PopCorners Memphis BBQ Flavor (5oz) Review
I’m already a fan of several PopCorners products including Kettle and Caramel. Memphis BBQ is one of four new flavors that are whole grain though not necessarily made of corn. Memphis BBQ is actually made from sorghum. Clearly targeting geometry fans, these chips are hexagonal. Now I feel like a sucker for eating all those […]

From buckwheat porridge to cream of rice halwa and now this Arrowhead Mills Quinoa Rice & Shine, the cup (or bowl) runneth over.

Curtido: Vinegar Coleslaw Recipe for Pupusas
The New Year’s Eve meal was a success with one exception. The texture for the pupusas, a thick cornmeal disk with bean filling was much trickier than expected. Mine ended up way too thick and doughy. This was probably the penalty for adding too much water. The accompanying vinegar coleslaw, known as curtido turned out […]
Happy New Year! (Updated with Hoppin John Link)
Happy New Year! Here’s to wishing that 2014 is your personal best. I started following the traditional Southern meal of Hoppin’ John last year. Since writing about it last year, I learned it’s more common to Tennessee and the Carolinas then elsewhere. It’s a delicious one pot meal featuring black-eyed peas, rice, the holy trinity […]
How to Loosen Brown Sugar
Brown sugar can harden like nothing else. But these tips from Lifehacker show that you don’t have to barbarically hack away at the sugar clump. First off, to avoid clumps in the future, store brown sugar in an airtight container. If the brown sugar is already hardened and it’s not necessary to cook something immediately, […]
Cranberry Chutney / Cranberry Relish Recipe
Unfortunately, it’s the end of cranberry season in North America. The good news is that they’re on sale at your grocery store so stock up now. (They hold up well frozen). Cranberries are the alpha dogs of berries. Whatever you add them to, they will be the hero adding brightness and acidity. When making this […]

Red Cabbage Salad Recipe
Red cabbage is one of the most beautiful looking crucifers in all of veggietalia (the land of veggies I just made up). Inspired by the Eastern European cabbage salad this version involves a liberal dose of red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic. It goes great with kielbasy and refried bean tacos. Modify the amount […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
This amazingly easy recipe for flourless peanut butter cookies comes from Tricia’s Things. It involves only a handful of ingredients that you already have (I’m just assuming. Please don’t think that I rifled through your pantry). I only made three changes – substituting flax egg, reducing the amount of sugar and baking for 15 minutes […]
Buckwheat Porridge with Cranberries
If buckwheat isn’t on your radar, it should be. It’s a great source of iron, fiber and is naturally gluten free. It’s sold as “cream of…” meaning broken finely or as whole grain. The biggest brand in the U.S is probably Wolff’s. It’s a grain popular in Russia where it’s known as kasha. This recipe […]
