Last Friday Bob Waldrop shared a delicious idea for taking advantage of the current abundance of radishes. I was inspired to cook ‘em up Saturday morning for a great start to a productive day. I have fond memories of making radish sandwiches with my grandparents in Minnesota. We would generously slather butter on sandwich bread [...]

An entirely different breakfast muffin

An update on the prosciutto cups I posted about last month: This morning I made the muffins using shaved ham from the Oklahoma Food Co-op. I am happy to report that it worked just as well as the prosciutto. Just as before, I had to overlap the pieces, since few were long enough to completely [...]
Something Different

The nights are getting chilly; we’ve put the flannel sheets on our bed. I am excited about the changing season, yet seeing these peaches and tomato slices makes me miss summer already. Here are some memorable meals from late summer. How time flies! August 28. Crispy Prosciutto Cups Adapted from Managing PCOS for Dummies (Odd, [...]
Shredding Potatoes

Quick idea: If, after dehydrating your potatoes, you still have more you need to use up, make hash browns! Grate the potatoes with a cheese grater, spread them out on a cookie sheet or plastic cutting board, freeze until solid, then transfer the potatoes to a freezer bag. (The potatoes stuck somthin’ fierce to my [...]
Sunday Brunch

Zucchini fritters and an array of fruit. I’d say this is my first successful attempt at frying something. I have tried and failed with okra and beet chips. I think the secret is enough oil and a good coating. The oil got too hot toward the end, so that is something to be mindful of [...]
Biscuit Bloopers

Sunday was a crazy day in the kitchen. I am tempted to say I would have been better off avoiding the kitchen all together, but I learned (and re-learned) a few things. I was very excited to attempt to make biscuits with rendered lard. I found a couple recipes online. I find it annoying that [...]
Anytime Meal
Posted in Breakfast, Casserole/One Dish on February 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Nothing fancy here. Just a yummy breakfast: an improvisational frittata and a broiled grapefruit. Really, this is an anytime meal. I chronically misspell frittata. I just want those double ts to be at the end. Frittatas are becoming my favorite receptacle for food on the brink of badness (and not in a good way). I [...]
In My Belly

No photos today. Perhaps that’s a good thing because my meal doesn’t look very appetizing. As I was making my breakfast smoothie this morning, I cooked some cream of bulgur for my sack lunch. Cream of bulgur is parboiled wheat berries that have been finely ground—similar to Cream of Wheat but better for you, since [...]
Oklahoma Apples

I was in Georgia the first time I crunched on a local apple. Ya know—an apple from the same hemisphere, nay! the same state. Before I moved here three years ago, I had no idea apples could grow in Oklahoma. So far this month, I have purchased some apples from the Edmond farmers’ market and [...]
Cream of Bulgur Wheat Casserole

Last Friday night: hearty casserole with some bursting-with-flavor ‘mater slices. I know, it doesn’t look very appetizing, but don’t we know that looks can be deceiving? Saturday morn: casserole with a fried egg and so-not-local grapes and cherries. Oh, and my cold brew iced coffee. Nummy, nummy. (I’ve been hanging out with a 1-year-old tonight.) [...]
