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 [...]
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 [...]

A Cooking Light recipe. The husband wanted to try out some new vegetarian meals, so this was on the list as something I’ve wanted to try for awhile but hadn’t gotten around to. I thought the tofu could use some extra jazzing up, but it’s tofu so… I’d probably add some black bean paste or [...]

This is my first post with the Tuesday’s with Dorie group. Whoo hoo! This week’s choice was Arborio rice pudding, either vanilla or chocolate. Seeing as how no one in the house is a huge fan of rice pudding to begin with, I thought I’d try the chocolate variation and see if I couldn’t get [...]

This recipe came from somewhere, so it is not mine originally, but I made so many adaptations and it was really simple to begin with, so I don’t feel bad as saying the original recipe was simply inspiration and nothing else. On another note, I’ve had quite a few chatters using the feature at the [...]
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 [...]
I love the crock pot. I love it even more when I just leave a note for my husband sitting on his desk and I come home to a meal that is done. I garnished this with a little cilantro, but probably should not have, as the flavor of the cilantro was quite strong in [...]

I had everything ready tonight to make Chicken and Biscuits, and I just wasn’t feeling it. We’ve had a sick cat, some family issues (send good vibes!) and I’ve been battling a cold, and warm, gravy floated chicken just wasn’t rocking my boat tonight. This post was discovered quite by accident while I was trying [...]

Whoo, alliteration! That’s the English teacher/major/dork coming out in me. Tonight’s photo is brought to you by my new camera, which I love and will soon run away with. This recipe is adapted from a fellow food blogger’s recipe at What’s For Lunch Honey? Next time, I will probably use less coconut milk, and [...]

This was the first meal I made at our new house when we moved in over a year ago. It’s easy, it’s fairly fast, and all the parts are nicely timed to cook while you prep and then cook the other one. It does use three pans, which breaks me when dinner is done, but [...]
