Vegetable Pastrami Soup
I have been playing with pastrami lately! I am so happy they are making so many delicious meats uncured and without nitrites! All the flavor and none of the scary stuff. Trader Joes sells this and I keep buying it. I had a Rosemary Ham phase and now I am in the pastrami phase of experimentation. This soup turned out…
Mama Lachute’s Blackberry Dumplings
Once I read this recipe I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I have never heard of boiling dumplings in a blackberry syrup. I had a ton of blackberries that were too tart to eat alone. And I just had to see what this was all about! It was delicious! I couldn’t stop eating these and knew I shouldn’t,…

Egg Rolls
I used to make these years ago. I thought it would be fun to try again and show Henry. The recipe is not that exact. Ground pork, ginger, vegetables and Asian seasonings. The dipping sauce was soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, lime juice and red pepper flakes. The lime juice makes it fresh!

Handmade Vanilla
I stumbled across a recipe to make your own vanilla at Smitten Kitchen which is a beautiful food blog I love to look at for inspiration. It is not much of a recipe since it has only 2 ingredients: vanilla beans and vodka. I searched the internet for ratios and where to buy the best beans. I bought mine at…
Henry’s Winning Sandwich
Henry and I watched Cutthroat Kitchen and had a sandwich competition. This was his creation. He took some really fresh french baguette and grilled it with a filling from a mozzarella and salami rolled thing we got at the store. I don’t know exactly how he cooked it but the cheese was melted perfectly and the bread was crisp and…
Riccioli Pasta with Caramelized Corn
This is the Riccioli pasta I found at Fairway that sat in my kitchen waiting for something interesting to happen with it! I found this recipe online at Food and Wine. Their recipe has you making the pasta from scratch and twirling the strands of homemade pasta around a knitting needle which sounds amazing but these store bought ones were…
