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:

White Trash Party Meatballs We made party food yesterday to eat while watching the Oscars. My Dad makes these, so I started with his recipe and added a few things of my own. These were a huge hit. I’d double this recipe for a large crowd. We devoured every one of these. Meat covered with ketchup & sugar is good for you. I used a little onion soup mix in these to make them even more white trash. Sometimes you just need that salty oniony-ness found in a salty soup base.  Saute 1 small minced onion, 1 minced shallot, and 3 crushed garlic cloves on low heat with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb grass fed ground beef, 1 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 or 2 tblsp onion soup mix, a big pinch of parsley, a sprinkle of dried basil, a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce, and a grind of pepper, (you don’t need any extra salt if you add the onion soup mix.) Roll into balls. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Once they brown a little, dip them in a mixture of 1 cup ketchup, 1 tblsp light brown sugar, a couple dashes of hot sauce, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and return to the oven for 5-7 more minutes until caramelized. Yum!
