Whenever I purchase a wedge of Parmesan cheese, I cut the rind off and put in the freezer. Then, on a day like today, when I want to make soup – it’s right there waiting for me. Adding a Parmesan rind to soups while they simmer provides depth to the flavor. It’s that simple – […]
In 2018, I closed Flagstone Pantry to relocate to Washington, D.C. – again. I’ve had a little time to reflect on my experience owning and operating Flagstone Pantry, which I’ve concluded was equal parts rewarding, challenging, fun and terrifying. Being featured on Cooking Channel’s Cheap Eats: Santa Barbara for my Cowboy Cooking was simply the […]
In January 2018, the crew from Cooking Channel joined us for 2 days of filming and fun featuring our Cowboy Cookie. A hearty snack containing peanut butter, coconut, chocolate chips and oats – it’s about time the Cowboy Cookie got some prime time love (if we may say so ourselves)! They took over our kitchen […]
The best thing about these blondies, besides the peanut butter and dark chocolate chips, is the fact that no one realizes they are made with gluten-free ingredients! Chewy and satisfying, you won’t miss the all-purpose flour. Trust us on this. Get yours at Crazy Good Bread Company in Montecito and Carpinteria. Enjoy!
This is an exciting day. About 3 1/2 years ago, I started a blog at getyouryummyback.com (GYYB). Ever since, I’ve been posting recipes weekly for soups, salads, sides, main dishes, starters, breakfast and treats. I’ve highlighted how to cook gluten-free whole grains, tips for the perfect stir-fry and how to grill a turkey. There are now about 250 recipes in the GYYB archive.
I am officially moving all of the GYYB content here to flagstonepantry.com, where I run my business. There are lots of good things in the works at Flagstone Pantry and I look forward to keeping you in the loop on all the shenanigans. Until then, if you are looking for a recipe, simply use the search bar to search by ingredient or by key word such as “main dish” or “muffin”…
I do this all the time. I find a recipe that looks tempting and then I make it my own by changing ingredients, the method of preparation, or both. My latest success in this category ~ Roasted Pepper and Pumpkin Soup.
I’m always in the market for a good hearty soup! This Lentil Sausage Soup is a keeper. Lentils cook relatively quickly, so I consider this a weeknight recipe. It also freezes well. I served it up with a green salad and some equally hearty Irish Soda Bread. ~yum~
It’s Friday and I imagine most of us are shopping or planning to shop for Thanksgiving next week. I thought I’d share some of my turkey day favorites from the GYYB archives…
Yield: 6 quarts This hearty soup is delicious. For a vegetarian option, leave the sausage out and use vegetable broth. Never throw out rinds of Parmesan cheese – freeze them and use them for soup! 1 pound brown lentils 1/4 cup olive oil 4 cups diced yellow onions (3 large) 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 […]
This week started out as summer and took a major turn towards Fall. In celebration – I made this Red Chili. I surfaced an old favorite recipe and made it my own by blending ground pork and beef, adding spices and a little heat. It’s delicious! For 5 chili recipes, read more…
