sous salt crackers

Due to over popular demand and a bit of free time on a Saturday morning...here's the recipe...finally! Just a couple of notes. Feel free to use any cheese you like, a goat cheddar, a jalapeno jack, parmigiano reggiano, just remember to not put salt in the dough if you are going to serve with with the Sous Salt on top. If you aren't you can put the salt in the dough. Also don't forget to let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before you move them so they can set up a bit.

stuffed chicken breasts ~

Very easy and incredibly flavorful. I used two different Sous Salts. The Grey Herb Sous Salt for the seasoning of the chicken and the Sun Dried Heirloom Tomato Sous Salt for the stuffing mixtures.

Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4 ounces of goat cheese 2 ounces of sun dried tomato pesto (available at the markets, great pantry item) 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese 2 ounces grated Fontina 1 clove garlic 2 leaves of Kale finely sliced 1 teaspoon Sous Salt Grey Herb 1 [...]

stuffed squash from Heaven!

We welcome Fall in this family with open ovens! Something about the colors and smells of the season....The other day I picked up some beautiful Acorn Squash and stuffed it with a light meat mixture. Soaking the bread in the milk and wine gives the stuffing a wonderfully light texture. This recipe will stuff two acorn squash...four halves and will leave you enough of the meat mixture to make meatballs or a small meatloaf the next evening. Two dinners in one prep. Or you can stuff four acorn squash, eight halves and use the entire meat mixture. Either way it produces a light stuffing [...]
