Wonderful Waffles
A hazard of the job of a recipe developer and culinary class instructor is that I am always trying new recipes. I am on the hunt for ways to simplify recipes for students and also ways to broaden their horizons. I want to find food that is yummy and also some recipes that may challenge…
Fresh Tomato Pasta Sauce
If you’re like me, about March you’re ready for some summer produce! Here is the perfect tomato sauce for the height of tomato season (late summer) when tomatoes are cheap, flavorful, and plentiful. Make sure a grown up does the grating of the tomato, unless you have a rotary grater or food mill like we…
Sheet Pan Peach Cobbler
I developed this recipe out of a need for a quicker, out of season peach cobbler for our Outstanding Orange course. We only have an hour and a half from start to finish, which can be tricky when baking with 10 student chefs. Often cobblers will have you bake it for 45 minutes to an…
Sheet Pan Fajitas
Having just come back from spring break in Texas visiting family, I still have Tex-Mex on the brain. I did my best to satiate the craving while there. My mom took us straight from the airport to our favorite Tex-Mex spot, where I ordered a cheese enchilada, crunchy chicken taco, queso, and refried beans. All…
Pasta Primavera
Spring is just hinting at itself here in Colorado. On my walks around the neighborhood I spy crocuses and snow drops. There is something entirely magical about snow drop flowers popping up when there is still snow on the ground. They are the harbingers of spring. This is something I only started to appreciate once…
Mini Quiche Lorraine
Quiche Lorraine is loved by my father. I never understood it until I made my own version. The creamy custard was wholly different from the tasteless, eggy things I had experienced thawed from the freezer at various gatherings over the years. Quiche had always been “fine”, but nothing to rave about. Then I made my…
Lemon Chicken and Rice
This was one of the first truly one pot meals that I fell in love with. It didn’t have any extra sneaky dishes. It packed a lot of flavor. I could make it in under 30 minutes if I really focused. Most importantly, my whole family loves it. The combination of brothy rice and lemony…
Classic French Carrot Salad
This carrot salad is everywhere in France. You can find carottes râpées at cafes, supermarkets, and little bistros. It goes with almost anything, but especially roast chicken or rice. I love that I can make a batch at the beginning of the week, and it just seems to get better as the week goes on….
Brilliant Blue Pasta with Cream Sauce
Every time I test this pasta, I go to take a taste, and end up eating the entire bowl right there over the counter. It is shockingly good. There is something about super fresh, hand made pasta dough covered in incredibly rich cream sauce that is irresistible to me. If you have a pasta attachment…
Brilliant Blueberry Smoothie
This gorgeous smoothie is a staple in my house! The color is a win for the kids, and the fiber is a win for me! I love that they can get such a burst of antioxidants from the load of blueberries that gets chucked in there, and the seeds give some great fats and fiber….
Sugar Cookie Fruit Tarts
I still have vivid memories of eating a fruit tart for the firsts time. My mom and I had traveled to the larger city near us for a soccer tournament, and we went out to eat at La Madeline with a few friends from the team. Because we were with other people, I was allowed…
