A list of all the recipes Paula D. has tested.
Apple Cider Caramels
The 8th wonder of the world? These insanely satiating caramels are made simply with apple cider, sugar, and spice.
Beet Hummus
Extraordinary looking. Extraordinary tasting. Extraordinarily healthy. And super simple to toss together.
Refrigerator Sweet Pickles
A Scandinavian-style pickle that’s distinctly sweet, a little sour, and perfumed with dill. It doesn’t even require turning on the stove during the dog days of summer.
BBQ Pulled Pork Tacos
Behold warm tortillas piled high with sweet pulled pork, spicy chipotle coleslaw, and tangy barbecue sauce. We bet you can’t stop at one.
Grilled Chicken Tacos with Fruit Salsa
When you face the inevitable glut of ripe stone fruits you couldn’t resist at the market, you’re going to want these grilled chicken tacos with fruit salsa at the top of your list.
Grilled Skirt Steak Tacos
Slightly spicy with a hint of sweet. Not to mention oh so satisfying. And did we mention fast and easy?
Blueberry Hand Pies
Love in pastry-encased incarnation. Simply envelope fruit filling in pie crust and fry until crisply golden outside, bubbling and lush inside. Deep-frying phobes, it’s easy as pie.
Blueberry Pie
The mere mention of blueberry pie sorta makes you wanna stop everything and sprint to the kitchen, doesn’t it?
Acquacotta
Sorta like shakshuka, aquacotta is an Italian soup from southern Tuscany that’s essentially leftover bread, tomatoes, onions, and chiles with eggs and a little Parmesan. Living large.
