Mad for Maple

November 12, 2010

It’s my 45th birthday today (how did that happen?!) and I’m trying to decide what dessert I want to have. Everything I keep coming up with seems to have maple syrup involved, I fear.

Yankee Pecan Pie

October 27, 2010

Last year, I traded some maple syrup for some pecans, and decided to try for a pie that used both ingredients. I substituted maple syrup for corn syrup, and doubled the number of eggs usually used. It’s almost like a custard with pecans on top, very light compared to most pecan pies. I really like [...]

Slow Food, Mack Hill Farm Style

September 24, 2010

I’ve been getting all the food ready for tomorrow’s Slow Food “Dig In”. I’m feeling like I want almost everything to come right from the farm, which is just a little bit of pressure! Here’s my menu: There’s a beef brisket in the smoker, with apple wood, already started. I’ll shred that tomorrow, mix with [...]

Green Enchilada Sauce

September 21, 2010

I’m from El Paso, Texas. Enchiladas were a weekly staple, and while I like both red and green, I confess to liking green a whole lot more. I like red enchiladas for breakfast, mostly, with a runny egg on top, but I digress. Up here in NH, getting decent enchilada sauce is damn near impossible. [...]
