Do you add something special to your soups or stews?
Do you have a special or secret ingredient to your soups and stews? On the Oregon coast they have seafood and there is a place called "Mo's". They sell the best clam chowder and we used to be able to get a base mixture of the recipe in a certain store locally and in the Willamette Valley. I don't know if they have it now…

Don't Preheat Your Oven
I've always felt kind of guilty for just throwing stuff into the oven without preheating it. According to this article, it only matters for recipes that have a leavening agent. And I do love crispy skin on my chicken. Don’t Preheat Your Oven Before Cooking Chicken Thighs (lifehacker.com)

Leftover cornbread recipe
I experimented with leftover cornbread from Thanksgiving and used it as the topping for a crumble. I turned the cornbread into crumbs, mine was soft enough to accomplish this by hand. The crumble recipe I found called for flour and oatmeal. I replaced both with the cornbread crumbs, added a generous amount of cinnamon and…

If these are sweet like the other honey marshmallow recipe I have, s'mores should be made with thin dark chocolate bar squares. The contrast is amazing. Done with marshmallow root, as in this recipe, it would be amazing in more than one way!
