Spicy Cheddar Lamb Burger

I am not a huge burger girl. It’s not that I don’t like them, but if given the choice I’ll choose the things that I like even more instead, like grilled chicken, steak, fish, bratwurst, etc. There is one exception—if a burger contains ground lamb then I am all in. I love lamb. So when I […]

Father’s Day came and went during my long forced posting drought, which is a bummer, because I shared a recipe for a Balinese-inspired Steak Satay with a Spicy California Avocado Dipping Sauce for Father’s Day. Luckily steak never goes out of style and we’re still in the middle of avocado season, so you can still […]

I’m a member of the Kerrygold blogger program, and recently received a box of goodies to cook with. Each month they give us a challenge, and the most recent challenge was to “Bring the Taste of Ireland to Your Kitchen.” I went back and forth on what I wanted to do, then settled on a […]

What could be better than a weekend celebrating chocolate and cheese? This past weekend there was a 2 day long Chocolate & Cheese Festival at the Natural History Museum of Utah. The festival featured some of the best local producers of cheese and chocolate, as well as some out-of-town guests, with demos, workshops, tastings, and other […]

This post is brought to you by Harmons Grocery. I know, I know, you’re thinking “Gluten free slow cooker pot roast? Rachael, isn’t a pot roast naturally gluten free?” Well yes, and no. It depends on how you make it! If you make your own homemade beef stock without any added thickeners and you don’t […]

I love dishes that combine lots of little bits of everything. I get this love from my dad, whose style of cooking is to go into the kitchen and grab whatever he can find to create something to eat, whether it’s a sandwich, a salad, or what he calls “potage.” I recently received a “Fall Harvest […]

When you say hamburger here in the US, the image conjured to mind is a meat patty, usually cooked on a grill, served inside a bun, sometimes with a variety of condiments or toppings. When you say hamburger in Japan (ハンバーグ–“hambagu”), the image conjuired to mind is much different—a meat patty that is like a […]

With it being Bastille Day today (the day that commemorates the beginning of the French revolution on the 14th of July in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille), I am utterly nostalgic, thinking of my time spent living in Paris as a college student. Last week I read The Belly of Paris, written in […]

I am not a huge meat eater, with one exception—there is a huge pig-shaped spot in my heart—I love pork. Thankfully (unfortunately?) my friend Noriko understands. Last month we spent Spring Break in Japan, staying at Noriko’s house. Our kids had a blast spending every waking moment together, and are still bemoaning the fact that […]

Hatch chile season (August through September) makes me ridiculously happy, and the Hatch chile recipe that I’m sharing with you today just makes me plain giddy. (If you’re looking for Hatch chiles, Frieda’s sells them at Ralph’s grocery stores.) I am a total chile head, and Hatch chiles are one of my all-time favorites because […]
