About

Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes. Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid. My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows. Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability! I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner! Besides cooking, gardening and photography, I also like to sew. Here are some items from my Etsy Shop:

Six Way Chili This is the best! I love home made chili. I make it slightly Cincinnati style with the addition of cinnamon. You can leave the cinnamon out if you like. The title “6 way” is a Cincinnatti thing as well.  It refers to serving 1) chili 2) over spaghetti, 3) with cheese, 4) additional kidney beans ( I add mine into the chili itself) 5) chopped onions garnish and 6) sour cream. Here’s how to make 6 way chili: Heat olive oil in heavy bottomed large pot over medium-high heat. Sear ground beef or ground turkey,  until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain off the fat. (Substitute morningstar crumbles or just skip this step for vegetarian chili.) Set the cooked meat aside and add 1 chopped onion to the pot along with 2 chopped carrots, 3 stalks chopped celery and 1 chopped red bell pepper. Cook the veggies until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add chopped 1 minced jalapeño and 4 smashed garlic cloves. Stir for a minute.  Add the cooked beef back to the pot, along with 1 tsp (or more to taste) chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, salt and pepper and 1 tsp smoked or sweet paprika. You can also add a little bit of cayenne or hot sauce if you like your chili very spicy. I keep the whole pot somewhat neutral for parties and then let everybody spice it up individually with hot sauce or cayenne. Mix in 1 can chopped tomatoes with juices, 1 large can of tomato sauce or blended whole peeled tomatoes, 1 can kidney beans rinsed and drained, 1 can black beans rinsed and drained, and 1 bottle of beer (optional) Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 45 minutes.    Serve over cooked spaghetti with grated cheese, chopped sweet onions, chopped jalapeño, fresh chopped cilantro and sour cream or plain yogurt. Yummy!
