    How-To Recipes

    Are you the type to Google "how to...", well, everything? I definitely fall into that category, and being that you've ended up on this page, maybe you do, as well. :)

    In addition to the majority of full recipes on this website, I wanted to create a space for how-to tips and techniques that you can sub in to your already favorite recipes for a new twist without starting from scratch.

    For instance, whipped cream. The best, right? But it can get weepy and blah if not eaten right away. Enter stabilized whipped cream. Truly a game-changer!

    Same goes for oven roasted peppers. If you don't have a gas stovetop (I'm working with electric here), this how to roast poblano peppers in the oven post is a go-to.

    And I bet you can imagine a favorite dessert recipe of yours that could be made even better with a crumb topping.

    Plan to see more how-to tips, tutorials, and techniques on this page as it grows.
