Vegetable Marinara – A Very Useful Healthy Sauce

February 28, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I cook. A lot. You know that. But I am not always motivated to prepare myself an elaborate meal every day of the week. And I certainly have days when I have been rushing around or testing recipes that do not a meal make (yes, I have had hours in the kitchen producing only brownies and cake, or several different kinds of bread). But I try my best to make my regular, at home … [Read more...] about Vegetable Marinara – A Very Useful Healthy Sauce

Meyer Lemon Rosemary Tart

Well this has been quite a winter. Pandemic, snow, ice. But I always find a little sunshine in citrus at this time of year, so here’s a treat to brighten up the gloomy days.

It was the classic cinnamon filling, which … [Read more...] about Savory Crawfish King Cake

Mardi Gras is approaching, and like everything else these days, it’s going to be different. I won’t be celebrating with a big crowd, and in New Orleans the parades have been cancelled. But in true Mardi Gras spirit, the people of New Orleans have gotten creative this year, hiring local artists to decorate houses like parade floats. I encourage you to check out #yardigras and … [Read more...] about Hot Crab Remoulade Dip

Chocolate Brown Butter Bourbon Flourless Cake

January 31, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

Decadent chocolate desserts sound just about perfect right now. Cabin fever is well and truly set in and I for one could use as much comfort and love as I can muster. Just when we’ve managed to settle into a healthier eating pattern, or endured a dry January, Valentine’s day rolls around to tempt us to chocolate. And I for one am okay with that. It’s nice to have an excuse to … [Read more...] about Chocolate Brown Butter Bourbon Flourless Cake

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
