I started with the HarvestEating tomato sauce. Go there and watch the video. It will give you the gist of how to make this sauce. I have simply added a few minor touches to it because I really like puttanesca sauce. 1 28oz can San Marzano tomatoes (very important to get San Marzano) 1/4 cup [...]

Breakfast Burritos
Posted in breakfasts, cooking on May 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s a great idea for breakfasts. This morning we had breakfast burritos. I used my homemade tortillas, scrambled eggs (with a little milk and gruyere), some leftover filling for beef and rice pastries, homemade sour cream, and salsa (we cheated and used commercial salsa).
Egg Gravy
Posted in breakfasts, cooking, recipes on May 10, 2007 | 2 Comments »
My daughter Hannah absolutely loves biscuits and gravy. Usually we (she likes to help) make sausage gravy, but sometimes we run out of sausage. When that happens we make egg gravy. My mother-in-law makes this and calls it “Eggs ala Golden Rod.” Here’s how I do it. 4-5 eggs 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose [...]
Grilling; Buns
Posted in baking, bread, cooking, grilling, recipes on April 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The grilling season has begun! (Actually I’ve been grilling for a couple weeks now.) I like to grill pretty nearly everything. One of our favorite grilled vegetables is broccoli with butter, salt, and pepper (various squashes are also quite good). We also like grilled potatoes. Grilled corn on the cob is wonderful. This is my [...]

I’ve been using The Cook’s Thesaurus for a few months now. It’s a very handy site. Check it out.
Colorful Meal
Posted in cooking, recipes on April 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I made this colorful meal today for my kids and I (Shari was gone for the day). I was intending to make rice, but got back late and didn’t want to wait to cook it, so I dug up some potatoes. I only had two small potatoes, but noticed there was a sweet potato so [...]
Macaroni and Cheese
Posted in cooking, recipes on March 17, 2007 | 3 Comments »
The cupboards and refrigerator were getting low and I didn’t have anything planned. I was just an inch away from throwing up my hands and taking the kids out to eat (Shari was out of town). But I thought I would give a quick look at my favorite recipe site, harvesteating.com. I came across a [...]
Meatballs
Posted in cooking, recipes on March 16, 2007 | 2 Comments »
This recipe was an accident. I usually make meatballs from the Betty Crocker cookbook. This time I made a few minor tweaks (the addition of some spices and herbs) and then made a rather nice blunder. I left out the egg. The whole family liked these better than the meatballs with eggs. 1lb ground beef [...]
Beef and Brocolli

This is my own recipe based on my experience cooking several Chinese dishes from various cookbooks. 1lb thinly sliced beef (I used sirloin) 2 sprigs of fresh broccoli (including the stems) 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger 4 cloves of garlic minced peanut oil Marinade: 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder 2 tablespoons [...]
Canned Tomatoes
Posted in cooking on February 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I recently started making my own tomato sauce for spaghetti. I came across a terrific tomato sauce recipe from Harvest Eating (which, by the way, is a terrific site). In the video recipe, chef Keith Snow says to use only San Marzano tomatoes or you’re wasting your time. I was able to find a can [...]

Beef and Barley Soup
Posted in cooking, recipes on January 11, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Beef and Barley soup is a family favorite. Shari inherited this recipe from her mother. My mother-in-law couldn’t remember where she got it. I have made a few minor tweaks. 1lb beef 2T unbleached flour 4T hulled barley (not pearled) 1 quart stock (preferably beef, but I use whatever is on hand) 1 can diced [...]
Posole
Posted in cooking, recipes on January 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I recently bought 10lbs of posole and was looking for something cool to make with it. I’ve already made blender corn bread with red posole, but I wanted to try a more traditional dish. My first traditional dish is actually named after the main ingredient and is called posole. I looked at a number of [...]
Winter Root Soup
Posted in cooking on December 6, 2006 | 1 Comment »
I made Winter Root Soup from Nourishing Traditions on Sunday. One reason was so I could try out my new immersion blender. I recently acquired a Cuisinart Smartstick blender. I quite liked the soup. It’s hard to describe the taste (other than really rooty), but seemed like somewhere between brocolli and cheese soup (with the [...]
Duck Soup
Posted in cooking on December 5, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I fear I’m in duck soup. I made Kerryann Foster‘s Moroccan chicken tonight. The main difference was that I used a duck instead of a chicken. Personally I thought it was delicious. The look on my wife’s face when she found out we were sitting down to duck did not make me feel warm and [...]
