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

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 [...]

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.) [...]

The Punkin Patch

I went a little crazy this fall and winter, ordering a pumpkin or two with every co-op order. They keep well! And Matt loves pumpkin! are examples of my rationale. But, now we have a lot of pumpkin. Matt made four pumpkin rolls last week. I wasn’t able to document that undertaking. We ate on [...]

Monday Ice Day Brunch

Work was canceled Monday so I happily made a hearty first meal on this icy, dicey, gray day. It all started with the Green Onion Biscuits by Sherrel Jones, clipped from The Oklahoman. The recipe intrigued me because it instructs you to cook the biscuits in a cast iron skillet for the even distribution of [...]

Sunday Breakfast

Well, since our discovery of Eggs Benedict at Coltrane Café, Matt has been itching to create his own. We used the ubiquitous Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupon to buy this. We didn’t really know what we were getting into, and in the middle of the very involved breakfast preparations, we decided the Eggs Benedict should [...]
