Herb Roasted Lamb and Vegetables
View recipe: Herb Roasted Lamb and VegetablesThis is essentially the Barefoot Contessa’s recipe…I just added some more vegetables, turned the heat down a little, and cooked a little longer. I had a couple of yams that were just this side of okay, so I sliced them up and threw them in there. They tasted good, but I probably wouldn’t do it…

Jeweled Carrot Salad with Apple and Pomegranate
View recipe: Jeweled Carrot Salad with Apple and PomegranateAhh! So many recipes backlogged, so I’m starting with the easiest and working back to the most intricate. This is the easiest by far.

How To Peel 15 Heads of Garlic in Five Minutes
View recipe: How To Peel 15 Heads of Garlic in Five MinutesI use a lot of garlic. I had about 15 heads that we’re sprouting and some threatening to go bad, but I was dreading peeling them.

Gluten Free Thanksgiving Dinner Rolls
View recipe: Gluten Free Thanksgiving Dinner RollsAfter many failed attempts at fluffy, soft dinner rolls that don’t turn into hockey pucks the next day, I finally stumbled upon this recipe. I tweaked it a little, since I’ve been weighing flours instead of measuring them when I make pastries and breads. YEAST MIXTURE 2 T dry active yeast 2 t sugar 2 c…

View recipe: Orange SalmonI’ve got about a weeks worth of backlogged recipes to post, and we’re having a cookapalooza (read it again. slowly.) tonight, so I’m just going to post my very favorites from the week, and will get around to the others next week. One day this past week, I wasn’t feeling up to cooking or doing…
