Today, I thought we could go back to the basics and review a simple skill that every good home cook should master, how to bake a potato.
I know what you’re thinking, why all the fuss about a baked potato? Well, let me start by saying if you’ve ever enjoyed a good supper club/restaurant-style baked potato, you know what I’m talking about. Those baked potatoes with skins that are irresistibly golden, and crispy with a satisfying hint of crunchy salt in each bite. The insides are perfectly light, fluffy, and steamy, ready to enjoy with a melty pad of butter, a dash of fresh chives, or maybe loaded up with all of your favorite toppings. If you’ve had that, then you know what the fuss is about. If not, trust me when I say it’s worth the extra time needed to make the potato.
Let’s cozy up with a bowl of warm, butternut squash soup. Butternut squash and cool weather go together so perfectly. This soup is so cozy and the spices just warm you up even more.
My butternut squash soup is versatile. It can be ultra creamy or chunky depending on how you want the soup to be. Either way, it’s full of complex roasted butternut squash flavor.

Absolutely! All squash seeds are edible. Everything from butternut to pumpkins. All too often squash seeds are dropped into the trash or compost bins. But not only are Squash seeds edible and easy to prepare, but they also make a wonderful, nutrient-dense crispy snack full of things like omega-3 fatty acids, protein, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.
Some favorites include roasted seeds from spaghetti squash, acorn, buttercup, butternut, turban, Hubbard, kabocha, and Delicata squash.

Red velvet cake is more than just a white cake dyed red, it’s also not a full-fledged chocolate cake. Instead, it has a buttery, tangy flavor with a slight chocolate undertone. Red velvet cake has a pretty unique flavor with an old-fashioned, from-scratch quality that I love. In my opinion… no boxed red velvet cake mix can compare to the work and effort.
Brunch is a meal usually served from late morning to early afternoon. The word “brunch” is a portmanteau (a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others) of “breakfast” and “lunch”, hence… BR-unch. Typically, you eat breakfast & lunch food together at an early lunchtime (or late breakfast time) and so, have brunch in lieu of both breakfast and lunch.
This take on the Chinese-American Takeout fav, Sesame Orange Chicken, uses my beer batter for the chicken and a secret ingredient to make the perfect sauce! It’s sweet, a little salty and it’s full of umami goodness!
