Main Dishes

Homemade Pad Thai

November 17, 2020

Sometimes it is really nice to switch up the flavor profiles dramatically. It is worthwhile to have a favorite dish you can make that is well outside of your normal dinner. For us, we will occasionally eat out for dinner but that is seldom feasible with a toddler in tow. Pad Thai is a great dish that can break up any monotony.

Sometimes the best food is the most simple and familiar. Mixing in a very easy dinner into your weekly routine is a great idea.

Beans and Rice in a Pumpkin

October 20, 2020

Fall is a very special time of year for food. All of the hard work from spring and summer starts to pay off big time. The herbs and vegetables that were planted are harvested and preserved.

Garam Masala Curry

October 15, 2020

I absolutely love comfort food. Although I couldn’t possibly do it justice in one post, Indian food, and the many variations found within that ethnicity are a go to comfort food for me. Authentic recipes may differ slightly or significantly depending on region, you can still make your own version of wonderful Indian inspired food at home with ingredients that are readily available. Garam Masala, which means “hot (garam) mixture of spices (masala)”, is not unique to India, as it can be found in different variations throughout South Asia. It is however a mainstay in Indian cuisine and belongs high up on the list of great comfort foods and is surprisingly simple to make. I keep a Garam Masala blend on hand in an old Miron jar to use weekly.

Pumpkin Spice Tortellini

Making different pasta shapes is a very rewarding process. When attempting a new shape or making pasta for the first time, expect to make mistakes. For tortellini I use a higher hydration percentage with a little extra added water.
