We were planning on going out to dinner tonight. I thought I’d whip up this tasty cabbage and bean dish before while I was waiting for Larry to get home since I’ve been looking for ways to use up one last head of cabbage from the farmshare. It’s a deceptively simple dish, kind of like [...]

These cupcakes are the perfect everyday chocolate cupcake. Moist, tender, with a nice poofy top. They can be whipped up in a blender, or with a whisk in a bowl (which is how I made them). The buttercream is a solid performer. Yes, it’s got Marshmallow Fluff in it. But it’s good, it’s fast, and [...]
I suppose this dish would be fine for breakfast, but I served it for dinner. It’s an indulgent riff on bacon and eggs with toast and feels particularly naughty with all of the articles and blog posts on healthy eating and detox flying around right now. Shredded Brussels sprouts are cooked with some cream, shallots [...]
These cupcakes are perfect for last-minute baking. A quick whirl in the blender, and the frosting can be made while the cupcakes are baking. Sweetened condensed milk and a bit of corn syrup in the buttercream makes it easy to work with and pretty much foolproof. Oh, and more important – they’re really good, too! [...]
Larry was off at a planning commission meeting tonight, so I made myself dinner… trying to finish using up more of the greens. Almost there, but there’s still enough left for another batch of beans & greens. Speaking of which, this dish is pretty similar to my standard greens recipe. In fact, I added a [...]
Jay was over for Sunday dinner – I try to do fish on Sundays as much as possible, mainly because it’s healthy but also because that’s what Jay likes to eat! This salmon was excellent. I loved it, even though it was fully of mushrooms. Shiitakes aren’t so bad because the texture isn’t so chewy [...]
Excellent quick dinner tonight – the cumin rub is really good on the chicken thighs. Spiced-Up Grilled Chicken Thighs with Cumin and Coriander (The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great, p. 248) Roasted Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes and Oregano (The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great, p. 268)
This was a late dinner, but I wanted to make this test recipe before I missed the deadline for the feedback period. Wow, was this chicken good! We both loved it. It came together in under an hour. I had planned to make polenta and a salad with the chicken, but it was getting so [...]
These shrimp were very good and really quick to make, but I think they would have been better if I would have uses shell-off shrimp for the soak in the brine. Larry loved the green beans (he was craving Chinese long beans), but they were a little spicy for me. Plumped Ginger-Caramel Shrimp (The Splendid [...]
I’ve been wanting to buy the new cookbook “How to Eat Supper” ever since Larry picked it up from the library. This is the type of cookbook that really appeals to me. I read it cover-to-cover and marked a ton of recipes I want to try. This is the first dish I’ve made from it, [...]
