By happy chance, it turned out to be my mom’s birthday when Rebel and I set out to make our pies.
We experimented with this recipe a year ago when I first discovered delicata squash. It’s such a mild, delicious flavor, not bitter at all, and you can eat the skin. That makes it easier to prep and roast.
Our hope with these kitchen chats is for you to experience what it would be like to be a fly on the wall in our kitchen as we talk to one another about the food we make. Rebel: How should we start this? Lee: (Silence…eating lunch.) Do we want a sentence or two of intro, or do we just dive in?
I’m a scone nerd, always curious and sampling some when I spot them in a coffee shop or bakery case (even though the butter won’t agree with me), and I often bake them at home.
Our whole vibe is cooking together and offering recipes for gatherings. Every part of this is hard right now.
What is it about fresh-baked bread? Such a comfort food. The whole house smells amazing. Even better, focaccia bread is full of the pungent and fruity aroma of olive oil,…
Sometimes we surprise ourselves – or else it’s just that we miss certain dairy recipes so much that when we find a substitute it fills a pent-up craving.
When Rebel was little she discovered chocolate covered strawberries. We were out to dinner with my parents and Mom splurged. Rebecca thrilled at the fancy dessert — eye popping and no forks needed.
I can still remember when my mom found the bean pot recipe and passed it on to me. She was pretty excited about how easy it was to make and how great it tasted.
One thing that helps in the frantic holiday rush is to have side dish recipes that are simple, tasty and healthy. These roasted green beans will look great on your Christmas themed table or buffet.
With all the planning, effort and creative energy I put into Thanksgiving, my girls have suggested the last couple of years that I simplify the menu. The funny thing is, when I say ok, we’ll cut out these rolls or this type of pie, it always turns out that that’s somebody’s favorite.
What I love about Thanksgiving is friends and family gathered around one, big table laden with our favorite foods and always a few new dishes we’re trying out. Even better, I love the dessert buffet with its variety of pies, maybe a cake, fresh whipped cream, and some nondairy coconut cream.
