I mentioned last week how much The Hubs loves Turkey Taco Tuesday. I mean, he LOVES Taco Tuesday, like it’s his favorite meal of the week. Fancy doesn’t matter with my husband, only taste. I have Turkey Taco Tuesday down to less than 30 minutes from start to finish, and that’s WITH homemade salsa! We often have …
I hail from the Midwest so you know I enjoy a good meatloaf. You will find a lot of meatloaf at the Meat and Threes here in The South, typically smothered in gravy with a side of buttery mashed potatoes. Delicious, yes, but also pretty fattening. I lightened my loaf with ground turkey and panko …
Even though March is technically over and sadly both Michigan basketball teams lost (sorry Mike Smith), I’m still going forward with a recipe post of my favorite buffalo hot wings! Wings are perfect fare for watching any type of sport, specifically tomorrow’s Monday night college basketball championship game. The Hubs taught me you can throw …
Thousands of great food photographers exist in the world, but lately I’ve been admiring the work of Steve Giralt. His self-published cookbook titled, “First Generation Cuban-American“, displays some of the most interesting and different food photography I’ve ever seen. Food pictures are usually so overtly happy, sunny and bright. Steve’s pictures are a total divergence …
St. Patrick’s day has a special place in my heart because one of my most favorite people on the planet shares her birthday with the holiday. I dedicate this recipe to my sister, Patrice, who also happens to be the nicest, most selfless person in my family. She devotes all her time to her kids, …
I am particularly fired up over Bon Appétit’s March cover recipe: Savory Short Rib Pot Pies. I’m a sucker for braised, slow-roasted meat, and placing it in pie form only further encourages me to want to cook this recipe. Short rib pot pie reminds me of the beef and potato pasties (say: paah-stie) my …
When I was a little girl, mom and nana both made golumpki, or Polish stuffed cabbage. Because raw cabbage smells like stinky feet, I refused to eat the cabbage part of the stuffed cabbage meal. As a kid, I’d carefully unwrap each little cabbage package and dive straight in for the filling of tomato flavored …
Holy crap was this recipe ever delicious. “Such silken rich broth! So meaty! Is this really chicken???” The Hubs and I exchanged several questions over our stew in-between the mmmmm’s, slurps, and gahhhhhmmm’s. I cooked Bon Appetit’s February cover last night. I woke up this morning (still!) to the lingering heavenly sent scent (HA) of …
About three weeks ago, the lovely people at The Hatch Chile Store reached out to me all the way from Hatch, New Mexico. They wanted to know if I would like to cook with their Hatch Green Chile. An enthusiastic, HECK YES!, was my response. I think they noticed last Fall’s chutney and enchilasagne posts, both …
Spicy pork and mustard green soup is on the 2014 January cover of Bon Appétit. I like to challenge myself and will sometimes attempt to cook their cover (remember the beautiful pork roast?). I have to admit I was not particularly jazzed about eating wet, wilted greens, but the premise of a spicy bowl of …
