This was a simply great, quick dish adapted from Cooking Light. If you catch shrimp on sale, it’s practically frugal as well… The idea for tonight was fire, sun, warmth and brightness. This fit the bill quite well.
1/2 lb fettuccine, cooked to package directions and drained (really, start cooking it as soon as you start [...]
I whipped this up together quickly one night when I didn’t really feel like cooking. Served with some creamy noodles (thanks, Lipton in a bag) and some green beans, it was easy and tasty. To cook the beans, I just pushed the finished shrimp to the side and cooked the beans with some seasoned salt [...]
Now, these will never top the wonderful confection that graced this site in my early days, but they literally took about 30 seconds to prepare and were done in 20 minutes. This makes them fantastic in my book.
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbs melted butter
2 Tbs cinnamon
Unfold puff pastry, and spread melted [...]

In addition to having a funny name, this was one of the easiest things I’ve made for dinner in a long time. We had it with some Thai seasoned green beans from Trader Joe’s. Next time, I might use garlic chile paste instead of the chopped chile. I could have dealt with a much stronger [...]
Alrighty, I’m back. Sorry for being out of comission there for awhile. Hope I didn’t lose too many people! To make up for being gone so long, I’m going to post for the next four days in a row. Maybe even more, if I start cooking again this weekend.
So, this recipe is a modified Cooking [...]

Happy New Year! Have you guys heard about this apparent tradition of eating black eyed peas on New Years? I have never heard of such a thing… in my house growing up, it was always saurkraut, which is not my thing. I’m pretty sure black eyed peas aren’t my thing either. Maybe refried beans. Do [...]

The Polish get such a bad rap. How can you crack on a people that combines pasta with mashed potatoes? Yeesh. Throw some bacon in there, and you have serious comfort food, too. This was great, and it took about the time to make that it took the pierogies to boil. This is tagged as [...]

This dinner came together in the amount of time it took the pasta to finish cooking. It was super simple, and really delicious!
1 lb boneless chicken breasts
1 Tbs lime juice
1/2 lb linguine, cooked to package directions
1 c. scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
2 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs sesame oil
Generous pinch of sugar
1/4 [...]
This recipe came together very quickly and was good! I underestimated how long it would take the egg noodles to cook and ended up letting the stroganoff sit while they finished. You could really start the water boiling as soon as you start the sausage cooking, and everything would probably be done at the same [...]

I originally planned on marinating this chicken only in teryaki sauce, only to discover that we had about 1/4 c. left in the jar. (Unsponsored plug, by the way, for Soy Vay, the best teryaki sauce I have ever had.) So I had to improvise. I marinated the chicken in a hodgepodge of what I [...]
