Condiments
Buffalo Ranch Hummus with Pickled Celery
Buffalo Ranch Hummus with Pickled Celery strikes that balance between healthyish snacking and guilty pleasure, with rich, bold buffalo and ranch flavors spiked with a contrasting vinegary pop from pickled celery.
Roasted 3-Pepper Veggie Dip
Roasted 3-Pepper Veggie Dip is an excellent way to eat your veggies in fun, delicious, and dippable fashion. I’ve been condiment crazy lately – olive tapenades, hummus, cream cheese dips, salsa… I’ve been devouring them all with enthusiasm and zero shame. This is why I was thrilled to rediscover the recipe for a dip I…
Black Olive and Jalapeno Tapenade
Keep rolling your shopping cart past those sad, dusty jars of olive tapenade occupying the shelves of your local grocery store and pick up the ingredients to make your very own Black Olive and Jalapeno Tapenade. Every so often while on a solo grocery shopping excursion, an unfamiliar product catches my eye and inevitably winds…
Citrus Jalapeno Salsa
Refreshingly light, tart, and spicy, Citrus Jalapeno Salsa is an easy, no-cook salsa perfect for scooping up with tortilla chips or pairing with delicate proteins. It’s been Spring for about 5 minutes here in Minnesota. And with Spring brings cravings for all things light and refreshing – and this Citrus Jalapeno Salsa is checking all…
Spicy Pico de Gallo
Homemade pico de gallo made with fresh, homegrown tomatoes is a seasonal guilty pleasure. I spice my pico de gallo up by benching green bell peppers and putting in serrano or jalapeno peppers. One of my favorite parts of summer in Minnesota is ALL OF THE FRESH TOMATOES. It truly is like Christmas in July.
Bacon and Roasted Garlic Chipotle Butter
Butter and Bacon! And Roasted Garlic! And Chipotle en Adobo Peppers! And Butter! Oh wait, I already mentioned butter. But for reals, butter is one of my favorite things. And so are all of the ingredients in this super awesome and boldly flavored Bacon and Roasted Garlic Chipotle Butter!
Pepita Pesto
Pesto is one of those things I enjoy but never make. I blame the pine nuts called for in traditional recipes. Not only are they spendy, but I literally don’t know what else you can do with them besides toast them and toss them on salads. I’m sure between some googling and oogling of Pinterest…
Roasted Garlic Chimichurri
Chee-mee-CHOO-ree! It’s as fun to say as it is delicious to eat. When people ask me what the heck chimichurri is, I describe it as an Argentinean pesto (sans nuts). Because, like pesto, chimichurri is fresh and herbaceous. Chimichurri is a condiment with Argentinean origins that typically contains parsley, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, and flakes…
Chipotle and Roasted Garlic Mayo
I DISLIKE MAYO. There. I said it. Which is weird, right? Minnesotans put mayo on and in everything (it seems). Preparing a salad is almost unfathomable without it…. It’s just that… I find the flavor and texture offensive. It’s unpleasantly gloopy and greasy, like cheap hair product. And it’s what immediately comes to mind…
