Sweet & Savory Carrot Salad

With what I thought was a bare pantry, I whipped up this quick and easy salad in about 5 minutes. Eaten immediately, it was perfect. After a few hours, as expected, a touch of the crunch disappears. But, it was still crispy enough to enjoy for days. Pink Lady apples […]

Pimento Cheese — Super Bowl 2016

Seriously, this was the best pimento cheese I’ve ever made. It’s all about finding the best cheddar. Or, more accurately, it’s about finding the cheddar that you consider to taste the best… to you. For us, the 5 year organic sharp white cheddar (From Your Dekalb Farmers Market) was the […]

Steak & Ale Pie

Top this with mashed potatoes and bread crumbs or pastry. Both […]
