A warm biscuit is comfort food, plain and simple. Being from the Mountain West, biscuits aren’t exactly a staple at our dinner table. (My mom did make homemade buttermilk biscuits occasionally, to accompany cabbage rolls—one of my favorite childhood dinners.) But my husband is half Southern; his mother’s family is from Tennessee, and some [...]View Post →

Canned jalapeños? Yes please! What could be better than enjoying the fruit of our summer labor on a cold day in February? After making a batch of Rebecca's Candied Jalapeños, I know one thing for sure: there is no way I've canned enough jars to make it till February. You may be wondering what Candied Jalapeños taste like. It's a wonderful mix of sweet and heat. I made my first batch with the seeds and membranes included and it was SPICY!

She makes the most amazing Scones served with Homemade Buttermilk Syrup. You might think scones and syrup are an odd combination. But here in [...]View Post →

Ask my nine-year-old daughter what she wants for dinner and nine times out of ten the answer will be, “Bow Tie Pasta.” What can I say, she is a very reliable girl. As a mom, I find myself cooking foods that appeal to my husband and me, and I don’t cater to the kids a [...]View Post →

  My husband and I LOVE fish tacos. We order them every chance we get. But since we live in a small community roughly 700 miles from the nearest ocean, a great fish taco is hard to come by. When Patio Daddio’s Spicy Grilled Fish Tacos recipe popped up on Tasty Kitchen, I knew it [...]View Post →

We’re so happy to welcome Calli to the Tasty Kitchen Blog. We love her and her blog Make it Do. It’s pretty, it’s yummy, and it has so many handy tips for making things around the house a little bit easier. (I’m waiting for her to invent automated laundry.)
