Butternut squash is on my Top 5 Foods I Procrastinate About list.

RECIPE UPDATED 12/20/22 I finally decided to make some roasted butternut squash soup and as I pondered the recipe it occurred to me that I didn't love last year's version.

I have big love for peppers.

I was looking around the Internets for a chili recipe and stumbled upon Cincinnati Chili.

A few weeks ago I came across this gorgeous photo of steel-cut oatmeal with roasted blackberries.

When it comes to food I'm on team carnivore, but during the summer months when the farmers market is overflowing with good eats I can't help but focus on veggies, fruit, and herbs.

Last weekend we celebrated porkapalooza.

After a good deal of research, we finally bought a juicer (updated model linked) and it has been one of the best kitchen investments to date.

Roasting is a great way to introduce the sweet element into a sweet and savory dish.

I have had an ice cream maker on the wishlist for several years, so last summer when this Cuisinart model went on sale (add to that some coaxing from Rob) I finally bought one.

When trying something new I generally reference my Cook's Illustrated books or CI's online recipes to get a basic idea of how a dish is made.

This is the time of year when I wish Mother Nature would slow down and spread the fruit wealth around a little.
