    Arancini – or what to do with leftover risotto

    So you stirred, and stirred, and stirred until you thought your elbow was going to fall off. But then you dipped your spoon into a bowl of your creamy risotto and realized why you put so much effort into making it from scratch. It’s pure comfort in a bowl. It’s like the rice absorbed all […]

    Braised Chicken and Mushroom Risotto

    It is so chilly on the West coast (I know, 49 degrees is not cold but I have never had “snow days” so I can complain about needing to wear a scarf and gloves). Nothing warms me better than comfort food – mmm, mashed potatoes, potpies, biscuits and gravy, stews. I’m already starting to feel […]

    Galette, Galette

    Galette. Like rhymes with barrette or ballet? I might not know how to pronounce it but I do know how to eat it. These yummy packets of savory deliciousness are also known as rustic tarts. They’re super easy to make once you have the dough. I often make a couple batches of dough and freeze […]

    Breakfast Fried Rice, a family staple

    Breakfast Fried Rice, a family staple

    Ever since munchkin started eating solids, rice has been the starch option for the majority of our dinners. I make it at night for our dinner and then use the leftovers for her favorite breakfast: steamed rice and eggs (often with spinach or other greens in the eggs). (pro tip: steamed rice freezes perfectly. Put […]

    Green Bean Casserole – another Thanksgiving staple

    Casseroles seemed so nasty as a kid. It was a hodgepodge of veggies and some meat mixed with cream of something soup and then baked. But that actually sounds delicious. It is an easy one-pot meal that was a staple growing up. I’m not sure who thought up the green bean casserole as a side […]

    Another post without photos – Pumpkin Pie

    Ok, like I mentioned in the cranberry sauce post, I’m trying to get all my favorite recipes for Thanksgiving in here. And this is one of my favorite Pumpkin Pie recipes. WARNING: if you don’t like spicy pies, this recipe isn’t for you. There’s plenty of cinnamon and ginger to make your pumpkin (and your […]

    Thanksgiving Stuffing

    Our family has always called that yummy bread dish that so deliciously compliments the Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing. I don’t recall it ever being actually in the bird, though. And so, technically we are wrong. It should be called dressing. But we aren’t changing and neither is this very basic recipe (with the small exception for […]

    No picture but the BEST cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving

    No picture but the BEST cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving

    Although the next few posts will be sans photos, they are my most favorite recipes for Thanksgiving. We’re having Thanksgiving in Hawaii this year (I know, poor babies). So, I thought: why not post all my favs here and refer to them when we get to Hawaii when the cooking commences? Cranberry sauce was ALWAYS […]

    Grilled Steelhead Trout

    I’m still learning and experimenting on the Weber Genesis. Well, to be truthful, I haven’t ventured beyond the brined pork chops, steaks and hot dogs. For many reasons, I get nervous cooking other proteins on the grill. Like what if they aren’t fully cooked? And worse, what if they’re overcooked. And if we’re talking fish? […]

    Pot Pie (aka Leftover Haven)

    Ever since I was a kid, pot pies have graced our dinner table. In the early 80s, they came piping hot out of the oven dressed in silver – doughy bowls wrapped in aluminum tins filled with turkey, carrots, peas and possibly a cube of potato or two swimming in milky gravy and topped with […]
