Corn Pudding

March 11, 2010

Corn pudding was not something we ate growing up. I think it is one of those southern or regional type foods. I don’t think I had ever heard of it until moving to Oklahoma.
I recently made it for the first time and my family loved it.  We had eaten it before when a friend made it, [...]

Roasted Cauliflower

March 9, 2010

Several years ago I discovered roasting vegetables. I had no idea how much flavor just roasting would give vegetables. I did not realize how much difference a simple thing, like cooking at a very high heat, would make for vegetables.
I now roast carrots, asparagus, and even things like green beans. A lot of times I [...]

Crispy Roasted French Fries

February 3, 2010

I love potatoes. Seriously, I love to just eat a baked potato for dinner. I don’t think I have ever had a potato dish that I did not like. Maybe my love of potatoes has something to do with growing up in the northwest. That part of the country is potato country after all.
Any guesses [...]

Southwestern Slow Cooked Hominy

January 4, 2010

Before I was married I had no clue what hominy was. Yes, I knew it was some sort of food, but besides that, I was clueless about it. I think growing up in the 1970’s and 80’s in Oregon might have something to do with that. Oregon is pretty culturally diverse when it comes to food, [...]

Glazed Oven Roasted Carrots

December 19, 2009

I am not a big fan of cooked carrots. Even as a child I did not like cooked carrots. I love the taste of carrots, but cooked carrots have a mushy odd texture that I have never been a fan of. That is until I tried oven roasted carrots.
Roasting vegetables at a high oven temperature [...]
