Recipes that fall somewhere between basic and fancy from a Texpat living in New York.
This is the ironic T shirt of salads. Two slices of the ripest, heaviest heirlooms you can get your hands on sandwiched between ricotta and goat cheese. Top the whole thing off with a little pesto oil and you're done (by the way this salad is kind of (read full article)
These are for the times when you want to eat 'healthy' but only in the not-calling-out-for-pizza sense of the word. Residual 1990's fat gram counting guilt aside, these are damned delicious. Pour yourself a glass of something cold and zingy and sit d (read full article)
Cream cheese and I are old friends. Back in the day when I first started cooking, I discovered its magic in desserts like pound cakes and pastry crust. When I got confident enough to entertain with food, I put it in these fantastically white trash ch (read full article)
After being seduced by Food and Wine Magazine, I went out and bought another cookbook - Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights. Sophie Dahl is the granddaughter of my favorite childhood (and adult) writer - Roald Dahl. My mom must have read me every one of (read full article)
Basil and red pepper flakes keep this gratin from being just another gratin. I love the bite the pepper flakes give the otherwise mellow cauliflower, but you can omit them if you're not a fan. Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin with Crunchy Breadcrumb Crust* (read full article)
This is the most delicious thing I've made in months. I knew I was onto something when I drooled a little just pulling the raw chicken from the marinade, but holy hell this is delicious. I'm not even sure I what I like better - the chicken or the ric (read full article)
I know, I know - no picture. But trust me, the one I took was so ugly I couldn't bring myself to share it. The battery was dying on my camera and my husband was starving, so I snapped a quick one in low light. The end result had a horror movie qualit (read full article)
This is so damn satisfying and filling and luscious that I wouldn't believe it was so healthful unless I had watched my own two hands put it together. I had to bite my tongue before dinner to refrain from telling my husband how ridiculously good for (read full article)
These are so good I dream about them. Even Kris, who finds sweet potatoes 'stringy', loves them. No time to write more today. Love you though.Baked Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary CreamIngredients:3 small or 2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and dried2 ta (read full article)
Before you read this post, if you need a brief escape from the world, go to youtube and search for 'Jimmy Dean Sausage complaint' (I tried to link it here but my site is being hormonal.) I was just in Texas and saw a woman walking her dogs with a bra (read full article)
What would Halloween be without Charles Schulz's classic animated feature - It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!This little short has been a part of my life since I can remember. I'll never forget the thrill of waiting for it on TV when I was littl (read full article)
Life is funny sometimes. I spent my first 30 years hating rice. It's not like it ever did anything to me or that I got sick after eating it - I just didn't care for it. It was plain, expected, and just kind of sat there, which is why any time I was a (read full article)
I made this chicken up the other night and I think it's a nice twist on plain old chicken cutlets. What's interesting is - you get that lovely mellow orange flavor with just a touch of sweetness, reminiscent of Orange Beef from Chinese takeout, but t (read full article)
This side dish is quick and versatile. You can use frozen corn in the winter months (about a heaping cup) or even add or swap out fresh green beans that have been trimmed and steamed in a plastic covered, heat proof bowl in the microwave for 2 minut (read full article)
Kris asked me the other day how restaurants manage to get all of their dishes out at the same time. I told him I had no idea, but remembered from my short stint as an (atrocious) waitress in high school, that many things were cooked partially ahead o (read full article)
Today is my dad's birthday. And while he wasn't quite the culinary influence in my life that my mom was, I give him due credit in fulfilling another part of my foodie development. The man LOVES food - particularly meat and potatoes - but surprisingly (read full article)
Wow. That's all I can say about this one. Imagine the lush texture of roasted peaches and sweetly caramelized red onions sitting alongside a perfectly roasted chicken breast that has bathed in a red pepper and garlic olive oil bath - skin crisped and (read full article)
I haven't forgotten about you. You are very much in my thoughts. I've just been swamped with work (about to leave for a month-long shoot) AND moving apartments. In fact, I've been putting off posting because I am so eager to get into my new kitchen! (read full article)
