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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
So tonight I made Tofu and Red Peppers and I was thinking that, instead of having the normal teryaki noodles or whatever that we normally have, I’d have some steamed bok choy with some sauce. And then I got to thinking, as healthy as that would be, I’d probably be hungry again in about 10 [...]
This food is not much to look at – baked fish and rice means white food. They are tasty though! These recipes are another attempt at some healthy cooking. Both recipes come from the Low Fat Moosewoods cookbook, a relic from my vegetarian days. I should get back into that a little more often, only [...]
This is a recipe from Cooking Light. The first time I made this, I had a little stomach thing going on, so I didn’t eat but a bowl of it, but let me tell you… you know Popeye’s red beans and rice? And how I’m sure they’re full of gross and disgusting and [...]
Yes, another Rachael Ray recipe. When it comes to the land of “easy eats,” her 30 minute skillz cannot be beat. (Oh god that was rhyming? I need to stop teaching poetry. Anyway.) I’m not saying all of her recipes are good (there are lots that aren’t, and some that [...]
