Pomegranate + Hot Honey Chicken Wings

Happy Superbowl Sunday! As I think I write every year, I am more a fan of the game-time snacks than the game itself, and usually I try to make everything the day before the big game, but somehow my week got a bit discombobulated and today I am scrambling. I also forgot an few key ingredients and am not much in the mood to go to the shops, so I’ve decided to re-evaluate my day and just share this one thing with you instead. It’s the annual chicken wings! So far, there are 6 recipes for wings on the site, so this makes 7. Tart and spicy, crispy and delicious. Feeds a crowd and if you double the recipe, you could feed the entire neighborhood!

Spinach Mushroom & Cheddar Hand Pies

So I know that it might seem that I toil in the kitchen for hours, and sometimes I do, though “toiling” isn’t exactly the word that I would use as I enjoy spending time in the kitchen, as it is my refuge, but I am all about convenience food as well. And batch cooking. So here is something that I often make in batches: Hand pies. These are Spinach Mushroom + Cheddar Hand Pies. They are fantastic right out of the oven, but also freeze phenomenally well and with just 30 seconds in the microwave and 5 minutes in the oven to crisp up again, one (or sometimes two, shhhhh, don’t tell anyone) they make a great lunch or snack for dinner in front of the game if I am really too lazy to cook. If you search on hand pies, you’ll find more recipes too.

Multigrain Clover Honey Sourdough Bread

I bought myself a baking cloche for my birthday. What is a baking cloche, you ask? well, in essence, it is a glorified up-side-down cast iron dutch oven. Normally, I do my bread baking in a 6 Quart round or oval Le Creuset pot, so this is similar, only the bottom is shallow and the top is bell shaped. I didn’t notice much of a difference in all in the baking (though I will say that the Multigrain Clover Honey Sourdough Bread that I made is super delicious), but it sure was easier not to burn myself trying to get the loaf out.

Savory Potato, Cabbage + Bacon Strudel

Inspired by my recent trip to Innsbruck and Strudel-Cafe-Kroll, I decided to make a “cheater” (with puff pastry) savory strudel, Potato, Cabbage + Bacon Strudel. Very easy filling (which also tastes great with a fried egg as breakfast hash), and a simple faux braided top. Makes a great lunch or brunch dish, and can be served hot or at room temperature. Delicious and looks pretty too.
