chocolate pizza
One nice thing about being out of work is I have lots more time to experiment in the kitchen. A few days ago I made “two-ingredient dough” for the first time. I made two batches, enough to make homemade bagels one day, with lots left over for another day. Today was that other day, and… Continue reading chocolate pizza
my first bun bo hue
I made bun bo hue. It was delicious.
mile high composting and voting
Since this past spring, I’ve been working to arrange composting at my condominium complex. And this week it starts to pay off. Denver Compost Collective is an organization that collects food waste from apartment dwellers and takes it to their large scale composting facility. Then they give the resulting “black gold” to a local urban… Continue reading mile high composting and voting
muffin tin omelets
When I have time, some weekends I make muffin tin omelets, also sometimes called no-crust quiche. It makes it easy for me to have a high protein, low carb breakfast throughout the week. In the past, I’ve used a fairly shallow muffin tin. But that makes muffin tin omelets that aren’t quite enough to satisfy… Continue reading muffin tin omelets

So when I got an Instant Pot for Christmas, I decided to try to use it to make pork green chile. The… Continue reading Todd’s Instant Pot pork green chile, attempt #1
Todd’s cranberry ginger relish recipe
Todd’s Cranberry Ginger Relish Recipe This started as a recipe I found online and made for Thanksgiving sometime around 2000, and I’ve made it several times since then, slightly simplifying and improving it along the way. It’s fresh, vegan, gluten-free, and tasty. It requires no cooking, unlike Martha Stewart’s similar recipe. Ingredients Cranberries Buy one 12-ounce… Continue reading Todd’s cranberry ginger relish recipe
Todd’s makeshift mocha latte recipe
It’s been a while since I posted a recipe. Well, actually, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. But it’s time for a recipe. I like coffee. And I occasionally like chocolate. But I prefer good coffee and dark chocolate. Also, I don’t have an espresso machine at home, so I can’t make… Continue reading Todd’s makeshift mocha latte recipe
