I know I’ve said it before, but pressure cookers are awesome. It blends the flavors together like a crock pot does, except a pressure cooker does it a lot faster. This chili was delicious. It really had that rich spicy taste that chili needs and it didn’t taste like a wimpy vegetarian version (some veggie chilies just taste like vegetable soup!) (more…)

This is my mom’s cornbread recipe (except she uses shortening instead of oil). I love cornbread. It’s great with soup, for breakfast, or as dessert with syrup over it. This recipe is not too sweet and has a solid texture. (more…)

Something like a peach is in season right now. It doesn’t look like a peach very much because it’s greenish on the outside and pale green on the inside. I think it’s just that no one lets them get at ripe as we would like them. It’s okay if you use them in baking though – they turn orange and taste peachy! I might even like them better than a normal peach in baking because they have a nice tartness to them like a green apples does. This galette was delicious, but I don’t have the proportion of crust to fruit right yet (too much crust). So I’m going to try this again with apples and then post the new and improved recipe!
