A Churro Disaster
Not all of my efforts in the kitchen meet with success.
My Pasta Adventure
With my increasing confidence in the kitchen, I thought it would be nice to make fettuccini from scratch. While it wasn't perfect, I was happy with the result.
Alfredo Sauce with a Twist
Alfredo sauce is hands down my favorite pasta sauce. I was intrigued when I found a recipe with an unusual twist using cream cheese.
Homemade Garlic Powder
I like to buy garlic in bulk, but unfortunately, we are not always able to use it fast enough. I found a great way to preserve garlic longer.
Jalapeno-Peach Salsa
I picked up some beautiful peaches at the farmer's market and thought I would see how my jalapeno-mango salsa recipe works with peaches instead of mango.
Sweet Pickled Peppers
I found myself with an overabundance of peppers from my garden, so I decided to pickle them using a great recipe that resulted in incredible pickled peppers.
Cacio e Pepe
Recently, I watched an episode of Good Eats - Reloaded where I learned a new-to-me pasta cooking method and a new recipe, Cacio e Pepe (cheese and pepper).
North Carolina Lemon Pie
As a Key lime pie lover, when I saw a recipe for North Carolina Lemon Pie, I had to make it. The simple recipe takes some time, but it is worth the wait.
Shrimp Scampi
I have always loved shrimp scampi. I never realized how easy it is to make until I saw a recipe on America's Test Kitchen.
Chicken Stock
One of the staples in our kitchen is chicken stock. While the stock may take all day, the fantastic flavor is absolutely worth the effort.
