To say that I wasn’t looking forward to making these cookies would be an understatement. Peanut butter, bleh. And uncooked? It just didn’t sound good to me at all. Thanks to Baked Sunday Mornings, I set out to tackle another recipe that I probably would have never tried in the first place. The cookies aren’t [...]

It happens every time I pull out my copy of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way to make our favorite turkey chili. We do a quick browse through the book and find yet another recipe to make out of there. That’s how this skillet pie came about. This isn’t one of those dishes that’s impressive [...]
This is barely a recipe – it’s more of a general technique that can be adjusted to suit the season and your mood. I didn’t use flounder – there wasn’t any at the farmer’s market. I asked for something comparable, and I think they gave me sole. It’s a slightly firm, mild white fish – [...]
This pizza is proof of the versatility of the dough from Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day. It’s the same dough we used for the scallion flatbread – not just the same recipe, but from the exact batch. I pulled off a hunk, shaped it into a ball, and rolled it out [...]
Super quick dinner, especially if everything is prepped ahead of time. I had picked out a similar recipe from another magazine, but then realized I had made it before. And we didn’t love it. Luckily I found an alternative that didn’t require any more shopping (endorsement for keeping certain staples on hand – red bell [...]
A quick weeknight dinner, these eggs can be made very quickly using pre-made marinara sauce. I actually used the leftover tomato sauce I’d made up for pizza – just dressed-up canned, crushed tomatoes, but a high-quality store-bought brand would work fine. The marinara is added to cooked onion and garlic (and pancetta, if you’d like), [...]
I don’t know who Elise is but I like her noodles. No surprise, since I’ll pretty much gobble up any noodles. These were perfect for this week since cold sesame noodles aren’t Larry’s favorite, and he’s out of town. So I get to eat whatever I want for the next few days. The recipe calls [...]
I got to join a group of food bloggers for dinner in San Francisco so Larry was on his own for dinner. He made up this quick sauté using a sweet Italian sausage and and a Braeburn apple. He liked it, nice flavors but he thought the sure of ketchup and mustard was a little [...]
My kitchen is finally (barely) functional. Meaning I’ve got a working range, dishwasher and sink. The range has been working for a week, but with no sink, I haven’t used it for anything but heating up hot water for tea. We’ve still got some painting and cleanup to do before we start moving everything back [...]
These pita sandwiches come together quickly, especially when dinner is a team effort. Larry worked on the bean filling while I chopped ingredients and made up the chipotle mayo. The filling is vegan but the mayo isn’t, although it could easily be modified. We loved these, and Larry asked for another batch of the black [...]
