this photo does not do it justiceYesterday was our first snow day of the season and I am pretty darn satisfied with how I used my found time.

Coquette croquettes
If I were a superhero (I'm not one, I just play one in real life) my name would be Coquette Woman and one of my super powers would be my ability to make something from nothing, specifically something tasty from seemingly disparate leftover ingredients. Case in point: these breakfast potatoes. I was staring hard at a … Continue reading Coquette croquettes

I know there are folks out there who don't like risotto … Continue reading (Turkey) Risotto
