Shrimp and Pork Dumplings
Oh my delicousness, you guys! Just as it starts to get cold outside, my body craves hot, brothy, noodley soups. And this one is absolutely perfect for the occasion. BTW, did you know that John Legend’s wife, Chrissy T has her own cooking/food blog and is ready to release a cookbook? I’m not normally a…

The Best Potato Salad Recipe
I have to admit it. I’m the picnic-er who always passes on the potato salad (I also always want to spell potato with an “e” but that’s a whole other post). It’s just not appealing to me to eat mayo and cold, smashed potatoes and pickles in one dish. That is until I ate…

Kinda Chinese Tofu and Eggplant
It’s a bit healthy and a bit savory but really good and great with fried rice or just steamed rice. It has some of the flavors of a Chinese dish (soy, ginger and garlic) but it’s not as oily as most Chinese veggies dishes I’ve had. Give it a try. Even the hubby liked it!…

A little Mexi/Jamaican Meal
I haven’t been to Jamaica. There’s my disclaimer. But, I love a restaurant in the city called Patio. I was craving those flavors but didn’t want jerk chicken. I wanted stewed chicken. So, I made this up. Stewed Cumin Chicken with onions and tomatoes * 2 whole chicken legs (thigh and drumstick) * 1 red…

Beef Bourguignon
It’s rainy and cold outside. It’s my favorite weather for slow cooked Beef Bourguignon. Not only is it a rather easy dish to prepare, it fills the house with comforting smells and warmth from the oven 🙂 Try it out and let me know what you think. Beef Bourguignon serves about 6 * 2 lbs…

Thanksgiving Leftover
What did you do with your leftover turkey? We boiled the carcass with some water, carrots, parsley and half an onion for 2 hours. After draining the stock, we were left with 3 and a half quarts of roasted turkey stock. Two of those quarts went into the freezer and the other one and a…

Last Year’s Turkey: Hoping to recreate the magic
So last year, I BBQ’d the turkey. It was ah-maze-ing. Truly. It was golden and juicy. Even the white meat was delicious (I’m a dark meat kinda girl but dang the whole bird was so good). Of course, I didn’t document the recipe. So, I’m going to make one up/partially remember and jot it down.…

Making Room In the Fridge For Thanksgiving
We often have remnants of veggie odds and ends in our crisper. I’ll usually make a quick soup with the veggies, broth and some thyme and oregano. It’s a family staple. But I thought I’d try something new since I also had a bunch of eggs from the girls (our chickens). This is also a…
