Homemade Baked Beans
Baked beans is one of my favorite dishes. It always reminds me of my Grandma Ruth, who passed away last year. She made the best baked beans. This recipe is as close to hers as I could get.
Welsh Rabbit (Rarebit)
Welsh Rabbit, or Rarebit, as most people know it, is essentially a sort of open-faced grilled cheese sandwich. If you say “rabbit,” instead of rarebit, most people will correct you. Unless they are Welsh (like my step-father), or into etymology and know better.
Homemade Potato Chips
Did you know that potato chips can be a healthy snack or side dish? When fried in grass-fed beef tallow or lard from pastured pigs, potato chips are a great source of fat-soluble vitamins.
Sprouted Cornbread
I grew up in Texas, and I love Tex Mex more than any other food. Cornbread is a staple comfort food in Texas.
BBT: Bacon, Basil and Tomato Sandwich
This is a very basic, classic sandwich; perfect on a hot summer day. The twist — we’re using fresh basil instead of lettuce. So instead of a BLT, this is a BBT: Bacon, Basil and Tomato.
Caprese Salad
Caprese Salad, or Insalata Caprese in Italian, is a summer salad made with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. It is the perfect salad in summertime, with freshly harvested homegrown basil and tomatoes.
The recipe is from the island of Capri. It was invented in the 1950s at the Trattoria da Vincenzo.
Homemade Guacamole
Who doesn’t love guacamole? Especially in the summertime. It’s one of the most refreshing condiments. You can buy it at the store but it’s so much better when it’s freshly homemade.
