. Our delivery from Siren SeaSA this week was squid. Gutted and cleaned, thankfully, and ultra fresh. We get a half-share, and it was still almost a pound of squid, so this will feed us for two meals. There isn’t anything complicated about the recipe, it just requires everything be prepped before frying up the [...]

Fried Squid Po’Boy with Avocado & Black Chile Oil
Posted by Sheri on Saturday, February 18th, 2012 · Comments (0)Meyer Lemon and Ricotta Cupcakes with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Posted by Sheri on Thursday, February 16th, 2012 · Comments (0)These cupcakes are delicious. They straddle the spectrum between cupcake and muffin because of the addition of the ricotta, but the not-too-sweet cake that’s perfumed with Meyer lemon works really well with the white chocolate buttercream. I think the cupcakes would be great just plain, too. And the lemon aroma and flavor gets a little [...]
Homemade Hemp Seed Butter
Posted by Sheri on Wednesday, February 15th, 2012 · Comments (0). Nut butters made at home are amazingly simple – take any nut and give it a whir in the food processor until it’s the right consistency. Add some salt if you want. Sometimes a little bit of oil helps too (neutral oil, such as grapeseed). If you don’t like peanut butter (I don’t), then [...]
Braised Pork Belly with Caramel-Miso Glaze
Posted by Sheri on Tuesday, February 14th, 2012 · Comments (0)We picked up a slab of pork belly from one of the farmer’s market vendors, and it’s been sitting in the freezer, waiting for me to figure out how I wanted to cook it. It’s not the first time I’ve cooked pork belly, but this time I wanted to braise it. This recipe was exactly [...]

Sesame Broccoli Rabe
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, February 12th, 2012 · Comments (0)As someone dedicated to our local CSA and farmer’s markets, I should be a fanatic about vegetables. I am, in theory. Produce is interesting, pretty, healthy, and I love how what’s in the markets changes with the seasons. But in practice, I don’t like vegetables very much. I never have. I work hard to find [...]
Chocolate Whoopie Pies
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, February 12th, 2012 · Comments (9)I’ve been dying to make these chocolate whoopie pies, because the red velvet whoopies we made a year ago for Baked Sunday Mornings were really fabulous. Would the chocolate version be just as good? My batter was odd – a little runny, and I had problems with lumps of flour. It did thicken up as [...]

BLT&E With Harissa Mayo
Posted by Sheri on Saturday, February 11th, 2012 · Comments (0)Larry and I are both big fans of sandwiches. He’s got a definite talent for putting great flavors together between two slices of bread, too. But tonight it was up to me – he just returned from a week at a conference in Orlando, so I knew he’d want something decent for dinner after a [...]

Apple Cake
Posted by Sheri on Friday, February 10th, 2012 · Comments (0)I consider this style of cake a snack cake, and it’s one of my favorite things to bake. It’s a very simple batter, not too thick, topped with apples arranged in a pretty pattern. It’s not too sweet and makes a tasty afternoon snack with coffee or tea. Find the recipe on the Canal House [...]
Root Beer Float Cupcakes
Posted by Sheri on Thursday, February 9th, 2012 · Comments (1)This is another recipe from The Butch Bakery cupcakes, which I reviewed recently on Cooks&Books&Recipes. I thought these would be really interesting, but can I be honest? I made a couple of unfortunate choices here. First – I used Zatarian’s Root Beer extract for the frosting. It’s one of the two recommended brands, and is [...]
Miso Sesame Winter Squash
Posted by Sheri on Wednesday, February 8th, 2012 · Comments (0)The recipes from Heidi at 101 Cookbooks always appeal to me – I think it’s because we share a preference for savory, umami flavors (for me, that means things like miso, soy sauce, cheese, green tea, tomatoes and cured meats). This recipe worked great in terms of my pantry, because we still had some delicata [...]
