Ok so I don’t necessarily want this to become all fermenting all the time but but it’s what I’ve been playing with and believe me now that we’re all moved and settling back into life I have a lot of goofy things I want to try. Like last week’s post I tried the lacto-fermentation techniqueContinue reading “Fermented Mushrooms – Triple Threat of Flavor Enhancing”

Rabbit in Mustard Sauce (ou en Francais, Lapin à la Moutarde)
Wednesday nights are reserved as date night for Cheryl and me. Most of the time we go out for dinner but occasionally she lets me cook a ‘fancy’ mid-week one for her. The whole point is to spend some quiet time together while trying something new. I’m pretty sure the idea for rabbit came upContinue reading “Rabbit in Mustard Sauce (ou en Francais, Lapin à la Moutarde)”
Creamy Polenta and Mushrooms

Mushroom and Carrot Risotto
Ah risotto. Siiiiiiiigggghhhhh. I’d say this is one of those dishes every budding home chef ate at a restaurant or saw Mario make on tv and said to themselves “I have to learn how to make this!” Risotto’s not quite the Holy Grail of home cookery but I’d say it’s one of the top adventuresContinue reading “Mushroom and Carrot Risotto”
The Best Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe!
Every Thanksgiving the one thing I look forward to most is the stuffing. I really could care less about the turkey. For me that is the vessel by which you cook the stuffing. This is the stuffing my Grandmother (on my father’s side) made and we used to have it every year. It was oneContinue reading “The Best Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe!”
