Coconut Curry Soup With Crispy Garbanzo Beans
Cozy and warm and filling, with a crunchy, crispy kick, this dish can easily be made vegan but is satisfying for even the grizzliest of meat eaters.
Detroit Style Pizza
Not a lot of mods from the famous recipe, but I do a deep-dive into the pan and why this turns out so well.
Ginger-Garlic Beef Bowl
An easy and rewarding dish that can be made on the fly, dressed up for the awards show or dressed down for a night in.
‘Real’ Grilled Chili
Opening a couple cans of tomatoes and beans and dumping a bunch of powdered spices into a pot and calling it chili never appealed to me, so my first challenge when I started developing this recipe a few years ago was to not use any powdered...
Triple. Grilled. Cheese.
Certain things are sacrosanct and should not be taken lightly. My love affair with grilled cheese is one such matter. I believe I have perfected an art and I am willing to share my findings with you. Sure, anyone can grill a cheese, but adding these couple steps...
Ginger-Garlic ground beef
I really enjoy a big bowl of savory meat with plain rice and this is an extremely easy one you can make at home. I started with a Korean recipe, halved the sugar and shoyu and added veggies to make it a meal. Fresh chilis would be better but sambel is just so easy and...
Pupusa Feast!
I left the house determined to make hamburgers, cause we got a bunch of kaiser rolls - somehow by the time I got to the store I decided to make pupusas instead. This dinner had enough elements to be a holiday-meal- lets look at them individually. Steak - charcoal...
Blueberry Galette
Blue'bs were on sale so I bought a flat of 'em, not knowing what I'd do but having faith in the universe to show me the way. That darn universe, always speaking to us, never listening (shakes fist in air a la Grandpa Simpson). I took the recipe for the pate a foncer...
Easy Slow Cooker Pork
Damn if this isn't easy. Pork tenderloin was on sale, and I'm cheap, so that worked out well. Pork tenderloin is known for being lean and tasty, so when you see it marked-down, and not expired, there is a lot to be done with it. I felt like reading, not tending a...
Tsukune bowl – Japanese style chicken skewers with white rice and green beans
I went to the grocery store looking for a sale-challenge - and I found what I wanted with a pound of ground chicken. I set aside about 1/4 for late-night dumplings and got to work on some skewers. Start the rice first, and get the green beans cleaned and onto the...
Cold noodle bowl
Man is it ever hot - we just moved from LA to Washington D.C. and the weather has totally changed how I want to cook - and eat! There is a grill outside that I have been using so the apartment doesn't see the A/C combat the oven - though standing outside in the heat...
Coconut Curry Soup
I joined one of those weekly food boxes called Imperfect Produce and found myself with far too many sweet potatoes. These are the problems to have amirite? I decided that I wanted to make a soup and found a recipe online that seemed tasty, this is a slight...
Surf and Turf
The key to this dinner is the timing - the lobster tail only needs a few minutes to steam and a few minutes to broil the butter on top and the pasta only needs a few minutes in the boil and a couple minutes frying in the sauce. The pasta took a while, including the...
