Staple Spices & Kitchen Herb Gardens

These are my go-to spices. I always make sure I have these on hand. Spices can lose strength and flavor over time. Unused portions should be replaced after about a year. I am usually refilling my jars many more times than that, with the exception of cayenne pepper for which a little goes a long way. I buy my spices in bulk from my local Co-Op. There are always people at the spice station filling…

Garlic Vinaigrette

Whip up this simple vinaigrette any time. No need to buy expensive bottled dressings containing sugar or other strange ingredients you don’t want or need.

I like to dress salads prior to serving them, instead of offering a dressing to pour over. It’s nice when all the ingredients are lightly coated rather than one bite full of dressing while others are dry. When you are choosing fresh…

I’ve been making hollandaise sauce this way since I was 16 years old. This recipe, which is rather common, was taught to me by the chef at The Columbia Gorge Hotel. Every other chef I’ve worked for scoffs at my way of making this classic French sauce.…

Spanikopita

This is one of my favorite things in the world. Is that weird? I LOVE spinach! And this spinach pie, packed full of flavor with 2 pounds of spinach, leeks, fresh dill and feta cheese, is SOOOOO good! Spinach is really a three season crop, grown in the spring, early summer and fall and even through winter in some places. You need quite a bit of fresh spinach—organic or spray free/non GMO is your…
