Scratch Made Tartar Sauce
Scratch made Tartar Sauce starts with a super easy Homemade Mayonnaise recipe. Add sweet relish, horseradish, dill, chives, and yogurt and you’ve got tartar sauce! I know you can buy this stuff in the store for $2.39 but we’re here to Eat Up! It’s so much more gratifying to learn […]
Homemade Mayonnaise
If you’ve never prepared Homemade Mayonnaise at home before you’re really missing out. It’s such an easy recipe to make, takes under ten minutes, and can be made with ingredients you already have. For best results though, you’ll want to use an immersion blender instead of a whisk. Experiment with […]
Niçoise Salad
Salad Niçoise is best in Spring using fresh Farmers’ Market ingredients with the help of some high quality pantry items. This started as a recipe for an easy to prepare seasonal salad you can bring to a picnic, the beach, or even to the office. It’s evolved, though, into a […]
Bourbon Butter Pancakes
These Bourbon Butter Pancakes are a flavorful update to the classic dull pancake recipe. Use bourbon butter instead of regular butter and brown sugar instead of white sugar for a pancake that has notes of caramel. Also, Lemon Zest! I’m not a pancake lover. I think they’re flavorless and exist […]
Eggplant Parm
Fried planks of breaded Eggplant, fanned with melted mozzarella and topped with homemade tomato sauce. This is my favorite Eggplant Parm recipe. Fun fact – Eggplant is the original parm. Melanzane alla parmigiana or just parmigiana is what it’s called in Italy. Chicken and veal are American creations. From what […]

Paper Bags or Plastic Bags? (hint: neither)
Please check Further Reading at the bottom of the page for updated information on plastic recycling. I’m old enough to remember a world before the ubiquity of plastic bags. I’d wrapped each arm around a brown paper bag full of groceries then grabbed two more as I hauled them from […]

Homemade Strawberry Whipped Cream
You can make Strawberry Whipped Cream at home! If you’ve never made your own whipped cream, now’s the time to start. Sure, you could buy the stuff in the red can or the blue tub but what’s the fun in that? All you need is heavy cream, sugar, water, and […]
Asparagus, Sockeye, Linguine with Lemon Butter Sauce
This pasta dish of Asparagus, Crisp-Skinned Sockeye Salmon, and Linguine is tossed with a delicious Lemon Butter Parm-Reggiano sauce.

What’s the best way to Soft Cook an Egg?
There was some time a couple of months back where I kept overhearing conversations about the best way to cook an egg. I genuinely wasn’t sure so I didn’t have anything to add to the conversation. What do you do when you’re not smart enough to talk about something? YOU […]
