What’s better than fish sticks? These are, my friend. As a proud Pacific Northwest resident, I feel like an ambassador of salmon, the mighty pink fish of Puget Sound. So, I proudly present salmon as you’ve never had it before. The flavorful, crisp batter turns this magnificent fish into the finger food of your dreams.
My sister just passed a landmark birthday and her gift request from me was a hand-made peanut-butter-cup cake. She is crazy for peanut butter, but scaling up a Reese’s to feed 20 people was a bit of a challenge. I’m not much of a baker (and my penmanship sucks) so Rachel helped me out a lot with this cake. Mad props to her, yo. By the time we were done, it looked like a buttercream grenade had gone off in the kitchen and my hand mixer smelled like burning. But, everyone loved this cake, so something must have gone right.
You’ll need your large cast iron skillet for this neo-mesa cornbread. Although I’m not the first to pile toppings onto cornbread, I’ve never before seen a layer of goat cheese inside. Perhaps KFC will pick up my idea and run with it, but in the meantime you can surprise your guests with this rustic yet upscale rendition of a barbecue favorite.
