lot of folks prefer to make some version of split pea soup, but I decided to make something I call “Crisper Drawer Stew.” What exactly is in Crisper Drawer Stew? It’s not quite everything but the kitchen sink…it’s actually all the […]

Thinking Soup Outside the Bowl

This is a guest post from personal chef and culinary instructor Kathryn Furman. Every year Mr.F. and I throw a cocktail party for Festivus, and every year I serve 10 to 12 fairly labour intensive appetizers. I fall into the trap of too much time in the kitchen and not enough time with my […]

Stew + Pie Crust = Pot Pie?

I love pie crusts, as you may have noticed. And I welcome any excuse to put dinner inside of one. So I decided I would make a cioppino-inspired stew but with less fish and baked inside a pie crust. So it was to be a seafood pot pie of sorts…

Banishing Breakfast Routines

I often fall into routines when it comes to making and eating breakfast at home. During the week I eat a bagel or a banana every morning. When I’m out of fruit or on the go I’ll have a Luna bar. If I have enough time I might fry up two pieces of bacon and […]

Freezing Outside, Hearty & Warm Inside

It’s been f-ing cold in Denver. Single digits, negative temperatures, wind. And to make this cold snap even more delightful, there is no heat in my house. Apparently there is a problem with the boiler and they’re “working” to get it fixed. Meanwhile, I have nothing to do but freeze and cook to try to […]

You Should Know…

I have loved bacon ever since I was old enough to gum on its salty goodness. At an early age I declared I wanted to marry bacon and was sad to find out that little girls could not marry food products.

I was a vegetarian for a time—I could totally write love songs about kale—but bacon was the gateway drug that led me back to being an omnivore. So, my love of bacon and love of veggies collided, and here we are. The food is great. The pictures, so-so.

xoxo, Leah
