A man, A kitchen, A mission
Decided I needed some salad the other day and when I looked in the fridge, found a head of cabbage. Time for some cole slaw.
1/2 head of cabbage sliced thin and chopped
1/2 cup of miracle whip (I like my slaw a little sweet)
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 Anaheim Pepper
salt
pepper
2 T of a pesto like herb […]
After a trip to the Farmer’s Market last weekend, I had a bounty of great vegetables. So, it was time for a veggie frittata.
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 orange bell pepper
1/2 pound asparagus
2 cups whole spinach leaves
3 small red new potatoes (cooked)
2 jalapena peppers
1 anaheim pepper
I sauted everything but the spinach in some olive oil […]
The fam was watching the food channel and I was working in the other room. In passing I hear discussion of cookies that have been spiced up. Inspiration born. Off to the kitchen to see what’s available. Cocoa, yes. Chocolate chips, yes. Mexican chocolate, yes! Ground chipotle, yes. Now that I’ve determined I have something […]
I had picked up some cheap flat beef the other day and was trying to decide what to do with it, and then I remembered that my mother used to make swiss steak. Cheap, hardy meals were the plan so I figured some thin round steak or similar was what she used. It also had […]
Nothing is better on a cold day than fresh bread. Even if that bread is focaccia. I was scanning new blog, stephencooks and couldn’t help but try this recipe. While I’m no stranger to baking bread, I’m basically too lazy to make it very often. This recipe seems easy enough to make in between all […]
While I may not find the time to bake bread, there’s always time for cookies. After 25 years of making banana bread with leftover bananas, I was never more happy than when my mom sent me a Banana Cookie recipe. Of course, being the good son, I made one batch and immediately decided I needed […]
When you make custard ice cream, you end up with a lot of left over egg whites. So, I made some Angel Food cake to use up the egg whites instead of wasting them. I’m a huge fan/user of the Cook’s Illustrated web site. I get their magazine and subscribe to their online recipes. Other […]
Home made ice cream is always a treat. And, one I refuse to skimp on ingredients. Ice cream should be fattening and rich tasting. So rich, a small dollop is all you need. It should coat the tongue with creamy delight. My favorite recipe is from Alton Brown and his Good Eats show on the […]
Today, I’m cooking for 16 of my wife’s co-w0rker and spouses. While I think the last word to describe either of us would be fancy, sometimes it’s nice to cook something a little more sophisticated than lasagna or jambalaya. So, I decided it would be nice to do a sit down dinner and serve everything […]
I must admit, I was never more shocked that when my 10 an 8 year old daughters pronounced the curry chicken dish I made, was freakin’ delicious. Needless to say, it’s been added to the dinner rotation.
Curry Chicken
1+ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thigh
1 large onion, chopped or sliced into fairly decent sized pieces
5 good sized […]
