shortcuts: wonton ravioli
April 12th, 2013
Remember my “shortcuts” series? You know, the one where I was going to post recipes using pre-made ingredients – like puff pastry, or pre-rolled pie crusts? Me neither. That’s because I did exactly one post on the subject – almost two years ago. Oops. I have no idea why I never kept up with this [...]
dairy free: hummus and (homemade) pita chips
January 27th, 2013
I’m in the home stretch of my dairy-free month and am actually quite enjoying it! I’ll save my thoughts on it all for the end of the month but for now, another great recipe… I don’t know about you, but the “witching hour” does not apply to kids only. At around four or five o’clock [...]

shortcuts: wonton wrappers
July 9th, 2011
Pre-rolled pie crusts. Cake mix. Frozen puff pastry. Although I pride myself on being a “from scratch” cook and baker, there are times where taking a short cut – using a pre-made or packaged ingredient - can be just the ticket. Here and in future posts, I’d like to share some of my favorite recipes that feature these [...]
