Heather says: Welcome to Fearless Friday #16, the Heather has a horrible summer cold or allergies, so pictures and the actual recipe I made on Wednesday will have to wait edition. I finally broke down and bought a pressure cooker large enough to use as a pressure canner. This summer I totally flopped at canning …
Heather says: Another week another kitchen challenge. This week I experimented with making noodles from scratch. I’ve made rolled dumplings in the past, so I knew it couldn’t be too difficult, but I was prepared for a starchy mess. Ready for the Fearless Friday Spiel? Fearless Fridays are an exercise in kitchen bravery. It’s not …
Heather says: Ranch dressing from scratch with no MSG. Who knew? I spent maybe five minutes on this, ten if you count the phone call from the grocery store asking to double check the recipe. Why then have I not bothered to make homemade ranch seasoning, if it’s so easy? We could come up with …

Skip the narrative and get right to the calzone recipe Heather says: So, what’s fearless about a calzone? The fact that I have not been able to get a good picture of one in almost 3 years. So earlier this week I said to heck with it, that’s my fearless feat for Friday. I’m going to …
Heather says: Part of kitchen bravery is revisiting an unsuccessful attempt and trying again. So this week I researched spring rolls and invited my friend Heidi over to offer guidance. I am happy to note that this week’s attempt was full of both awesome and win. We even experimented with a dessert spring roll I …
Heather says: My personal Fearless Friday is going to be was late. I wanted to be sure the post was ready, so I posted it early. I will be preparing the spring rolls today, so the recipe and pictures were late. I apologize for that If you were on the ball like Malia, feel free …
Heather says: What’s fearless about a lemon meringue pie? Well, I’m not a baker, I don’t have enough experience baking to feel comfortable experimenting with predictable results. Last night I grabbed a recipe from Alton Brown. Tell me, do you know a geek that doesn’t love a little Alton? I changed it up a little, just …
Heather says: Prior to having children I worked in the restaurant industry, but I was not a pastry chef. I learned all the other positions, but one lovely gentleman filled that role. He’d come in at 3am just so he wouldn’t have to put up with our obnoxiousness. I usually only saw him for an …
