Cooking in the Kudzu Kitchen: July 2011
http://kudzukitchen.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Cooking in the Kudzu Kitchen. Thursday, July 14, 2011. Or, what happens when you clean out the refrigerator. That's a handful of whole-wheat penne, half a cucumber, some broccoli that was just before getting wimpy and having to be tossed, and a few grape tomatoes from the garden. I sliced the garden-fresh squash and cooked it on the grill pan and tossed the whole thing with some red pepper Italian dressing and some Parmesan. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Serves 6 to 8. Make Your Own Dinner.

Cooking in the Kudzu Kitchen: June 2011
http://kudzukitchen.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Cooking in the Kudzu Kitchen. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Puree 3 cups of chopped seeded watermelon (from a two-pound watermelon). Add a bit of powdered sugar, if you like, and a couple of tablespoons of fresh lime juice, which I left out because I didn't have any limes. Pop a few blueberries into the popsicle molds before filling with the watermelon mixture. That's it! I made a version based on Ellie Krieger's recipe in So Easy. Cookbook, a book I like. Just a little bit. :-). 1/8 cup all-purpose flour.

http://kudzukitchen.blogspot.com/2013/01/eggnog-gingerbread-tart.html
Cooking in the Kudzu Kitchen. Saturday, January 26, 2013. The garnish on these tarts is my favorite part. They are darling to look at and surprisingly easy to make.
