Now rather than dry brining the outside skin of the turkey, I make a delicious herbed butter that I stuff under the skin. If you want to make my old […]

Gluten-Free Tiramisu from Scratch (Mostly)

Since the last things we made were homemade Kahlua and vanilla sugar, the obligatory recipe for today should be a dish that uses both. Today we’re making tiramisu with those ingredients, plus some eggs, mascarpone, and storebought ladyfingers. Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert with conflicting origin stories as to the original date, city, and […]

Homemade Kahlua and Vanilla Sugar

A white Russian is one of my favorite non-whiskey cocktails, and for good reason: they’re delicious.

I decided rather than update my previous post again, I’d draft a whole new post from scratch, just like when I bake […]

Fried Pickles with Tangy Dipping Sauce

To celebrate Frybruary, we need a classic bar food… Fried pickles. And on the side, a tangy dipping sauce! Of course, I’m going to make these in a small batch, because if I made a larger serving, I’d eat them all without shame. If you want to make more, double or even triple the recipe. […]

Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe

Originally published 1/4/2015. Updated and reposted 1/18/2018. Today feels like a “throw everything in the slow cooker” day, and pot roast was one of my very first blog posts. I’ve updated the recipe since then, and thought the weather recently was the perfect excuse to revisit this dish. Searing is optional, but recommended. I also […]
