Side gluten free, Leftovers, Thanksgiving

Hmm, that picture doesn't look so good. Almost seems like the potatoes aren't in focus. That's because they're not. The focus that is. They're just a side dish. You'll see the rest of that picture tomorrow when I show the entree the potatoes went with. The idea for this recipe actually came from a comment on the Parmesan peppercorn potatoes recipe I did recently. April suggested that these would make great mashed potatoes. I thought that sounded like a fine idea. … [Read more...]

Super Simple Apple Crisp

Dessert gluten free

My daughter has been trying for weeks to make me something to eat. Which is really cool, especially considering the other thing she keeps doing is making books. Hmm, cooking and writing books ... who else do I know who cooks and writes books? So yeah, it's really sweet. Except she doesn't know how to make anything yet. So I get a piece of lettuce with salt and pepper -- a lot of pepper -- topped with pieces of Fruit Roll-up. Yum, salad. I finally decided if she's going to making stuff I … [Read more...]

Are you sure you want your kids to finish those nuggets (with ketchup) before they're allowed to have ice cream? There are exceptions. One of the few … [Read more...]

A couple of weeks ago when I made garlic salt I said that I might make up a jar, with some pepper in it, to take on vacation. Well, it's coming up, so I did grill seasoning. … [Read more...]

Roasted Parmesan Peppercorn Potatoes

August 5, 2008 (Updated March 24, 2014) by Drew Kime

Side Cheese, gluten free, recipe card

I tend to suffer from kid-in-the-candy-store syndrome when it's time to plan a menu. When I'm just sitting there thinking about what I'd like to have, I don't even know where to start. Sometimes it helps to just go to the market and see what looks good. "Ooh, nice looking red peppers, what can I do with those?" But they tend to always have the same things in stock. (Hopefully this will change as we start seeing more local, in-season produce.) But what really clarifies my thinking is … [Read more...]
