Moist dark chocolate mini cupcakes coated in a honey infused chocolate ganache and sprinkled with brown butter suffused beet crumbs. I thought these cupcakes would make for a great pre-Halloween post. There is something delightfully spooky about topping a chocolate cup cake with beets. My wonderful work colleagues gifted me with a couple of cookbooks…

Stout Braised Pork Tacos
Pork short ribs rubbed in spices, braised in a broth of stout beer, honey, and garlic, and served up on a tortilla with fresh salsa and sliced avocado – what’s not to love? Typically I would consider pork ribs to be summer fare, perfect for outdoor grilling weather. Tacos also have an element of sunny,…
Orange, Mustard, and Sage Roasted Pork Tenderloin
A pork tenderloin that has been coated in a honey, mustard, orange, and garlic glaze, pressed with fresh sage, and roasted on a bed of fresh orange slices. Tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy this is one of the easiest roasts I have ever made. If you are a novice roaster or just don’t feel like…
Apple Quick-Bread

One of my latest food revelations is that heavily spiced apple cakes/breads muffle the bright, saccharinely tart flavors of a…
Honey Pickles
I felt like I needed to get this post in before the official start of Fall, which happens to be tomorrow, although it still doesn’t feel like Fall. It’s hard to believe that I turned on my AC last Monday. Crazy. Total Boloney. At this time of year I’m usually contemplating on how long I…
Radishes with Raw Honey
I planted radishes in my garden for the first time this year, and they have done extremely well. Now, I am not a big radish lover, as a kid I was would always make the point of picking them off of my salads. Actually, come to think of it, I still do that as an…
Pickled Sweet Corn Salad
Lightly pickled sweet corn in a honey dijon vinaigrette with small cubes of salty feta, sweet bell peppers, and freshly picked chives. A simple summer salad, that would probably qualify more as a starchy side then an actual salad, but is still a lovely accompaniment to any summer meal. A lighter alternative to the more…
White Bread
All week I have been fielding a craving for my Grandma’s homemade strawberry jam on her white homemade bread. I have been chalking it up to an ongoing craving for Spring, which has still been eluding us in these snowy northern environs. I generally do not make white bread, if fact, I can not remember…
