Cranberry Sauce with Orange and Ginger

If your kids are like my kids, they won’t like this sauce at all. Which is fine because it’s not for them! This is an adult’s cranberry sauce with a gingery zing, the warmth of cinnamon, and the sweetness of orange. It’s absolutely not to be wasted on the picky haters.

Ginger Chicken Glop with Sweet Potatoes

This is the soup I crave when I’m feeling sick or cold or craving comfort food. The rice makes it thick like a gumbo and the ginger gives it deep warmth. As for sweet potatoes: well, I never need a reason to put sweet potatoes in anything.

My Favorite Salad Dressing

I love salad but I hate almost all typical Western salad dressings. They’re all either too vinegar-y (anything Balsamic, ugh), too thick (xanthan gum, ugh), or too dairy-based (ranch, ugh). In my picky opinion, THIS is what salad dressing should taste like.

Flautas

My longest recipe to date – 3 pages of dragon cooking. I got really silly with the first page and then kind of lost the ridiculous DnD theme halfway through. They still taste good tho.
