The Best BBQ Garnish
Tasty, easy, fast, and cheap! Plus, people seem to really enjoy it. I get requests for this recipe at just about every summer function with my family. It’s macque choux! (Pronounced mock shoe) My sister and I cooked at her house on the 4th of July, and other than heating up the kitchen a bit,…

Skillsets
Yep. Yep. Mmmhmm. Yeah. I’ve made cakes before. Delicious, moist, fluffy cakes. Sometimes with frosting, sometimes glaze, sometimes with just a dusting of powdered sugar. But I’ve never made a layer cake. And we all know that presentation isn’t my strong suit. I’ve always wanted to do it–try my hand at making things look as…

Catch Up
Hello! Oh my gosh, it’s been so long! You *look* fantastic! *I can’t really see you, but knowing you, I can assume. What have I been up to? Oh geez, where do I start? Well, we’ve been moving. And that’s seriously hectic. Have you ever moved? I swear things start appearing. Literally materializing out of…

Sweet and Spicy Tofu
I made a variation on my favorite tofu marinade. This one comes from Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point, and she’s not kidding when she calls it her Perfect Baked Tofu. In our house, we call it candy tofu, because it’s surprisingly sweet from the honey, but spicy enough for dinner. I started with honey and…

A Review of Helena
Ok, so not Helena, exactly. A review of a few places we visited when we were there recently. Generally, I’m pretty biased against Helena. Not that there’s anything wrong with it per se, I’m just so in love with Missoula that it’s hard for me to give Helena a fair shot. I grew up there,…
