This past month, Ive been to no fewer than 6 different bookstores which is actually a difficult feat considering I live in a small town and all the local bookstores have closed (sob) actually, 4 of the bookstores were large airport bookstores (another sob I dont care much for traveling during the holiday season.) At each store, propped up front and center is Debs (Smitten Kitchen) cookbook.

I love that the book features Debs strangely comforting black/white mottled countertop design. Not that the countertop is strange, but its strange that Ive followed Deb for so long now that I feel warm-yummy every time I see her blog photos which always is set on her kitchen countertop. Do I want to snuggle up on her kitchen counter? I might just, given the chance. Hmmmm..strange, right?!

When I got the book in the mail, the first recipe I flipped to was Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats rice krispy treats made with nutty browned butter?! Debs hallmark sweet treats are balanced with healthy recipes like Vermouth Mussels with Tarragon Oven Fries. In simple terms, its a book filled with recipes you actually want to cook. Big Breakfast Latkes (shredded potato/onion latke with sunny side up egg on top) would be perfect for weekends, vegetarian Ratatouille Sub is belly warming, and of course, Kale Salad with Cherries and Pecans carries all the crunch, sweetness that you could ever want in a salad.

Im lucky enough to be able to see Deb once year or so wevebeen to the Bahamas together,partied on a rooftopandJacobs first subway ride was to comesee me at a book signing. Shes amazing, loving and is just as chatty in person as on her blog.Get it:The Smitten Kitchen Cookbookby Deb Perelman

Now, about that salad..We grow kale every year in the garden, its just now starting to get big enough to harvest the leaves. Kale is super-easy to grow, and its one of those plants that you can harvest leaf by leaf just pluck enough for the salad.

Most of the kale recipes that I see are for cooked kale (see Caribbean Kale & Bacon or Kale Chips(try them!), so get really excited to see kale salad recipes oh yes, try this Kale & Cauliflower Salad thats one of my all time favorites.

Debs recipe forKale Salad with Cherries and Pecans features frilly crunchy (healthy!!) raw kale, creamy goat cheese, tart dried cherries, crunchy pecans and paper-thin slivers of radish. The variety of flavors, colors and textures that you experience in this salad is what brings me joy.

Kale Salad with Cherries and Pecans

Servings: 4 Prep Time:5 minutes Cook Time:

From The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook from Deb Perelman

Ingredients:

FOR THE SALAD
1/2 cup pecans
8 ounces Black Kale, also known as Cavolo Nero, or Lacinato, Dinosaur, or Tuscan Kale
4 ounces radishes, sliced into paper-thin rounds
1/2 cup dried cherries
2 ounces soft goat cheese, chilledFOR THE DRESSING
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Optional step: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spread the pecans on a tray. Toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, tossing them once or twice to make sure they toast evenly. Remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool.

Wash your kale and let it dry on spread-out kitchen or paper towels. Then, with a knife, remove the rib from each stalk, leaving long strips of kale leaves. Stack the leaves in small batches, roll them tightly the long way, and cut the roll crosswise into thin ribbons. Add the kale ribbons to a large salad bowl.

Add the radishes, pecans and cherries. Crumble the goat cheese over top.

Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small dish, and pour the dressing over the salad.

NOTE: This salad is great to eat right away, but even better after 20 minutes of tenderizing in the dressing.

For 2013: Make a Memory Jar

This idea was so popular last year that Im reposting it again! Happy New Year everyone! Jaden

I always say that time goes by too fast. Every. single. year. Other than this blog, I dont keep a family journal (lazy at writing with a pen and too shy to spill all our personal family stuff on Steamy Kitchen), so every year, Im always stuck with wondering, what happened this year?!?

Of course, all the big memories are never forgotten, but its the little joys, the teensy things that tend to get forgotten. This year, weve started a new tradition to do just one thing remember the little joys all year long ina memory jar. Those who follow Pinterest may have seen this too!

Memory Jar

We keep this vintage pale blue canning jar on the kitchen counter with a stack of colorful paper and a marker. Every few days, one of us will jot down something that made our family laugh or smile. On New Years Eve, well be emptying out the jar, unfolding each paper and reading them one by one.

Next year, a new jar to begin again and the best part is we can bring out past jars anytime to remember the little things that shaped our lives.

A memory jar is more fun than a journal as anyone in the family can contribute to it. The best is when one of us secretly writes memory and quietly slips it into the jar. I cant wait to read some of the notes my kids have written all year long.

Inside the jar, we also keep little silver trinkets and charms. Sometimes one of us will have a bad day, need a little extra reminder for compassion or a good luck charm on a spelling test. These are little enough to put into your pocket to serve as a extra oomph of support for the day. We used to have a small heart too I carried around the small silver heart one day and ended up giving it to a stranger I came across, who needed a little love.

