Okay... The traditional curd is lemon, however I had a recipe that called for lime curd and could not find it anywhere in any of our stores. I consulted with my sister and decided that this recipe would...

I am trying to incorporate more veggies into my meals. This is an easy way to do it. I like to serve it over baked spaghetti squash. You can easily omit the meat and make it vegetarian, or add some Hot...
When I was young it was a yearly sight to watch my grandmother grow veggies in her garden and then make this wonderfully fragrant relish. I never appreciated it's goodness until I got older. It is delicious...
I found this recipe online. I use it to substitute cream of mushroom, cream of chicken or cream of celery in recipes. Oftentimes, if the recipe calls for 2 cans I will use this to sub one of the cans therefore...

Amazing is what this is. It so light, and fluffy it literally melts as soon as you put it in your mouth. Almost like a foamier version of cotton candy. I can't rave enough about this. Its so simple, and...
I got into a pickling kick and wanted a really good recipe for cold pickling like Claussen. The spice you find in the stores is good, but if you have these ingredients, why not make it yourself. This can...
This recipe originally came from Barbecue! Bible Sauces, Rubs, And Marinades by Steven Raichlen. I tweaked it a bit and tried canning it. CAME OUT GREAT!!! It's a super easy one-pot recipe. It's my all...

I call this an Asian steak sauce, because I believe that it works so well with beef, and gives the steak a hint of Asian flavor. I played about with the ingredients until I achieved a good balance between...
If you don't like sweet buttercream then this is the one for you. It is not to sweet but very creamy and smooth. Add a hint of lime or orange or lemon zest and you have a perfectly balanced frosting!!
