I’m still not sure what prompted me to try pairing shrimp with chorizo. (It’s Mexican style chorizo, by the way, not Spanish.) I’m so glad I did, though, because it was delicious! There’s something about the heartiness of the sausage that’s a perfect complement to the lightness of the shrimp. Each holds the seasoning a…

Let’s Go, Orange! Sheet Pan Supper
Clap clap clapclapclap! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. My husband & chief taste tester came up with the name for this delicious sheet pan supper. Can you tell we’re both Syracuse fans? I was out in the garden earlier, doing a little clean-up. I’m amazed at how much is still out there, considering it’s October. I decided…
Chorizo-Stuffed Jalapeños
My garden is bursting with jalapeños. I didn’t realize just how many until I cleaned out the spent cherry tomato vines. There were loads of jalapeños hiding under there! Many of them had ripened to a beautiful red. They’re really fiery, hotter than their less ripe green neighbors. I think the flavor is better & a little smoother…
Warm September Farro Salad
Don’t you just love September? Here in Upstate NY, the garden bursts with beautiful tomatoes, beans, herbs, and more, and the local orchards have early apples. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day on the first day of Fall when I made this hearty salad. What fun to combine everything September in a bowl! It’s pretty warm…
Fresh Pumpkin Pie
I’m just a hobbyist cook. But I do know there’s one thing I do better than some professional chefs, and that’s pumpkin pie. How do I know this? Because a few years ago, a local reporter interviewed chefs for an article on pumpkin pie. All the chefs used canned pumpkin. All of them. Now I ask you, have…
Single Pie Crust
Flaky? Who, me? Butter? Shortening? A combination? It seems every pie baker has a strong opinion about pie crust. For me, it’s all about the flaky texture – which means shortening. I flirted for a while with butter & combination crusts, which do win hands down on flavor, but I keep coming back to the flakiness you…
Radish Salad With Summer Squash
It’s raining radishes! They make a perfect base for this summer salad. It’s got a great complement of crunchy, sweet, and snappy, a perfect side for Black & Bleu burgers from Primal (seriously, if you’re in the 518, pick up a couple of these delicious burgers. Cracked pepper seasoning around the outside, bleu cheese incorporated into the burger. Perfection!)…
Bicentennial Pork Tenderloin
One of my favorite go-to recipes when I’ve no energy to cook, or more important things to do. So fast, so simple, so delicious – it’s even fit for company! And because it’s grilled, no clean-up. Many thanks to Penzeys for inventing this great rub. You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe at the bottom of this page. Ingredients:…
