Deviled Eggs are something that everyone should know how to make. Plus, if you bring them, you will be the favorite at the party. I’ve customize these with various ingredients in the past. For instance, I’ve made Thai red curry deviled eggs with red curry paste, cilantro and chiles. I’ve also made them with avocado… Read More Classic Deviled Eggs
My son started working at his first job this past summer. Following in his dad’s footsteps, he took a food service job working at a throwback burger joint. He’s not old enough to work the griddle or fryer (thank goodness!) but learned to make a mean milkshake and mop a floor. He worked a LOT… Read More When Cravings Attack: Chili Cheese Hot Dogs
As much as I know we should eat veggies in our house, we just don’t seem to quite hit what I think is the appropriate mark for leafy greens in our diet. Of course, when I make Indian food, I lean towards the vegetarian but that’s a little different than just eating your veggies. So… Read More Pasta with Broccoli Pesto and Shrimp
I was a super picky eater as a child. I was also abnormally tiny so my mom and doctors were pretty obsessed with my eating habits. I was one of those kids who was not allowed to leave the table until I had eaten “five bites of chicken, five spoons of potatoes and five green… Read More Stuffed Peppers
So you’ve been invited to another backyard cookout and don’t know what to bring. I stumbled across the most fabulous and EASY recipe last summer. The Mediterranean Baked Feta from Smitten Kitchen was totally decadent. My in-laws and their guests devoured it. None of them are huge feta fans, but when you roast it, the texture… Read More Grilled Feta with Honey and Za’atar
Last year I planned pretty poorly for Passover meals. We had Matzo Lasagna twice which isn’t a bad thing but it showed how little I actually planned. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? Just avoid most grains, eat lots of lean proteins and veggies. Should be a paleo dream week. But for some reason, I… Read More Greek Matzo Casserole for Passover (or any time!)
Okay, new year resolution time, right? Me? I never make it more than a few weeks with those, so I typically just say something like, “I’m going to try to do better with X this year.” Be it fitness, healthy eating, house keeping, etc., I do always try SOMETHING. But usually, after a few weeks,… Read More Thai Style Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Every year, Chef J and I throw a big pork-themed party that we’ve dubbed Porkstravaganza. Everyone brings a dish to share with one caveat. Whatever anyone brings MUST include some sort of pork product. We’ve had Bacon Bombs, Pork Belly Biscuits, Little Porky Tacos, Maple Bacon Cupcakes and everything in between. It’s gotten pretty competitive… Read More Porkstravaganza – Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
You know how you are always getting those offers of a “free” trial to those meal delivery kit services? Well a friend of mine was going on and on about how she loved her HelloFresh membership and asked if anyone wanted a free box. So of course, I bit. I didn’t know what to expect… Read More Thai Chicken Patties
Okay, I get it. We are all on a budget these days. And I’ve been eating healthier lately which is a LOT more expensive than eating convenience food. For a while I was spending less and less at the grocery while my waistline grew and grew from all of the delicious carbs and convenience food… Read More Fancy Schmanzy on the Cheap – Stuffed Pork Roulades
