In celebration of National Pi Day (3.14) I’ve teamed up with Uncommon Goods to create my favorite pie.  A pizza pie!  And not just any pizza pie, but a Margherita Naan Pizza on the grill.  

You see Uncommon Goods has this amazing garden in a bag which just happens to grow everything you need for homemade pizza sauce (basil, tomatoes, oregano).  And because I’m not really someone who is known for their patience I decided to perfect my recipe before my garden began to grow.  Best decision ever.  Let’s just say I’ll be counting down the days till I can begin picking these ingredients fresh from my garden and grilling this pizza all summer long.   Happy 3.14!  truly, MKR

Chocolate Candy Cane Popcorn

When creating an easy, kid friendly treat for my “Cold Hands Warm Heart” Cocoa party I immediately thought popcorn.  But not just any popcorn.  How about chocolate candy cane popcorn?  That’s right, festive popped corn topped with melted milk and white chocolate sprinkled with crushed candy cane.  Seriously, this is amazing.  Amazing.  And crazy easy!  I promise you’ll be eating this long past December.  Oh, and I hope you’re not tired of peppermint and chocolate because I’ve got a few more recipes coming your way just in time for your Holiday.  Merry Merry Loves!  truly, MKR

Ingredients
  1. 3/4 cup popcorn seeds
  2. Vegetable Oil
  3. 1 cup Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips
  4. 1 cup Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips
  5. Crushed Peppermint Candy Cane
Instructions
  1. In a stock pot pour in vegetable oil so it just covers the bottom of the pot. Add popcorn seeds, cover and turn burner on high. **As popping begins make sure to shake the pot a few times to stir up the popping seeds.**
  2. Once full popped remove from burner and transfer popcorn into two large mixing bowls and let sit.
  3. In a small microwavable bowl add white chocolate chips and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, and microwave an additional 30-45 seconds. **When melting chocolate the chips will not full melt until you stir or whisk. Do not let your chocolate cook until chips are melted as chocolate burns easily and quickly.**
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
  5. With a fork sprinkle melted chocolate on popcorn mixing at least once.
  6. Sprinkle with crushed candy cane.
  7. Repeat above steps with the milk chocolate.

  3. Place short ribs in large dutch oven on medium heat with oil. Brown very well, about 2 to 3
  4. minutes per side. Do not overcrowd. Cook in batches, if necessary. I usually fit 3­4 ribs at a
  5. time.
  6. After short ribs are browned, place on paper towel. Discard excess oil.

  8. Add the wine and sherry vinegar to mirepoix and reduce the mixture by half.
  9. Return the short ribs to the dutch oven and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about
  10. covered the meat. Add the thyme, rosemary, black pepper, whole coriander and bay leaves.
  11. Cover and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Cook until tender and not tough. Though
  12. they should not be falling apart.
  13. Once short ribs are done, remove ribs from pot and strain liquid and reserve. Discard veggies
  14. and aromatics.
  15. Place short ribs back into the empty pot and pour strained liquid over the short ribs. Place pot
  16. of short ribs back into oven with lid off for 20 minutes. Periodically baste short ribs until glossy
  17. and glazed.
Notes