The charms are indeed magical and I encourage my kids to give them to a friend or stranger who could use a bit of magic.

If youd like to create a memory jar, heres what I used:

Vintage mason jar quart size: you can find these oneBayor Etsy. Try to get one with a lid so you can store each years memory jar on a shelf. The photo below is from Mason Galore on Etsy.

The colorful notepad is from Staples even though it looks like a Post-It note, there is no sticky backing. Just a pretty spiral of colorful paper. $3.79 for 600 sheets.

You can also use scrapbook paper and cut them into 4x4 squares. I love the ones that come in a giant pad from Michaels.

The silver charms were bought at a local gift shop near my home. There are so many gorgeous handmade ones on Etsy: sterling silver wishbone, faith angel wing, dragonfly word charms, copper pocket heart.

From Cartelle $28:

Another great idea I picked up from Pinterest (are you addicted as much as I am?) is to create a memory box full of index cards. Each card is stamped with Month and Day. Everyday, write a one or two liner of something that happened that day or a wonderful little memory. The key is to keep going year after year, writing the next years memory on the the next line on the same card. So everyday, youll be able to see what you did each year on that day.

From Design Sponge:

From Wit and Whistle -

Photos

While were at it, here are a few more ideas that I plan on incorporating in the near year. I have way too many photos, but unfortunately, all of them are either on the camera or on my hard drive. Theres just no excuse not to display them.

Printing is easy, its the framing thats tedious. Heres a great idea that uses an empty frame, wire and clothes pin. Its so easy to change out photos and put up new ones.

Clothespin Frame:

I probably take more photos with my phone than my camera.Sticky Gramturns your Instagram photos into magnets. How cool. I havent used their service yet, but I certainly plan to. Turn your refrigerator into a memory board! We have a massive magnetic dry-erase board in the craft/homework room, which will be perfect to display the photos.

Art

The kids artwork that comes home from school normally gets displayed on the magnetic dry-erase board (Im not a fan of sticking stuff on the refrigerator) but after seeing these ideas, Im going to have to change it up! The kids artwork are masterpieces and should be displayed for everyone to see!

FromOh Dee DohA $30 project: curtain wires and clips from Ikea:

Less Than Perfect Life of Blisssays that Home is Where Your Art Is and I agree. She uses empty frames from the discount store and a clip to display her kids artwork. I love it.

An even better idea is to buy several large art canvases and host an outdoor art party! How cute is this!???? From J and J Home:

The last idea for today is fromFifth Wizardry: a cheap, clear shower curtain taped to the kitchen floor + markers and kids = adventure. Id hang this in the kids bathroom!

Would love to hear more ideas from you on how to incorporate more memories, photos and art into your life!

Were building an aquaponics garden!

Ive learned very important lesson as a mother. Its how to get my family to do things that they might not want to do. Some may call it manipulation, but I prefer to refer to it as mutually beneficial collaboration.

For example, if I want my youngest to take interest in something, all I have to do is to tell him, Its very rare, precious and incredibly expensive.which is how I got him to try raw oysters. When I order a platter of oysters, I go through my little ritual of intently examining each and every one, squeezing just ONE drop of fresh lemon juice and meticulously placing just a couple of Maldon sea salt flakes in each. I savor each oyster as if it were the most precious commodity in the world, making sure that I dont spill a single drop of brininess.

This ritual isnt for MY benefit, but for Nathan. (For the record, when hes not present, I slurp em like a champ and can eat 2 dozen in 5 minutes just ask Elise and Guy) I explained to Nathan that not everyone can eat oysters (leaving out the fact that 94% of them are just grossed out by raw oysters) and that only sophisticated, worldly and enlightened individuals could enjoy them. You know what happened next.he wanted to prove to me he was mature and had a developed palate. He ate one.and as he chewed, chewed, chewed and tried to swallow the slimey thing, I had to pinch my thigh hard to not laugh.

Every muscle in his face squeezed tight and it looked like his mouth was playing Twister, wrestling with the oyster. Then he grabbed for his chocolate milk as a chaser, which probably made things worse (blech!)But of course, he HAD to say he liked it.

To this day, he still eats the first oyster on my plate I just know he doesnt care for it, but he always asks and he takes it down like a man. A sophisticated man.

To get both kids to enjoy salads and most vegetables, I got them to help me garden. This was a much easier task than oysters.

They help me decide what veg to grow and theyre responsible every day watering, harvesting and chasing the chickens from the salad greens.

