The little dinette that could (and the turnip that did)

Meredith

Posted on March 11, 2012

Before we get to my Nana’s recipe for pineapple upside down cake, we have to talk about turnips.  Now is the time to eat turnips, as they are nice and firm, crunchy, and not fibrous.  Almost every booth at the farmers market was selling turnips. I was very impressed with the flavor they imparted to this frittata.  When I was shredding them, they smelled like a potato and a radish at the same time.  My dogs ate some raw chunks, and although at first they were surprised, they came back for more.  There is a sweetness to a really fresh turnip, as well as a hint of the radish. This recipe is really easy, but has some prep time.  You have to peel and…

Candy Cane Cookies

Meredith

Posted on December 13, 2011

I think these are Santa’s favorite.  I have been leaving them out for him since I was big enough to love Christmas (at a very young age, in fact).  These cookies are not only cute (Betty Crocker calls them “gay candy canes”) they are a perfect mixture of light vanilla butter cookie and marzipan flavor. While making them I discovered why people have children: to do the manual labor of making dozens of cute cookies (I’m on to you Mom…)  But because I love to post here, I did it all myself (wipes forehead), so you could have the recipe AND the pictures.  Do find some children to help you, since this is so much fun. After making these, and the chocolate pudding pie, I…

feasted

Meredith

Posted on December 6, 2011

I have been wanting to post here for days– since Thankgiving– er, Evacuation Day dinner– was so successful.  Since then I have been constantly composing blog posts in my head while cooking, eating, grocery shopping, dog walking.  It is kind of overwhelming all this inspiration, and a little stiffling, ironicly.  Oh, and then there is my job… that takes up some of my mental capacity as well. I wont even try to explain how to make everything we feasted on for the holiday dinner– but I will say it was an amazing success.  Thanks to everyone who helped– even Tlacuache who got in trouble for nibbling on things before they were ready.  And those who did the dishes– you are my hero.  Also thanks to the special guests– those who came the long…

welsh rarebit

Meredith

Posted on November 12, 2011

If you like macaroni and cheese, or pizza, or a BLT, you might just love this bit of comfort food I have been savoring since I was a kid. This meal is as good as, if not better than, “breakfast for dinner,” a pot of queso dip, or an oozy grilled cheese. And I love breakfast for dinner… Apparently a bit of a fad dish for housewives in the 1960s, my grandmother made this dish, and so did my mother, and so do I. It is delicious, easy, and you eat it with a knife and a fork. They made it without beer, and with yellow sharp cheddar cheese. I make it with beer, and Cabot white cheddar. But it all harkens back to…
