Welcome Back Salmon

I’ve been on a long hiatus, but like the salmon, I always come back. The past year has been an amazing. I went from one person to two and back to one. I had all of my priorities reorganized and got a crash course in babies. My son is now 4 1/2 months old. I keep staring atContinue reading “Welcome Back Salmon”

Brisket Insanity

So for all the recipes I try and food that I make at home, you would think that I’d done a brisket before. Nope. Not a single brisket had ever graced my freezer, refrigerator or oven…until today. Now all I can think about it how do I get me another one. I emailed my farmerContinue reading “Brisket Insanity”

Parmesan Crisps – You CAN Eat Just One!

Everyone should be making these yummy cheese crisps. I made them with parmesan (I bought it pre-shredded…shhh…) and they are beautiful and delicious. Since I used pre-shredded (that’s actual shredded parmesan, NOT the shelf-stable Krap Kraft pulverized stuff) it took me all of 15 minutes to make and that includes the time I spent savoringContinue reading “Parmesan Crisps – You CAN Eat Just One!”

Tomato Candy!

For my birthday I finally bought myself something I’d been kicking around for several years but couldn’t bring myself to lay out the cash. A dehydrator. More on that to come in another post, but the giant metal monstrosity arrived and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I looked around my kitchen like aContinue reading “Tomato Candy!”

KKF Travels: Anthony’s Pier 4 in Boston, MA

Last month Test Subject Bill and I traveled to Boston to catch a cruise ship to Bermuda. We spent the day before the cruise departed getting to know a little piece of Boston. We took water taxis from our hotel to various spots around the harbor, which was a lot more fun and about theContinue reading “KKF Travels: Anthony’s Pier 4 in Boston, MA”

KKF Eggplant: Unrolled!

Well, it happened again. I set out to follow a recipe and end up doing my own thing. I may never know how an original recipe actually tastes. Inspired by an Eggplant Roll recipe and this marinara recipe, I came up with the following Eggplant lasagna, or non- rollatini. Rolls would have been cool, butContinue reading “KKF Eggplant: Unrolled!”
