Rosemary Sea Salt Sourdough Artisan Bread

This recipe, in yeasted form vs sourdough, is by far the most viewed recipe on this here CSPS site. I’m not sure why exactly — the referrers are all from Pinterest, so I am guessing it’s just been shared to members who have large followings, and then saved a lot. So I decided to create a sourdough version of it as well, and I personally think that it is even better than the yeast version. Got a bit of tang, very rosemary, just the right amount of sea salt. It’s going to make some delicious paninis for dinner.

Wild Rice, Corn + Sprout Salad, with Hot Smoked Salmon

Winter Salad — although frankly, this is pretty good for a summer picnic too (no mayo!): Wild Rice, Corn + Sprout Salad, with Hot Smoked Salmon. Simple to put together, healthy and is a spectacular lunch. While I think that the smoked salmon is integral, I can see that without it, it would also be very nice (somehow, a totally different salad).

Greek Style Sheet Pan Meal:
Shrimp with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes, Olives + Feta

Trying something different for a “one pot” meal — or a one pan meal, as it were. And this was so easy to do. Shrimp with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes, Olives + Feta. Took just about 30 minutes and would be easy enough to double to feed a crowd. The shrimp were super flavorful and juicy, combined with the just-warm olives and feta, and the cherry toms bursting with juiciness. Definitely a repeat. You could likely also do this (in this short of a time) with small pieces of fish as well.

Asiago and Rosemary Italian Artisan Sourdough Loaf

First Sourdough of the year: Asiago + Rosemary Artisan Italian Loaf. Really nice crust on this one, great flavor, though I could see that one has to be careful with salt — the cheese is pretty salty. Great dipping bread with olive oil and garlic and would go great with some antipasti. Definitely one to repeat.

Maple Bourbon Candied Pecans

As is often this time of year, I am thinking of “stocking stuffer” style gifts and inevitably I make some roasted nuts. This year: Maple Syrup and Bourbon…. a sort of New England meets Kentucky thing. They are delicious, not too hard and quite addictive. I should stop eating them, otherwise I won’t have any more to give away!
