My Daiquiri

This is a daiquiri worth drinking…

Even though I stumbled upon a bad bag (bright green and pretty, but dry batch) of limes, I was able to make a very tasty daiquiri with those limes. I nuked each one of my dry (but still fresh looking) limes for […]

Fried Egg And Vegetable Biryani

My favorite lunch of the week…

One White Oak Pastures egg makes this simple dish something special. Rich, savory, spicy rice blended with plenty of vegetables, that’s a rice dish I want to eat. Emphasis on rich, this could be slimmed down a bit by substituting low fat […]

Hand Cut Noodles In Spicy Sauce

Five minutes here, a few minutes there…

It’s surprisingly easy to make your own noodles. Less than 5 minutes to knead the dough, a brief rest, then cut your dough into strips or shape the dough into the noodle of your choice. No effort is required to let […]

Honey Syrup

Honey syrup…

It’s not just for cocktails. You could use this to sweeten tea. Drizzle it over a buttered biscuit or bowl of oatmeal. I like it over a small bowl of yogurt topped with granola clusters and nuts. And, I’ll be testing it out in several recipes […]
