Apple Picking

John, Marc, Lauren and I went apple picking last Fall. I canned a bunch of apple sauce and we still had a ton left over. Thankfully apples keep forever!

Pizza Bianco

The first recipe came from Cook’s Illustrated – pizza – my favorite! I swapped one ingredient on the list; thyme instead of parsley. I love thyme. The lemon zest was so good and the crust was like focaccia bread. I will put lemon zest on nearly anything but this recipe actually called for it.

Amaranth Soufflé

Amaranth soufflé, olive loaf and sautéed kale with nutmeg. What is amaranth you ask, as did everyone I spoke to, it’s an ancient seed from the Incas and Aztecs. I found a sites online explaining the use of amaranth in ancient rituals where it was mixed with human blood and honey, shaped into gods, baked and eaten. When the Spanish came they outlawed amaranth and anyone caught with even one seed had his hands chopped off. um, okay. On the positive side it’s a nearly complete source of protein.
