Extra! Extra! Savory Apple Recipes. As promised in Friday’s In The Kitchen column for the Packet, here are a few extra recipes direct from local chefs. First of all, mea culpa, I failed to include my very first chef response, from Jonathan White at Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse, who reported, “When we roast a pig in … Continue reading

Two months of Best Bites
I’ve been terrible about posting, and have missed even my regular Best Bites and Recipe of the Month lately. Maybe it’s our troubling political scene, maybe it’s having only one print deadline a month now, but I’m running out of steam when it comes to food writing although my interest in how we shop, cook, … Continue reading
Recipe of the Month-Lamb Riblets (okay, last month)
Recipe of the Month-Lamb Riblets (okay, last month). I am finding it so hard to write about food with all of the worrisome things going on in the U.S. lately. But I persevere because, hey, a girl’s gotta eat, and keep up her strength (ha) for the revolution! So, here’s what I made for a … Continue reading
March Best Bites
March Best Bites March was cooler than usual, which meant I could still enjoy my favorite wintry dishes. I started the month with the eye round roast pictured below, a recipe I used in my March In The Kitchen column in the Packet (recipe in link). It was a smashing success, and I enjoyed the roast … Continue reading
February’s Best Bites
February’s Best Bites Once a year, I get to use the brevity of February as my excuse for a late posting of Best Bites (and Recipe of the Month, which I just posted). Then it’s back to “no good reason at all.” So, for February, a month short on days but long on good tastes, … Continue reading
February Recipe of the Month – Ranch Wings
February Recipe of the Month – Ranch Wings It’s been almost five years since I “discovered” and posted about oven-baked chicken wings. Once I tried those, I never went back to frying which was so much messier. I used to just season my wings with salt and pepper, but that’s changed too. In 2012, I … Continue reading
January Best Bites
January Best Bites I enjoyed lots of tasty treats in January, including a highly successful first time using a waffle maker. But I didn’t make batter, instead I dipped stale-ish panettone in an eggy French toast/milk mixture and plopped it on there to make Panettone French Toast. That was incredibly good! I was also quite … Continue reading
January Recipe Of the Month – Roast Pork Belly
January Recipe of the Month – Roast Pork Belly. While I’ve long since jumped on the pork belly worshiping bandwagon, I only buy it two or three times a year. And I am hooked on the very simple preparation here, which results in maximum flavor for minimal effort. It’s so rich that a little goes … Continue reading
December’s Best Bites
Ah, December, the most celebratory and calorie-laden month of the year! Here’s mine, culinarily speaking, from quiche to sausage to turkey (twice!) to rib roast, and a reckless splurge on the complete (to date) series of Short Stack Editions. Fish & Chips at Main Street (review here). Christmas Day dinner with friends at Shanghai Park, which … Continue reading
November is the cruelest month
November is the cruelest month Yes, I know the cruelest month is supposed to be April, but for me it’s November, the month of the time change that plunges us into early darkness. That really cramps my style since I’m not a morning person and not fond of going out when it’s already dark, especially … Continue reading
