These meatballs are awesome. They’re slightly sweet from the coriander and slightly spicy from the cayenne, and rounded out nicely with cinnamon and ginger and bay leaf. They’re very firm and hold together quite well. The sauce is thin as the meatballs are the stand-out part of this dish. We...
Ok, I know, this week has been a little heavy on the goat cheese. But it’s so good! This particular recipe was developed as an appetizer for a party where hand-held foods are a must. Since I typically do something very sweet and dessert-y I decided to make something savory...
A stand-up carrot cake recipe is always a good thing to have in one’s repertoire, in my opinion. This recipe is stand-up. It’s flavorful without being over-done.

I have always loved the dry and crumbly nature of an Irish Soda Bread. It’s barely sweet, fairly dry at the crust, moist near the center, and just plain lovely. Problem is that the way my family recipe read was not very healthy so I set out to re-make the...
Ladies and gentlemen: what kitch has for you today is another creation out of guest chef Neil’s kitchen. This started off as a vegetarian dish to which Neil added chicken for protein, but it could certainly swing back to veg in a heartbeat. He pulled off a cream sauce made...
For a cool and/or rainy day this is a fantastic stew which manages to be thick and creamy, but not heavy. The sour cream and Greek yogurt give this dish a delightful tang that keeps your mouth coming back for more. The stew comes together easily, and does not take...
I don’t know about you, but when I was young my Mom used to make chocolate chip cookie bars every once in a while and they were a thing of beauty. Thick, chewy, sweet, and addictive. The tops were kind of crunchy and if you had one while they were...
We’ve booked a trip to Costa Rica for next June- the green season. Can’t wait. Now to brush up on my Spanish…. J