The garden you see here is our Earthbox and raised beds. Instead of covering the soil with mulch or hay, we tarped the entire bed and poked holes in when we planted each seedling. The tarp is held in place with ratcheting straps around the outside of the bed. This prevents weeds, helps the soil keep moisture and all the nutrients. Oh and during the winter, the black tarp helps the soil retain heat. When we water the garden, the water only goes where the plants are, so we save quite a bit of water.

Next season, Id like to find thick burlap to use instead of plastic tarp.

(Thats Nathan using Swiss Chard as a sunshade for his brother.)

Now that you know about my boys, let me tell you about how I got Scott interested in aquaponics and hydroponics:

No, this isnt a new Maxim competitor. Its a HYDROPONICS MAGAZINE. Really!!! (Hydroponics = gardening without soil)

See?

Between the pages with photos of bikini babes, are articles like, Protecting your young plants from morning frost with a DIY garden cloches made with a wine bottle and How to battle slugs with copper tape and diatomaceous earth.

Bravo.well done, publishers. Youve finally figured out how to get men interested in gardening!!

That is, until I figured out why the magazines name is Rosebud, which has nothing to do with a little precious flower or Citizen Kane. Rosebud is a slang term for marijuana.

Ooooooooh..now I get it. DUH!

Well, it turns out that Scott reallyis interested, but not for the obvious reason above.

A couple of weeks ago, he helped me assemble a Windowfarms, which I had backed on Kickstarter a while ago. After we set it up, I looked at the system and thought to myself that this is really expensive for small plastic pots, tubing and fish tank pump. My Windowfarms came with chemicals liquid plant foodthat I had to feed weekly to the plants. It just seemed.unnatural.

Because there is no soil, the plants have no way to get nutrients unless you feed them manually. I felt like a chemist, using a small pipette to add 6mL of one thing and 8mL of another into the water.

I told Scott that hydroponics just lost its appeal to me. Id rather dig in dirt! Play with worms! Spread homemade compost!

But what about Aquaponics, which is a soil-less garden system that uses fish to complete the cycle?

I showed him this Kickstarter campaign for a home aquaponics system, which I immediately backed and after watching a few YouTube videos on home aquaponics, he asked the magic question: Why is it so difficult to set up an aquaponics system for the home garden?

Which led me to say, Its really difficult to set up. I dont know of anyone, other than strangers on YouTube, that has built one in their backyard. What would be really cool is if the whole thing was AUTOMATED and you could control it with your iPhone.

Which led him to say, I bet I could do it.

Which led me to silently give myself a high-five.

And now, hes obsessed. a geeky factor into gardening!

Within days, he scoured Craigslist for food-safe totes which are 275 gallon plastic containers.

One for the fish (well raise tilapia), and the others are cut down for the garden beds.

That night, we had a Steamy Kitchen Board of Directors Meeting during dinner to explain to the boys the difference between Hydroponics and Aquaponics (fish!) and planning out how the system will be set up.

I have the best Board of Directors, ever.

Oh, and I ended up feeding the Windowfarms hydroponics system some compost tea that I brewed instead of something called Formula CN-17. So far, so good. I havent killed anything yet.

Prime Rib Roast with Miso Jus

Prime Rib seems so intimidating to cook, but in all honesty, its easier than roasting a turkey. Theres no brining, stuffing a cavity, flipping halfway or injecting with marinade. Cooking the most tender Prime Rib only uses one cooking rule slow n low. All you need is time.

If youre looking for a more basic recipe,check out my other post for the Perfect Prime Rib Roast with Red Wine Jus.

This is by far the most simple way to cook a Prime Rib Roast my trick is to start with a savory-sweet-umami-rich ingredient, Miso Paste. Rubbing the Prime Rib Roast with miso, salt and pepper will season the roast nicely. If youre concerned that the Prime Rib Roast will taste like miso soup let me give you a guarantee that it certainly wont. When miso is combined with meat and heat, the flavor profile helps deepen the flavor of the meat itself, much better than just plain salt. Its like the difference between sprinkling salt on your bread vs. spreading a rich butter.

In my recipe, you can either use low-sodium miso paste (my favorite is shiro miso, which is white miso) or Miso & Easy, a super easy to use miso product, from the makers of one of Japans 1 brand of miso, Marukome.Ive developed quite a few recipes for them over the past year come take a look.

