sliced baked potato
Baked potatoes are amazing. This variation has vertical slices made before baking, making the top cook to a crunchy, thick-cut potato chip consistency, with a creamy baked potato centre. It's the best of both worlds! This fun trick can be done on almost any tuber. I used white and Russet potatoes, and a sweet potato.

Crockpot Lemon Chicken
A while back one of my wonderful Facebook readers, Erin Burns, shared a delicious crockpot recipe with me. I’ve made it about 5-7 times now and it is super yummy. I’ve also shared the recipe with family and friends and they have enjoyed it as well. I love that it partners well with pasta and my kids gobble it up. It goes well with fresh fruits and veggies, too.

Chinese Honey Chicken Recipe
Until now I have only tried honey chicken at the local Chinese buffets here in Michigan. Most of the honey chicken at the buffets I find a little too sweet for my liking. I decided I wanted to give it a try at home and came across a recipe that looked pretty good, and indeed it was. Basically this is no different than any other Chinese chicken recipe. The chicken is first battered, deep fried and then coated with a thick sauce. You can use a wok but I really recommend deep frying the chicken bits when using a batter like this.
How to Make Verjus, or Verjuice
Photo by Hank Shaw You know the old saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade?” Well, when life gives you unripe grapes, make verjus. I have a problem. With my book tour running into November, I will not be around to harvest the grapes in my yard. And as they are wine grapes — small, with lots of seeds — they’re not the best for eating off the vine, either.

Farm Fresh Goodness: Zoodles Alfredo with Chicken
Tis the season that we all have zucchini and yellow squash running out our ears. (And if you don’t check out a local farmer’s market to find some!) A while back, I read about two wonderful things….Zoodles and Squashetti. I have more zucchini than I know what to do with, so I decided to try it out.
C+C Marriage Factory: Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin
This was a cinch to make and seriously delicious. Casey and I both loved it and it will definitely be a regular on our menu.

Cheese Biscuits recipe from food52
Author Notes: Frequently on Tuesdays, Kristen shows up to our photo shoot bearing an armload of goodies from Bluebird Coffee Shop. All of the baked treats from this tiny gem of a place in the East Village of Manhattan are delicious, but our little cadre has pinpointed a couple of particular favorites: the doughnuts (more on those later this week from Amanda), and the cheese biscuits -- impossibly tender and almost melting within, the subtle bite of cheddar woven throughout. The other week, Amanda and I went to visit Adam Baumgart in his pastry kitchen in the basement of Bluebird, and he taught us how to make both of our top picks, sharing his tips and tricks along the way. This is Adam’s recipe for his heavenly biscuits. (less)Author Notes: Frequently on Tuesdays, Kristen shows up to our photo shoot bearing an armload of goodies from Bluebird Coffee Shop.
