Smashed Potatoes

Smashed Potatoes

These are fun! Smashed, not mashed. Roughly smashing a baked or boiled potato and drizzling with a little olive oil. For crispy little bites, we like to heat them again on high heat after smashing but it’s not necessary.

Belgian Endive Salad

Belgian Endive Salad

Belgian Endive is a bit of an acquired taste. A little bitter, it is especially used in French inspired salads, for crudities, and braised or grilled. Use any nuts or seeds you have on hand or prefer.

Tajin Grilled Chicken Breasts

Tajin Grilled Chicken Breasts

Tajin Classico Seasoning from Mexico is really good on just about anything. We like it sprinkled on chicken breasts, or fruit and vegetables. It’s mild with some dried peppers, sea salt and dehydrated lime.

Horseradish Cream

Horseradish Cream

Horseradish has been cultivated since antiquity! It’s a perennial that stores in the freezer like ginger can be. Very strong freshly grated, we usually opt for the prepared jars! nearly always found near roast beef.
