My copies are finally here!!! 30 flavors in each book – a whole ice cream shop in 40 pages! It’s all stripped-down content with no fluff. Hard for a blogger to shut up, but I very intentionally did, so they’re sized like fat comic books rather than hefty texts. Hope you love them, too!

Braised and Glazed Carrots and Parsnips with Orange and Cardamom. What an amazingly flavorful and bright winter dish with gorgeous sweet warmth! The orange and cardamom make these so special. Holiday fabulous, lovely with any roast, and the perfect accompaniment to Swedish meatballs!
Milk Street Vegetables. I can’t get enough of this book. The New Year is here! Regardless of your thoughts on resolutions, I think we can agree that we all need more vegetables and hydration in our lives. I blogged all about the book last week a few weeks back with a gorgeous Tomato Tart with Olives and Gruyere recipe. And their Patatas Bravas recipe. These links will take you there if you missed them!

Patatas Bravas. I could write poetry to these. Super crispy exterior with a pillowy interior. The textures are potato dreams. And there’s a smoky paprika sauce and a garlic aioli for drizzling, dipping, and mopping that put these way over the top. I’ve only had the book for two weeks, and I’ve made them four times already. Not even kidding. Then I tried them with sweet potatoes and added 1 1/2 Tablespoons of brown sugar to the paprika. Just skip the aioli and Bravas sauce. Or don’t! Total BBQ heaven. Go make these. Hug me later!
What’s the book???? Milk Street Vegetables. If you want more vegetable happiness in life, go get this. Treat yo’self! The new year is right around the corner, and more produce is going to help with those health goals. Let’s do this! Grab a second copy to gift someone you think is awesome!

Milk Street’s done it again! They are always super flavorful while being as kitchen-efficient as possible. Milk Street Vegetables is delicious and off the beaten path. I found that while I played in the book, I was centering dinner around the produce and coming up with a little coordinating protein and fresh fruit. Fabulous! Yeah. Totally giftable!
I’ll tell you all about the book and the dishes we tried in a minute, but first I wanted to give you a recipe to try. Tomato tart with olives and Gruyere. The flavor is gorgeous and it’s a total looker. And as frosting on that glorious cake, it’s ridiculously easy and quick. Rich puff pastry with earthy tomatoes and onions, briny olives and capers, mustard for a sharp flavor pop, finished with herby fresh basil kisses. We loved everything about this and it’s truly Tuesday night easy. Hope you love it, too!
A huge thanks to the folks at Milk Street and Voracious for letting me share this and two more upcoming recipes with you!

Cutlets, scaloppine, schnitzel… Call it what you like, but every culture has a version of these with good reason – they’re awesome! If you’re not sure you love pork chops, here’s a great chance to fix that situation, or you could use chicken if you really want to. Just don’t skip the sauce. It’s wonderful. It’s like a lemony gravy. She suggests “loaded crash hots” (loaded little potatoes). Asparagus and green beans both play so nicely with that sauce, though…
One of my favorite things about Pioneer Woman’s books that you might not be aware of if you’re just grabbing her recipes online are the “Variations” and “Change It Up!” sections at the end. Once you’ve got the basic recipe down, you can transform it into several different dinners. Niiiice. I’m including those here so you can get a feel for them and have all the fun and yumminess!
I told you all about Pioneer Woman’s new book, THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS: SUPER EASY!, and shared recipes in my last couple posts. Missed them? Here you go! Thanks to William Morrow for letting me share them with you!

I love flipping through cookbooks with a fresh stack of post it notes. Pop my feet up in cozy socks, grab a blanket, turn on the fireplace. Yeah. Add a glass of wine for the ultimate “me time”.

This is the recipe that really stood out and made me want to stand up and run into the kitchen. It looks fabulous, and to my delight it totally delivers all the flavor I was hoping for! Sheet pan easy, flavorful, colorful, and filled with tons of produce and protein! Hope you love it, too! Go get you some oh-so-delicious “me time”! Thank you to William Morrow for letting me share it with you!

Ree Drummond has a new book out, THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS: SUPER EASY!, and it’s fantastic! I’ll show you my full review of the book with all the dishes I tried, but first, I wanted to share a recipe with you! I always thought I was making the Full English Breakfast with extra breakfast, but I was missing the baked beans and mushrooms <shudder>! How good is it? I had one jar of homemade strawberry rhubarb jam left, and I have no rhubarb to make more. It was totally worth it! It’s supposed to serve 4-5, but my husband and I shared half of it, when our 17 year old walked in and polished off the rest. She just smiled with her eyes closed in satisfaction, said, “Thanks! That was so good!”, and left. I felt bad when our older daughter walked in, but I understand. It’s breakfast pilfering good.
A huge thanks to William Morrow for letting me share it with you! And they said yes to two more upcoming recipes. Woohoo! I bet readers who’ve been following me for awhile will know just which ones I asked for. Hope you love it!

Continue reading “Summer beverage ready with Margaritaville and Yeti – and Jen’s frozen sangria!”The guy from Gvode asked if he could send me a meat grinder attachment for my stand mixer to try. My KitchenAid stopped rotating after about two years. Breville, Vitamix, Wusthof, and FoodSaver make things right if there’s a malfunction. KitchenAid walks away whistling like the cable companies used to. They are way too expensive to die that quickly. Not to mention landfills. Where are you going to go, though? It’s essential equipment. My injustice bells went off. So I took it apart and popped up a blogpost teaching how to change the gear, step by step, in case it happened to someone else. It’s one of my most popular posts, so I know it’s common. So will I test out a far cheaper off-brand attachment? Heck yes! The Gvode meat grinder functioned exactly the same as the pricey one and had more accessories. When I blogged about it, the manufacturer came on and commented on my post that he puts it on a sale price every other week on Amazon so my readers can watch for a discount. Class act. He sent a pasta roller and cutter, too. I’m testing that, too, because it can potentially save people money. So let’s make some pasta!
Instant Pot Miracle is a super neat Instant Pot book with a huge range of Instant Pot recipes. It’s pretty much one stop shopping. We loved everything we tried. Note that we found the salt measures really light, and generally doubled the salt. You can tailor the sauciness level afterwards by pulling out the meat or whatever and reduce the sauce to your perfect level using the saute button.
We loved the Mojo-Marinated Cuban-Style Pork, so I wanted to share that recipe with you. It marinates for a day before you make it, so be sure to budget the time. The flavors are spot on. Delicious! I served it with rice and sweet plantains.
