. 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)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 [...]

Meyer Lemon Cheesecake with Speculaas Crust
Posted by Sheri on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 · Comments (6)This month’s Bake Together is cheesecake, and it wasn’t difficult at all to figure out what I was going to make. I love cheesecake – creamy and mildly cheesy with a crunchy crust. It’s also one of the first desserts I ever learned how to make. My “problem” right now is a glut of Meyer [...]

The Oatiest Oatmeal Cookies Ever
Posted by Sheri on Friday, February 3rd, 2012 · Comments (0)Larry requested oatmeal cookies for a staff meeting. He loves oatmeal cookies – especially with dried blueberries instead of raisins. I had high hopes for these (it’s Alton Brown, after all), but they were just okay. I overcooked just about every batch (maybe something to do with the oat flour?). And they weren’t as chewy [...]
Speculaas have a reputation of being extremely addictive. In my book, they’re most addictive in the form of a spread – kind of like peanut butter, but infinitely more delicious. The cookies are kind of similar to a cutout gingerbread cookie – with a generous amount of cinnamon and other warm spices. These are easy [...]
Meyer Lemon Meringue Kisses
Posted by Sheri on Saturday, January 28th, 2012 · Comments (0)With the glut of Meyer lemons in my neighborhood (my backyard, plus several neighbor’s trees), I’m inclined to make huge batches of lemon curd to give away. Lemon curd is wonderful, but it leaves me with a lot of egg whites. And the Meyer lemons keep coming (I’m not complaining). Ever since I made meringue [...]
