I love cheese and crackers. Especially with a glass of wine. But being keto, the cracker part of this equation has been challenging. I’ll sometimes use “crackers” made from fathead dough, but either they are soft like bread or if you want them crunchy they need to be dehydrated. I like to do a lotContinue reading “Keto Product Review: Flackers”

Corn Syrup Free Pee-Can Pie
Pecan pie is probably my all-time favorite pie. Unfortunately because this pie is almost always made with corn syrup I usually either forgo it or eat it and then feel bad about myself. But I have found a way to make my pie and eat it too. Pecan pie with no corn syrup. No GMOsContinue reading “Corn Syrup Free Pee-Can Pie”
KKF Chicken Peanut Noodles
One of my favorite things in the world is a good Asian peanut sauce. If you add noodles, it’s even better!

Pull out your big noodle bowlsContinue reading “KKF Chicken Peanut Noodles”
Your Zillion Kitchen Pets
When you think of living creatures in your house, you probably think about your pets, the occasional ant or bug, perhaps a spider or two. But you have many, many more than that.

Why You Should Ditch Iodized Salt
When I was a teenager I worked in the kitchen in a rest home. There was one old lady who told me the same story every time she saw me. It would always start the same way. “Where do you live?” Bertha asked. “Ridgeway,” I would say, knowing what was coming next. “I was inContinue reading “Why You Should Ditch Iodized Salt”
The KKF Bookshelf: How to Cook Everything
If I were stranded on a deserted island and could only have five cookbooks (er, deserted except for access to any and all ingredients, kitchen supplies and cooking implements) one book that would definitely be among them is How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. You may know Bittman as The Minimalist. He has aContinue reading “The KKF Bookshelf: How to Cook Everything”
Old Faithful vs. The New Hotness
The week before last I prattled on about my favorite kitchen gadgets. This week I thought I’d also thought I’d relate the story of one of my biggest gadget kung faux pas in recent years. I’ve had my trusty Cuisinart food processor for about ten years. I love it, and it’s just as powerful now asContinue reading “Old Faithful vs. The New Hotness”
Gadget Love Fest
I will freely admit that I’m a kitchen gadget junkie. My hero Alton Brown would be appalled at my kitchen, which is filled will all manner of unitaskers. However, some of them are so unbelievably handy that I think I could turn him to the dark side. Here are some of my favorites: The GarlicContinue reading “Gadget Love Fest”
KKF No-Fail Fish
I used to be afraid of fish. No, I don’t mean fish phobia. I mean I was afraid to cook it. I’m not sure what fostered this fear, but many home cooks have it. The best I could manage for a long time was pre-breaded fish sticks. Luckily, fantastic fish is only minutes away andContinue reading “KKF No-Fail Fish”
The KKF Bookshelf: The Flavor Bible
One of my favorite cookbooks is not a cookbook at all, but more of a handy manual guiding you on how to become your own hero in the kitchen. Ok, maybe not. Or why not…all depends on your definition of a hero. This amazing book is The Flavor Bible*. I was turned on to thisContinue reading “The KKF Bookshelf: The Flavor Bible”
