This dish, with all it’s fresh chilies and the tomatillos is an absolute delight for any cool summer day. With just the right amount of heat, and topped with creamy avocado, you surely cannot go wrong! Now for personal flair I highly suggest picking your favorite garnishes from the list below. If you have guests, […]

This dish is incredibly fresh and delicious and truly authentic Mexican. Be sure to provide a variety of the condiments for your guests to top their soup. Looking like it will be too spicy? Don’t worry about all those chilies. Other than your fingers when you seed them, the anaheim, poblano, and yellow chili peppers […]

So it took me forever to track down decent translations of the Thai words ต้มข่า, tôm khàa, or ‘boiled/soup galangal’. You see you don’t ever see them alone. It’s always ต้มข่าไก่, tôm khàa kài, ‘galangal soup with chicken.’ But I don’t want ‘with chicken’! What I wanted to make available was a vegetarian Thai coconut […]

This soup is so sweet and totally nutritious! There is very little prep-time involved so it’s a perfect meal for a busy day, when you need to be able to walk away from the kitchen for a little while. Adding toasted coconut really brings this soup up a notch. I highly suggest it! By adding […]

*It doesn’t have to be Moose. Any red meat and especially pot roast works great.* I knew my mom was coming for a night, and we always enjoy cooking new things together. When I found lamb shank on sale I made plans to cook ossobuco, as she has talked so fondly of it over the […]

The other day I took the daycare friends to our ‘climbing tree.’ Just naming it that gives this poor, fallen, barkless, excuse of a tree some dignity. In reality it is just an average size, dead tree clinging for dear life unto the crook of another tree. But for 3 and 4 year-olds? It is […]

I was working on a sauce to use with some canned moose meat a little while back, (something that might work well with left over pot-roast or such) and created this really tasty sauce. Although it was great with the meat I decided to go a different way with that recipe, ending up with a […]

This recipe was inspired by a can of ‘meat’ I was given. ‘Meat?’ you say. Yes, a quart jar simply labeled ‘meat.’ Now there is an explanation for this. My mother loves to can foods; jelly, vegetables, fruit, fish… and last year they decided to can some moose. It turned out GREAT! So why label […]

A little while back Andrew and I held Dueling Duleys “Barbeque Soup.” I was troubled having to narrow down the many styles of barbeque in order to enter a single recipe. In the end I decided to make two soup ideas but found that this recipe was a little less barbeque and a little more […]
