My family took a trip to Duluth last year, and we had a lunch at this place called Northern Waters Smokehaus. They had a crazy long line, but it proved worth the wait. We all had delicious sandwiches, but the real standout was their potato salad, which pretty much everyone at the table declared was…
Chicken Basil Stir Fry
Somehow, my basil plant that I acquired at Cub over a year ago is still thriving! I recently repotted it with some new soil, and it’s been going through a growth spurt. It has received a place of honor in my kitchen, right by the window, and I am quite proud of it. However, I…
Carrot Cake Smoothie
Surprise, surprise, I had to do another carrot drink, because I have these glasses, and I bought a lot of carrot juice. As much as I like carrots, I’m not drinking carrot juice plain. So why not make it in to a smoothie? That’s got the same spices as carrot cake? Delicious way to start…
Chicken Gnocchi Soup
This recipe was a… complete freestyle. But it was good enough that I want it saved here on the blog! I went in with a concept, obviously. I’ve seen a few renditions of chicken gnocchi soup on the internet. But soup is one of those things where you can use whatever vegetables you have and…
Weeknight Moroccan Chicken with Orzo
Introducing… *drum roll*… For the first time ever… The Batter Thickens has a guest chef… the third sibling: Ethan! My brother didn’t write this post, but he made the food and has given me lots of quotes to include, so you can hear about it directly from the chef! It may not look like fine…
$15,000 Smashed Potatoes
Recently, as the temperatures here approached highs of 2 degrees Fahrenheit, our furnace stopped working! It was something we had all been “bracing” for, as it was older than me. But the timing really was comical. Thankfully, the replacement was installed the next day. And thank you to my landlord parents for shelling out for…
Elote Cornbread
I’ve explained before how much my family loves Elote. So when we needed cornbread to go with chili one night, I figured I may as well put an Elote spin on it! This recipe also came about, much like these rye scones did, in my efforts to empty out my pantry of all the half-used…
Junior vs. Adult Bake Off: Pizza Star Bread
My family was thrilled when this year’s Great New Year’s Baking Show brought back the greatest the GBBO tent has ever seen: Jürgen. We watched the two holiday episodes this holiday season, and appreciated getting to see Jürgen back in the tent, and even performing his trombone. And then when they were done I convinced…
