This is an excellent Instant-Pot recipe. Brown it and cook it all in the same pot. To quote Ina Garten, “How easy is that?” And, it’s just so damn delicious, too!
This bread came by way of a local supermarket, in the small town, I grew up in. They had a good bakery and this bread was a winner. It’s loaded with protein, different flours and it’s wonderful…really wonderful, toasted.
Carrots and honey go together like…like…well, honey and carrots. They are good pals, close and gossipy. Throw carrots into some browned butter and they become nutty, too. Right up my alley….
We ate a lot of Three Bean Salad when I was a kid. During the summer, my mother made it frequently. I think it was because we all liked it, it made a huge batch and it kept well. All that, and we had almost everything growing in the garden. I started with her recipe, then took a flying leap!

Who the hell is Dom Pedro you’re asking? And what does he have to do with pot roast? The Portuguese-born Dom Pedro I was the first ruler of the Empire of Brazil back in the 19th century.

Recently I had the privilege of breaking bread, well pita, with an incredibly talented and sharp woman. Her family has been a part of our lives for over two decades! Where does the time go? Anyway, we dined at Mythos, in Burlington, Ontario. The dinner was delicious, but their Greek salad was divine.
Salmorejo is well known as a summer soup, the Andalusian version of gazpacho. We just recently returned from the Iberian peninsula and whenever salmorejo was offered, it was in front of me. This has everything—color, creamy texture, and flavor, flavor, flavor.
