Cilantro Coconut Chutney Last week, my husband and I watched The Hundred-Foot Journey (Amazon), and since then I have been craving Indian food. Tikka and tandoori and curry. Bring it on. So it was perfect timing when my mom told me about this bright green chutney she had just made, after finding the original recipe in an Indian cookbook. I expected it to be slightly bitter, tasting like herbs and spices. Instead it's a blast of fresh flavors, cilantro and lemon and garlic. It's slightly sweet with a hint of cashew and coconut, with a little heat from the jalapeno. My husband and I stood over the plate, hoovering it into our mouths as fast as we Keep Reading
Cappuccino Chip Muffin recipe (with gluten-free variation)
Cappuccino Chip Muffins I fell in love with these Cappuccino Chip Muffins at first bite a few years ago. We were visiting family in Kansas, and my sister-in-law pulled bags of these baked treats out of the freezer. She warmed them up and served them with scrambled eggs for breakfast or grabbed them for a quick snack as we headed out the door. So delicious, they never lasted long. I copied the recipe and stuffed it in my bag for the trip home. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to share them with you. It has been bothering me for some time now. So without further ado I finally present, from the distant land of Kansas: Cappuccino Chip Keep Reading
Making artisan (yeast) bread from scratch
Artisan Bread 30 Days to... 5 Keys for... 7 Steps to... I've never been interested in gimmicky fads. So when Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking (Amazon) came along back in 2007, I didn't pay much attention.

Just think, this could be the year you finally conquer baking a loaf of yeast bread Keep Reading
Rice Bowls with Peanut Sauce and Chicken Satay recipe
Rice Bowls with Peanut Sauce and Chicken Satay This rice blow recipe features my all-time favorite Perfect Peanut Sauce recipe. I have tried several others in the past, but they either tasted too acidic or called for ingredients that required a separate trip to the grocery store as looking for obscure ingredients, with help from a well-meaning but confused clerk, is one of my least favorite activities. This sauce is creamy, peanuty perfection, and uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. I could eat it by the spoonful, which is why I usually double the recipe. The original recipe comes from lettuce wraps in Cooking Light's magazine Keep Reading

How to Soak and Cook Dried Beans
Beans are incredibly versatile and economical. My pantry is stocked with cans of beans I bought, and my freezer is stocked with bags of beans I cooked. If I can find quality canned beans on a good deal, I stock up. If I have the time but not the money, I cook my own. Once you see how easy it is to cook beans from scratch, it will give you one more way to stretch your grocery bucks as far as they can go. After all, thawing a bag of beans is every bit as easy as cranking open a can. Like I read on one online forum, "Beans in the freezer are like money in the bank." Now that's my kind of math. And the added bonus? Not only do you spend less money, but Keep Reading
