Smoked Fish

After our successful salmon fishing last weekend, my nephew, Jay, marinated and smoked some salmon filets in his electric smoker. Wonderful stuff! While I can sit right down with a plate of smoked salmon in front of me and be perfectly content, I sacrificed some for a dip. A dip with smoked salmon, cream cheese…

Maybe My Favorite Mix

This is a recipe I found around the internet when I was looking to copycat the Kentucky Kernel Flour which is what KFC basically uses for their coating. I wanted it low/no salt, so I switched out the salts for more powders and used tomato powder instead of the Lipton Soup Mix with a little…

Roasting Chestnuts

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire… Yeah, I don’t really know what that means. I am pretty sure chestnuts don’t grow in Arizona. They only show up once a year–during the holidays. If I don’t buy them early enough, they will be all weird and spoiled. It is like trying to buy “fresh fish” in…

Fuitcake Cookies

My MIL made the only thing I actually liked using the old fashioned citron fruit mix – a very soft cookie. Not a bar, just a regular cookie. Not particularly spicy, and more sponge cake like than a normal cookie. For some reason, the citron tasted good in this particular cookie. Other than in this...

Sweet Pickled Crab Apples

When I was a kid, my aunt used to can crab apples that I loved. Never thought to ask her for the recipe when she was alive, but a friend has a crab apple tree so loaded with crab apples, that some of the branches are touching the ground. When she told me that I...
