October 27, 2008

After making chicken pot pie last week, I had some leftover pie crust. The thing about tender, flaky pie crust is that you shouldn’t touch it. Don’t mess with it too much, or it gets tough. Tough pie crust is not tasty pie crust. And “not tasty” pie crust is just plain not worth it! So, instead of messing [...]

A quick tip for making pretty cinnamon rolls: don’t slice them, floss them! Using unflavored waxed dental floss, slide the floss under the rolls. Bring the ends of the floss up, cross and pull.

Stretchy Taco Meat

October 6, 2008

Roast Beef Redos

September 22, 2008

A friend once commented that she doesn’t like to make roast because “we end up eating it all week and it gets dry and we get sick of it and I have to throw it out.” Ouch! I don’t do wasting food, but if I tried to reheat and eat the same roast all week, in [...]
