Corn Stock

Here at CPM we LOVE corn season and, with Larry’s Produce finally open, we put fresh corn in all sorts of delicious things. After we’ve cut all the corn off the cobs, we realized there is still a lot of crazy good flavor left on that cob that just can’t go to waste. So we … Continue reading →

Neapolitan Rice Krispies Treats

Posted on July 14, 2019 by trishlee75 • 1 Comment

Crack, in layers. In all the flavors you love. But make them while you can. It turns out the Strawberry Rice Krispies are a limited edition thing. So sad…. Keep in mind this recipe uses three separate batches of Krispie treats (it makes A LOT) so make sure your pan is big enough. Neapolitan Rice … Continue reading →

Amelia’s Fried Rice Sauce

Nothing says “fun” quite as well as homemade marshmallows. These fluffy treats are easy to make, and a hit with kids both big and small. And, if you’re a s’mores lover, homemade marshmallows yield sort of a crème brulee texture when toasted. Homemade Marshmallows 3 packages Knox unflavored gelatin 12 oz. granulated sugar 1 cup … Continue reading →

Foraging Free Food – Fennel Seed

Along the rolling hills of the San Francisco Bay Area, there is an abundance of fennel plants.  Towering high above the rest of the ground cover with its feathery leaves, much of the year it blooms with tiny yellow flowers covered in sweet nectar, which you can lick right off the flowers.  In the dead … Continue reading →

Fresh Fried Tortilla Chips

Posted on January 14, 2018 by trishlee75 • Leave a comment

A lot of our most favorite recipes at CPM come from having been too broke or too unwilling to go back to the store for that one more thing.  So there have been plenty of times we’ve had to make what we need out of what we already have on hand.  Call it our own … Continue reading →
