Crepes are such a brunch/breakfast dazzler. They are not difficult to make and they will please a crowd. This batter likes to rest for an hour or so on the fridge, but in a pinch you can cut that time down a bit. And this is enough for about 8 nice-sized crepes, so double it… Continue reading Sweet Breakfast crepes
Best Ever Popcorn
Years ago, when my babies were little and one of the only things they would eat was popcorn, I bought an air popper. I felt I could keep it healthier by using organic popcorn kernels and butter, limiting the salt and fat, etc. We did that for maybe 10 years. Delicious and fast! And then… Continue reading Best Ever Popcorn
Braised Lamb Shanks
Try not to drool! One year I was feeling in the mood to do something different for Christmas dinner. There are quite a few lamb farmers where we live and I was strolling through a winter market in McMinnville when I met one of them: Bide-A-Wee. I loved their farming philosophy and wanted to support… Continue reading Braised Lamb Shanks
Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
I love mushrooms. I didn't always love mushrooms, but when I was in my early 20's I learned the true deliciousness of a good, hearty, roasty, crimini. Then I ate every mushroom I could get my hands on. This recipe has since been my family's favorite because of it's dry cheesiness, lack of chopped stems,… Continue reading Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
Zucchini Corn Fritters
This is a quintessential Sarah summer snack. Usually with a day or two of my first corn pick my mom shows up at the kitchen door with a quiet question and a smile... "Is it time for zucchini corn fritters??" The answer is always YES!!! I make ours with gluten-free flour so she can enjoy… Continue reading Zucchini Corn Fritters
Soft Pretzels
I started making these for (and with) my kids when they were very small. They love all things bread and I was looking to spice things up a little. By spice, I mean... add salt - LOL! We can't resist soft pretzels whenever we are out and about and this home made version is delicious… Continue reading Soft Pretzels
Korvapuusti (Finnish Cinnamon Rolls)
For any of you who have tried and loved the AFO Pulla Bread recipe, you've got to try this! Korvapuusti uses the standard Pulla Bread recipe and turns it into an even sweeter and more sharable (and super adorable!) cinnamon roll. I read recently that these are one of the most popular sweet snacks in… Continue reading Korvapuusti (Finnish Cinnamon Rolls)
Tarragon Marinated Mushrooms
A perfect antipasti option for any time of the year! Is it just me or does everyone like those little jars of marinated mushrooms from the fancy grocery store? Pre-covid times, you could sometimes find some at the Safeway "olive bar" sometimes, too. So yummy!! They are my go-to appetizer, midnight snack and picnic treat.… Continue reading Tarragon Marinated Mushrooms
Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Sandwich
Drooling yet? This is the. best. sandwich. If I'm being completely honest... I'm not the biggest tomato fan. Don't come for me!! I'll eat them, but I don't crave them like some of you do. So how can it be that THIS is my all-time favorite sandwich? It's more about the seeds than the flesh… Continue reading Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Sandwich
Pork Tenderloin
This meal feels super fancy, but once you get the hang of it, it's really fast and easy to throw together! I don’t understand how pork tenderloin is such an inexpensive cut of meat. I can get a 1 1/2 pound tenderloin for $5 at Winco and it's enough to feed all four of us.… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin
