Last weekend we went out of town to visit family and I brought my camera. I didn’t even take it out of the case the entire weekend, but still managed to leave it at my aunt’s house. So, for the time being I will be using my iPhone to document my food. This does bring [...]

Houston received quite a bit of rain on Monday, and so that morning I began looking for good rainy day meals. Of course soup came to mind, but then I came across this recipe for a chicken and chickpea stew on Epicurious. The recipe is simple. Sauteed veggies mixed with chicken in a simple chicken [...] The lovely aroma of fresh ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions and cilantro filled my kitchen when I made these for dinner a few nights ago. Those ingredients alone make my mouth water. I am almost always up for Chinese or Thai food, but thinking about how a lot of that stuff is prepared makes [...] I haven’t been making meals at home much lately. Lots of taking out, going out, vacation foods and eating holiday meals. I’m trying to get back into meal planning, buying groceries for the week and hopefully feeling better. We need to make the change from restaurant fare to home cooked meals. That is my resolution [...] Once it starts to cool down just a touch, as in highs in the 80′s or so, I find that it is time for roasting vegetables at every possible chance. I saw this recipe in the October issue of Martha Stewart, and immediately added the ingredients to my grocery list. I changed a few things.

Greek food is something I could eat everyday and not get sick of. If I wanted something light, I could have a refreshing Greek salad loaded with tomatoes, cucumbers, [...] This vegetarian dish can stand alone as the main meal, or it can be served as a side dish. I served this alongside some grilled chicken. When I asked Ben if he’d be OK eating a vegetarian dinner or if he wanted chicken, well, you know what he said. If I were to serve this [...] The slow cooker gets a bad rap sometimes. But not every meal that comes out of it has to be mediocre or full of cream-of-whatever soups. I am currently in search of good crock pot recipes, and while I have had a couple mishaps, some of the meals I’ve made have been worth repeating. This [...] Oh, meatloaf. Loved by many, despised by some. Or is it the other way around? I like meatloaf. I always have. My mom used to make one in a pie plate that was topped with ketchup and lemon slices and baked in the microwave. Yes, the microwave. I have very fond memories of that dish. [...] The only part of this recipe that you have to cook is the couscous. Couscous, as you may or may not know, is one of the simplest things to prepare. Boil water, add couscous, stir, turn off heat, cover, wait for 5 minutes. That’s it. I don’t think it gets much simpler than that. Adding [...] |