Prime Rib Roast with Miso Au Jus Recipe

Servings: 6-10 Prep Time:10 minutes Cook Time:20 minutes per pound

Ingredients:

1 (6-10 pound) standing rib roast
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup miso paste (or 1/2 cup Miso & Easy), divided
5 large carrots, halved
8 stalks celery, halved
2 onions, halved
1 cup red wine
2 cups good quality beef stock

Directions:

Heat the oven to 250F. Season the rib roast on all sides with salt and pepper. Rub just 2-3 tablespoons of the miso (keep the rest of the miso for the Au Jus) on all sides of the rib roast. Place rib roast in a large roasting pan. Scatter the vegetables all around the roast.

Roast for 17-20 minutes PER POUND or until temperature of the middle of the roast is 130F (medium-rare to medium). Turn the broiler to high and let the roast brown a bit on the outside, for about 5 minutes. Transfer roast to cutting board, carefully untie the bones from roast. Cover loosely with tin foil. Rest for 20 minutes.

While roast is resting, make the Miso Jus. Keep the vegetables in the roasting pan but discard all but 1 teaspoon of the fat. Place the roasting pan 2 burners set on high heat.

Pour in the red wine and cook until wine is reduced by half. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the bits. Whisk in the beef broth and 2 tablespoons of miso paste (or 3 tablespoons Miso & Easy). Turn heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add any juices accumulated from the rib roast on the cutting board. Turn off heat.

Strain the jus with mesh strainer, pressing down with wooden spoon to extract out all the juice from the vegetables. Carve the roast, serve with the jus.

Pork and Spinach Wonton

I think the ultimate Chinese comfort food is handmade wonton in soup. Warm, soothing, gingery broth..delicate, floating clouds. In Cantonese, wonton is pronouncedwun tun, which means swallowing clouds. The wonton wrapper is so delicate and thin. the wonton appear to be floating in the soup.

When I was in college, my girlfriends and I would get together and make hundreds of these and freeze them. It was cheap, easy to make and we had quite a bit of fun as we turned it into a dumpling party. Its the best quick meal, as wonton can be cooked directly from the freezer into simmering broth.

Theres all sorts of ingredients that you can use to fill wonton. Shrimp, ground beef, ground pork, cabbage, spinach, bamboo shoots, scallops, mushrooms.really, anything that you want. When snow crab or king crab legs are on sale, Ill make crab and napa cabbage wonton.

I normally eat wonton with a small dipping bowl of red vinegar and slivers of fresh ginger. Thats the Cantonese way!Add in some noodles to make wonton noodle soup and Im in heaven.

Pork and Spinach Wonton Recipe

Servings: 50 dumplings Prep Time:40 minutes Cook Time:10 minutes

You can add cooked noodles to this dish to make wonton noodle soup - but just remember to cook the noodles in a separate pot of water (and not the broth) to prevent excess starch from the noodles from clouding up the good broth.

If you want, serve wonton with a dipping bowl of red wine vinegar and slivers of fresh ginger. Peel ginger, then use a vegetable peeler to peel paper-thin slices of ginger. Use knife to further chop into fine slivers. Combine with the red vinegar. To eat, place a wonton on your spoon. With chopsticks, pick up a few slivers of ginger and place on top of wonton. Eat!

Ingredients:

10-ounce package frozen spinach, defrosted
1/4 cabbage, grated on large holes of box grater
2 teaspoons salt
1 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
2 teaspoons roasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
16-ounce package of dumpling wrappers (about 50 wrappers), defrosted (see note)
For the slurry: 1/4 cup cool water + 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions:

1. Squeeze as much water out of the spinach and discard the water (or water your plants!). Place the spinach and cabbage in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix well. Let sit for 10 minutes. In large handfuls (or a cheesecloth), squeeze the water out of the cabbage/spinach and discard the water.

2. Add in the ground pork, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, wine, sesame oil and cornstarch. Mix well.

OPTIONAL: Heat up a small frying pan over medium heat, add in a touch of cooking oil. Cook a spoonful of the dumpling filling and taste. Adjust seasonings to the dumpling filling if you wish.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the water and cornstarch for the slurry.

4. Take one dumpling wrapper, place 1 teaspoon of the dumpling mixture in the middle. Paint the outer edge of the dumpling wrapper with the slurry. Fold wrapper over like in a half-moon shape and seal tightly all around. Make sure there are no air pockets or holes in the dumpling. Place folded dumpling on a clean, dry plate and cover with plastic wrap or barely damp towel to avoid drying out.

5. When dumplings are all folded, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

TO STORE:

- If you want to freeze the dumplings, place all the dumplings flat on a plate. Do not crowd. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Once the dumplings are frozen, you can gather them up and store in freezer bag. This ensures that the dumplings freeze individually (otherwise if the dumplings froze and stuck together, it would be nearly impossible to cook.

- When ready to cook dumplings, they can go from freezer to pan. Just add an additional 2 minutes to cooking time.
