Sweet & Spicy Cajun Spare Ribs

10 Comments June 6, 2020 FrugalHausfrau

What a crazy year it’s been so far (now June of 2020). It’s one of those times that I, as a food blogger, feel so inadequate. After all, here I am writing about Sweet & Spicy Cajun Spare Ribs as Covid ravages the world, murder is meted out as justice and the nation burns. In the end, I can only do what I can do, and for me, that’s questioning and learning, listening with an open mind, and even more with an open heart. And I can accept that change isn’t easy. If it were, it would have happened already. And I can hope that we as individuals and as a nation don’t miss this opportunity, as difficult as it is, to grow, to change, to be better.

When (and if) Spring comes, I can hardly get my mind off of Asparagus. And this Spring, I can hardly get my mind off this Shaved Asparagus Salad with Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette. It’s simple and elegant, fresh and bright and just a beautiful and somewhat unexpected salad.

I always make my salad dressings. Oh, I may have an “emergency” bottle in the fridge but I just pretty much ignore it.

Melissa d’Arabian’s Mustard Vinaigrette

Leave a comment May 19, 2012 FrugalHausfrau

When I first posted this recipe for Melissa d’Arabian’s Mustard Vinaigrette back in 2012, the world of food was quite a bit different than it is now, in 2019. Back then there were bloggers (including me), there was the internet and of course, there were food shows, like $10 Dinners, which I watched with interest. There was nothing like the explosion of knowledge we have at our fingertips, today.
