Jo-Jos ! gluten free, shiitake mushroom, crispy, baked potato wedges

2018/05/16 By Melinda Leave a Comment

close up of gluten free, shiitake mushroom, crispy oven baked Jo-Jos

Crispy potato wedges breaded with a flavorful mixture of mushroom salt and garbanzo flour then baked to crispy goodness. These Jo-Jos are flavorful enough to eat on their own but oh so addictive when served with ranch dressing (I’ve included my favorite quick and easy off the cuff Ranch dip in the recipe below) Jo-Jos […]

Potato Leek Soup Breakfast Bake with spicy bacon jam

2015/12/17 By Melinda Leave a Comment

  Like the time of year that birthed this recipe it is a jumble of comfort, decadence, spice, resolutions, and bacon. The creamy subtly earthy soup, the crispy cheese below, the melty cheese above, a peppery bite of arugula, a sweet salty swirl of bacon jam. Hello breakfast. Hello brunch. Hell no to boring leftovers. […]

spring greens waffle latkes

Spring Greens Waffle Latkes Peppery heat, three kinds of green and creamy potatoes crisped and creviced in the waffle iron. A variation on a theme. Delicious generously topped with a yogurt chive sauce, so delicious that I never quite got to trying these with an egg on top. Or to sharing. I ate them all and […]

Hash Brown Shiitake Eggs with fresh chives

2015/03/30 By Melinda 5 Comments

Crispy hash browns and buttery shiitake mushrooms layered with fresh chives for a burst of green and soft onion flavor. The eggs are cooked on top so that the whites sneak into the crevices and just begin to crisp. Add some hot sauce and arugula for a one pan meal that fills you up without […]

Beef-and-Potato-Hand-Pies-with-Arugula-Yogurt-Salad

Beef and Potato Hand Pies with Arugula Yogurt Salad Ground beef, mushrooms, potatoes. The heady scent of curry, soft subtly tangy pastry dough, peppery arugula, creamy yogurt, and the vinegar kick of spicy pickled vegetables. Comfort and zing. Beef not your thing? These would be just as tasty without the beef. Just up the mushrooms. I […]

Potato Tart with Balsamic Glazed Onion and Blue Cheese

2014/01/20 By Melinda 1 Comment

Tarts are one of my favorite things. Flakey buttery crust and what ever happens to be in season/in the fridge for filling. I don’t want to get into a debate about how to make the flakiest crust, okay, maybe I do- but I’m pretty entrenched, I’d need physical proof to convince me that there is […]
