Homemade Hot Dog (or Hamburger) Buns
I have been experimenting more and more with making homemade seitan sausages and hot dogs… So I thought, why not homemade hot dog buns? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a crazy lady… or perhaps I am a crazy lady… … Continue reading
Spicy Citrus Fish Tacos with Creamy Avocado Sauce
I love tacos. Not overly decorated Americanized tacos covered with mass piles of sour cream, cheese, unflavored shredded lettuce and globs of guacamole. That’s not a taco. I like homemade corn tortillas (although you can find decent, authentic corn tortillas … Continue reading

I shall confess that on the first day of this year, I absolutely ate a chicken fried steak smothered in sausage gravy, two over-easy eggs, and half a Belgian waffle for breakfast. Call it post-drinking (a.k.a. hangover) food. Call it… … Continue reading
Smoked Salmon Pizza with Lemon Dill Sauce
Happy New Year! As I was browsing through my blog feed-reader, I started seeing lots of salad recipes. It happens – I judge not. I completely understand the need for greens after the holidays. Usually, I’d partake. So far, that … Continue reading
