This is so easy to make and so delicious that I hope you try it. And asparagus is just coming into seasons. And before you ask, or at least wonder to yourself, here’s how you can alter it to a diet specific recipe…Yes you can use milk instead of cream but it will not beContinue reading “Asparagus and Roquefort Soup (Mhm, that’s right)”

Asparagus and Roquefort Soup (Mhm, that’s right)
This is so easy to make and so delicious that I hope you try it. And asparagus is just coming into seasons. And before you ask, or at least wonder to yourself, here’s how you can alter it to a diet specific recipe…Yes you can use milk instead of cream but it will not beContinue reading “Asparagus and Roquefort Soup (Mhm, that’s right)”
Baked Macaroni with Caramelized Cauliflower and Two Cheeses (yum!)
Okay. So this is really delicious. How delicious is it, you may ask? Well if you notice in the servings I wrote that it makes either four small or two large portions. When I first put it in the oven I looked at it and thought it would easily serve four, but when it cameContinue reading “Baked Macaroni with Caramelized Cauliflower and Two Cheeses (yum!)”

Rice with Fish and Other Good Things…
Okay. So this is good. Really good. Delicious, if I do say so. It’s also relatively easy to make. And of course this recipe–like most that I post here–is not carved in stone. It’s intended to be more of a guide. Interchange, add, or delete ingredients or seasonings that you like, don’t like, orContinue reading “Rice with Fish and Other Good Things…”

Seven is the lucky number…
This is one of my favorite loaves of bread and it is so easy to make. The beauty of it is that it only has seven ingredients, and–unlike most supermarket breads–all of the ingredients are easily recognizable and understandable. If you want to get real bare-bones you can pare this recipe down to just fourContinue reading “Seven is the lucky number…”

A well educated beet…
This is a really simple recipe that is really bursting with flavor…it’s basically a sweet-and-sour vegetable recipe. The beets, after being peeled and sliced or diced, are cooked in a water-vinegar-sugar solution, and then the liquid is thickened with cornstarch. There’s a couple interesting theories on the name of this recipe. One is that itContinue reading “A well educated beet…”

Rice-and-Beans…but bread
Yup, it’s true…rice-and-beans, but made into bread. I, as you likely know, eat a lot of bread. So I often try different combinations to make a healthier bread. Some say that rice-and-beans are a perfect food. Well, I’m not so sure about that, but they are really good. Anyhow, this recipe is not unlike myContinue reading “Rice-and-Beans…but bread”

Spicy, Baked, and Cheesy (Yum!)
So here is another recipe that is super easy to make but bursting with flavor. It’s really just a sort of Mediterranean-style macaroni-and-cheese. The key flavor techniques are browning the vegetables (making a sort of sofrito), reducing the chicken broth for concentrated flavor, and allowing the pasta to finish cooking in the sauce so itContinue reading “Spicy, Baked, and Cheesy (Yum!)”

Vegetable Broth!
I’ve been experimenting with vegetable broth recipes for a while now, for days when I choose to not eat meat, which has been becoming more and more frequent. This is not meant to be a vegetarian substitute or imitation of a meat-based broth because nothing can substitute the richness of a well made chicken orContinue reading “Vegetable Broth!”

More Experiments with Bean Curd…Kung Pao Tofu (a variation on a theme)
So this is really a variation on a few levels. One is that it is sort of a variation of this tofu recipe, and another is that it is a variation–or my interpretation–of Kung Pao Chicken. How this recipe is different from the original Kung Pao Chicken is that I of course replaced the chickenContinue reading “More Experiments with Bean Curd…Kung Pao Tofu (a variation on a theme)”
Kibbeh (cru et cuit)
Ok, so to some this may be a bit odd…raw meat. Yup, that’s what one version of this famous Lebanese dish is; raw lamb and bulgar wheat (pictured above). In it’s raw form it is referred to as kibbeh nayeh; think of it as a sort of Middle Eastern steak tartare. When I was aContinue reading “Kibbeh (cru et cuit)”
Kim-Chi (again)
Okay. So this is one of those recipes that I’ve either posted multiple times or offered different variations of it. It’s just so delicious and so good for you and so easy to make that I feel I have to post it again. All you have to do is mix the ingredients together and waitContinue reading “Kim-Chi (again)”
Whole Grain Sesame Crackers…
These are really simple to make…5 minutes to mix the dough and 15 minutes to bake them. And they are a really tasty and healthy treat with a long shelf life (but they’ll disappear pretty quickly). Anyhow, if you are in the mood for something a little different to make but still easy at theContinue reading “Whole Grain Sesame Crackers…”
