Posted on June 3, 2015 by FoodArchMage

I have to confess a couple of things that I haven’t quite figured out how to replace since becoming a mage. First, I haven’t found a spell more situationally effective than a well-timed threat. But that’s probably true for most … Continue reading →

Simpler Stuffed Peppers

Posted on May 20, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Where I live, good peppers are harder to come by than eye of newt! They’re never in good shape and always overpriced, so I’ve started taking advantage of the fact that no one around here knows what to do with … Continue reading →

Roasted Sweet Potato Rito Bowls

Posted on May 13, 2015 by FoodArchMage

It’s a little-known fact that there are licences and regulations for magic, all over the world. And not all of them operate as smoothly as the Ministry of Magic! Out here in the mountains, the Magic Bureau is so small … Continue reading →

Posted on April 1, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Un-chiladas!

Posted on March 25, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Un-chiladas! I’ve talked before about substitution, re-invention, and conjuration, and we’ve picked up a bit of alchemy along the way. Today’s recipe, though, is a different breed of magic. We’re working with fusion. I love black beans and salsa. Any … Continue reading →

Emergency Soup

Posted on February 25, 2015 by FoodArchMage
