From the blogger you know and love, a real, made-of-paper book that you can hold in your hands and keep under your pillow at night. Congratulations, Dana Shultz!
The design is quite minimalist, as one would expect. No frills or fancypants ideas here, which is refreshing. Just the everyday basics!
And what the heck did I make out of this book? Read on.
Asparagus Quiche
What’s for brunch? Why not asparagus quiche, is what I always say. This quiche was not super quichey, IMHO, but it was good! Light, savory, tangy, worth the effort of having a second helping. This recipe uses a small amount of hummus, and its flavor was pretty prominent when I made this recipe, which I didn’t expect. Once I moved on from the fact that it didn’t taste as expected, I really liked it. Perfect for mom on Mother’s Day or dad on Father’s Day or yourself on any day.
Spiced Buckwheat Pancakes
I was excited to try these out because the camp I went to as a kid served from-scratch buckwheat pancakes every Sunday, and they were the best! These were great too.
Burrito Bowl
I’m a sucker for a burrito bowl. I loved the green pepper in this one.
Taquitos
So easy and good that I made them twice in a few short weeks. The kind of recipe we all seek: A pantry item standard. An all-seasons dependable. A keeper. Mix up the middles, roll up the tortillas, throw in the oven, pop open a jar of the best salsa ever (Mrs. Renfro’s Roasted Garlic), and you’re all set! They make such a good lunch to take to work, especially with a few plops of creamy avocado to go with. Regrettably, I could not get a decent photo of them once I’d plopped on some watery salsa and settled some slices of lime in the sad little salsa pool. My apologies.
Looking forward to:
The “Cheddar” Beer Soup! Sounds pretty perfect for winter!
