Beer and Blueberry Pancakes by Nikki S. Moore

A childhood classmate loved to tell the story of the first time we met. We must have been in kindergarten or first grade and our mothers had arranged for us to carpool together. On the first day of the carpool, in the story my friend tells, I jumped in the backseat of the car with him and proudly exclaimed, “I just ate 100…

Chicken Challenge Meal #5: BBQ Chicken Pizza by Nikki S. Moore

It’s the final meal of the Chicken Challenge. If you’ve made it this far, I hope you are feeling quite pleased with yourself.

But…

Springtime Risotto by Nikki S. Moore

When my daughter started eating solids, I sought out the freshest organic vegetables I could find, carefully steamed them, pureed them in a food processor, and then, because she has always had a thing about texture, sent them through a chinois mousseline to get a silky-smooth consistency. The resulting purees, 1/4-cup portions packed…

Korean Bulgogi with Kimchi on the HEXX

Korean Bulgogi with Kimchi on the HEXX by Nikki S. Moore

Rarely do I like to mess with a good thing, but I had a few dried apricots leftover from another project that I thought might make for an…
