I recently listened to Alton Brown’s podcast interview with Gaby Dalkin. I found her conversational skills lacking, but was drawn to her website, which is an incredible stockpile of recipes, and meal plans. Since completing Whole30, I’ve been trying to do more meal prep for the week. While W30 didn’t work for me, I learnedContinue reading “Alien invasion? Nope, just dinner”

Orange & Kale Salad with Spicy Tahini Dressing
I recreated a recipe that was in my last Blue Apron box with a few modifications. Having made it before, I knew this would give me a good opportunity to get a shot for my #365project #photoaday.#firebreathinggarlic Here’s the recipe with my modifications: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 3 ounces radishes (I went a littleContinue reading “Orange & Kale Salad with Spicy Tahini Dressing”
Bloody Mary Soup
What do you do when you have half a gallon of Bloody Mary mix left over after a brunch? Make soup of course. #365project #photoaday #warmsoupcoldnight
What a delicious week!
Thanks to a couple of wonderful girlfriends I was gifted a few weeks of #BlueApron. This is NOT a paid endorsement. Certainly, if they want to, I wouldn’t say no. This week I made chicken & orange kale salad, steak & roasted broccoli, and tonight was the orange glazed meatballs (sans rice and I forgotContinue reading “What a delicious week!”
one of those days
It was 50 degrees when I got up this morning with a high of 60. Tomorrow evening we are supposed to get back down to the 20’s with another winter storm coming in. My downstairs neighbor keeps their apartment so warm, I had to turn on my air conditioning today! And my office is… I’veContinue reading “one of those days”
what’s for dinner?
I don’t think I eat anything all that special, strange, or different, but with startling regularity, someone really makes me wonder. My parents were foodies before there was such a thing; going to cooking schools and coming home to experiment on me. I was the last child and they were trying to find something theyContinue reading “what’s for dinner?”
FEAST on fresh, homemade pasta
I finally hit a wall and went into work on Saturday to say I was taking (most of) Sunday off. Just knowing I was going to have a day free to do whatever was a big relief. Saturdays at the distillery, the girls and I have gotten in the habit of closing up shop andContinue reading “FEAST on fresh, homemade pasta”
dinner for one
When the gentleman caller (here forward GC) and I were out the other day, I mentioned how cooking for one gets a little boring. I buy a bunch of veggies and something to go along with said veggies and I make variations on a theme for a week. then I realized I hadn’t posted myContinue reading “dinner for one”
I’ll take Nookie for $100
Last year for my birthday, I gave myself a cooking class as my gift. We all have those things we fear or are too intimidated to tackle. I had heard so many horror stories about making gnocchi that I certainly wasn’t going to try it without a little hand holding. Caprial & John offer cookingContinue reading “I’ll take Nookie for $100”
I kept eating and eating…
The community dinners are a thing of wonder and delight. It’s constantly amazing how when you say potluck, people make awesome stuff they would rarely make any other day. And when that potluck is on St Patrick’s Day, well you know it’s going to be stuff they really only make once a year. I madeContinue reading “I kept eating and eating…”
