Roasted Fennel with Pancetta and Rosemary
I was in Italian mood this week and had to harvest a fennel bulb from the garden. I say “had to” because this fennel bulb and its assorted delicate green fronds were the size of a VW bug. Honestly, I’ve never seen a fennel bulb this big before. This one measured nine inches across and about four inches thick. I was actually getting worried that much like a huge catfish it would become too tough to eat if I left it any longer so it was time for picking. ...continue reading about Roasted Fennel with Pancetta and Rosemary...
Roasted Vine Tomatoes
With summer approaching there is a variety of fresh vegetables coming from local gardens and markets. Like the Garlic and Rosemary Asparagus recipe, spring and summer cooking means simpler cooking techniques and a minimum amount of oven heat to fill already heated kitchens. This is a simple and very attractive preparation of vine tomatoes that only requires three ingredients. The better these three ingredients, the better the final dish. This would also pair nicely with the Spinach Feta Pasta dish I did early this week. ...continue reading about Roasted Vine Tomatoes...
Spinach Feta Pasta
I came back to Austin and my garden is exploding! I have a fennel plant with a bulb about half the size of a soccer ball, broccoli starting to show signs of, well, broccoli, five foot tall sunflowers, and an abundance of spinach. Organic spinach fresh from a garden is very different from what I’ve bought in the store. It almost has a slightly sweet flavor I’ve not noticed before. ...continue reading about Spinach Feta Pasta...
Blueberry Scones
I got more than most. While most bouts with fame last 15 minutes, mine endured through several repeat performances and managed to replace a live broadcast of the Master’s tournament in a bar in Kansas. That’s how you know you’ve made the Big Show. While I’m sure the Kansas paparazzi are awaiting my return for their photo op, I’m relegated to making a command decision on what to do with these blueberries. There are many berries coming into season so I encourage you to hit up the farmer’s markets and buy local whenever possible. Just about any berry would make a nice substitute for these, but I love blueberries and if I have to bake I’m using what I want. ...continue reading about Blueberry Scones...
Buffalo Chili
This chili has beans. That was a disclaimer. Why? Because it’s against the law in Texas to make a chili containing beans. At least that’s what people in Texas want you to believe. Therefore, I’ve probably violated several local ordinances and likely will be pictured on several post office billboards throught the Lone Star state. Because I like beans, and I think you should too, I’ve put myself on the line and risked incarceration to show you the other side of chili. I’m also not going to argue about the spelling. Chile is a country. Chile is also the correct Spanish spelling for a pepper. Chilly means you are cold and need to eat chili or a chili pepper or get into a tub of hot water with a glass of red wine. Fight about it if you will, but I’m in enough trouble with law enforcement about the bean issue. ...continue reading about Buffalo Chili...

Spring Whole Wheat Pasta
The weather has been gorgeous and everyone seems to be out exploring all the places I want to go. The Wildflower center was packed and the Austin Botanical Garden didn’t have a parking place available. I opted instead to go to our local gardening shop. You see, I have a aphid problem. ...continue reading about Spring Whole Wheat Pasta...
Mini Roasted Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Pie
I’ve been busy pimping my food photography on Flickr in order to drive traffic to our site. There are also a ton of others with incredible skills in photographing food. I wanted to highlight one of those people today who not only is a foodie, but also someone that is an incredible photographer. Her name is Leslie (not my Leslie), but another Leslie that is a frequent contributor on Flickr. ...continue reading about Mini Roasted Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Pie...
