Who loves Pad Thai? We do! Every sauce-soaked noodle, crunchy peanut, fresh cilantro and lime part of it! Spicy? Yes, but not scorched-earth spicy (a.k.a. Thai hot), I prefer just-gets-your-attention spicy, somewhere around medium, please. I’m not looking for a bead of sweat to form on my brow unless I’m trying to finish a [...]

Helen’s Chicken Soup: A Bowl of Comfort
A good friend is one who shows up on your door step with a pot of soup when they know you could use a little TLC. I have such friends, which is how I discovered this comforting chicken soup. My friend, Helen, knew I was sick so she did what we’ve all done—she pulled together [...]
Orange Balsamic Glazed Ribs ~ Banish the Ho-Hums!
I don’t know about you, but I can get into a ho-hum kind of food funk, the uninspired we’re having tacos again kind of rut where dinner is just another task marking the conclusion of another day. Nothing savored, no flashes of cooking brilliance, no mmm lingering in the air. Like having a favorite color, mmm [...]
Curry-Spiced Roasted Butternut Squash & Curry-Spiced Butternut Squash Soup
It’s been so long now do you even remember the curry adventure we began months ago with Basic Chicken Curry? What about the Beef Massaman? Oh, I hope so. Curry-Spiced Roasted Butternut Squash & Curry-Spiced Butternut Squash Soup is a two-fer, two recipes that can be meshed into one or enjoyed separately, but ultimately inviting [...]
Pecan & Maple Balsamic Bacon
I know bacon recipes have almost become cliché on food blogs, but bacon captures attention like a bride walking down the aisle—no one turns away, all eyes are where they’re supposed to be … on the bacon recipe. Can the love of bacon be strong enough to handle one more? Yes. Besides, this isn’t all [...]
Turkey-Vegetable Tetrazzini: Healthier, Gluten-Free Recipe
Turkey sandwiches are no cancellation prize around our house after Thanksgiving, built on leftover dinner rolls makes them even better. Beyond the sought-after sandwich, there are the remaining bits and pieces to be gathered for soup or casserole dishes and for reasons I haven’t yet figured out, there is something about using every last scrap [...]
Beef Curry: Massaman Style
The curry adventure continues … Before we shift gears and start thinking about roasted turkeys and holiday baking next week, it seemed only fitting to follow-up curried fowl with a little curried cow. It was a lot of fun sharing the Basic Chicken Curry recipe and my notes from the curry class with you [...]
Basic Chicken Curry: Unlocking the Mystery
Forget everything you know about spices. Forget that cinnamon and nutmeg are baking spices. Forget that you think cayenne is spicy. Forget about separating cooking spices from baking spices in your cabinet. Forget it all. Only then will you be open to all the possibilities. That is curry. For the next hour, Chef Victor [...]
Quinoa Confetti Pilaf: September Sides
Have you discovered quinoa yet? Go ahead, say it with me — Keen-wah This ancient South American grain the Incas called “the mother of all grains” has become increasingly popular here in the U.S. since it was introduced in the 1990′s. We first discovered quinoa a couple of years ago when searching for alternatives [...]
Broccoli-Cauliflower Gratin Soup Recipe
When sharing the recipe for Broccoli-Cauliflower Gratin last week, I included a quick note about turning the leftovers into soup. After a friend commented and asked for more details about the soup idea, I realized how often I assume necessary steps have been communicated when in fact, they haven’t. Thankfully, my friend took the [...]
