If you’re anything like me then until now you’ve only ever had graham crackers from a box, off the grocery store shelf, and thought that they were fantastic (especially smeared with a little bit of peanut butter and maybe even a drizzle of honey). If that’s the truth, and you...
When I made the spicy coconut shrimp recently, I was in need of a side dish. Since the shrimp were being served on top of rice, I didn’t want a pasta side, and I couldn’t figure what veg what go perfectly, so I went in search of something that would...
Last week Kitchbitch had a guest chef, Neil. You see, I do the cooking about five nights each week. We go out to eat once or twice, and Neil cooks too. He selects his recipe, does the marketing for said dish(es) and prepares (generally on a Friday night since he...
