Recipes that fall somewhere between basic and fancy from a Texpat living in New York.
Paula Deen can keep her butter queen title - I'll be the queen of cream cheese. And this is the recipe that made it so. After all we have a long history together. Years ago I went to summer horse riding camp with my childhood bff and some other frien (read full article)
* This pic is actually of a roasted portabello stuffed with artichokes and fresh mozzarella that I served over an arugula salad. I didn't include the recipe because I thought the artichoke dominated the dish and made my wine taste like pee. Boo:(West (read full article)

Did you know you could put cheddar cheese in pasta? It's really not that crazy when you think about it. A good sharp aged cheddar, which is what you want here, isn't that different in texture from Parmesan or Asiago. A ladle full of pasta water to he (read full article)
Spring Pasta with Brie and Basil* Keeping the brie cold before adding it to the pasta will help keep it from all melting/sticking together when you add it to the hot pan. It's also much easier to cut into cubes when chilled.Ingredients:1 tablespoon o (read full article)
This time change is killing me. Between that, the rain, and not being at SXSW, I'm not a happy camper. Good thing I made a boatload of this pasta last night. It'll cure what ails you. Seriously, this is worth getting into a bad mood for just so you h (read full article)
Whole wheat pasta and I are becoming friends. It's all very high school - I hated it on first site but over time think we actually might be bffs. At the very least I've figured out I don't mind the texture when paired with cream sauces and sauteed ve (read full article)
As promised - my Valentine's Day dinner - a little late...This meal is a knockout. Filet Mignon is a treat and what I was going for on Valentine's Day but this marinade would probably be even better with a skirt or flank steak. These two dishes - the (read full article)
Every now and then, I stumble on an ingredient that makes me believe that if push came to shove, I could survive as a vegetarian. I know mushrooms are the poster child for this (as the closest vegetable to meat in spirit) but for me it's the artichok (read full article)
I make it on Sunday afternoon, sipping a nice Ripasso as I chop, simmer, and stir.Dalton, my youngest and the only child to ever win the USCF Chess Championship, runs up to the stove dipping a spoon into the sauce. "Delicious, Mom," he says. "Lidia B (read full article)
Do you hate lamb? Find it odd and game-y, do you? I hear you. I used to be one of those people. Then I learned that by choosing the right cut of lamb (the once in a blue moon, top of the line lamb chops, thank you) or by 'cutting' it with a more fami (read full article)
Who else is already overwhelmed by the most precious season of the year?Luckily, I do feel the Christmas spirit alive and well within my heart, but Good Lord the holiday seems like more to manage than ever before for some reason this year. Tell me if (read full article)
I know. I'm feeding you pasta twice in one week. But that's how the cookie crumbled so you will eat your pasta and like it! Actually, that might not be true. If you don't like zuchinni - you obviously won't like this pasta. But when I went to the sta (read full article)
It's funny that while I was making this dish, I was praying Kris wouldn't drift into the kitchen asking me what was for dinner. For some reason I thought I'd scare him into ordering take out with the site of artichokes and ground turkey spread out on (read full article)
Giada's newest show - Giada at Home - has failed to wow me. Too many sandwiches. Too many rehashed recipes from her previous shows. Too many sweets.But now and then, she'll kick out a gem that reminds me why I fell in love with her in the first place (read full article)
