The teams have been decided, the Giants and Patriots will square off in the big game February 5, but the food is still up for debate. Whether you are intent on the game or prefer to invite folks over to enjoy the commercials together (for some, that’s the only reason they watch), the Super [...]

Chicken Teriyaki & Stir-Fry Vegetables
Last week I posted a note about Monthly (Batch) Cooking and the wide variety of meals you can prepare ahead and freeze. This Chicken Teriyaki is one of the meals we made last week from a recipe inspired by Raymond at Ang Sarap. There was a time when we used a bottled sauce, but with [...]

Food 52 Cookbook Review: Chicken with Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce & More
I find so many cooking sources on-line through my husband, who nudges me with subtle suggestions in emails with a link. Food 52 was one of those serendipitous finds and I became a subscriber right away. Their passion is sharing good food and building community among home cooks, so it was an easy “yes” when [...]
Stir a Pot, Feed a Soul: Real Comfort Food
When we hear someone say, “comfort food” thoughts drift to dinners from childhood imagining something warm, full of carbs, or sweetly satisfying. We dream of flavors and textures to feed our emotional funk or exhaustive schedule to quench and satisfy. The focus is inward, self-gratifying. What if our focus shifted outward instead? This is not [...]

Turkey Pot Pie with Gluten Free Pie Crust
Over the past few months, I have experimented with a number of gluten-free recipes, especially on those nights our daughter will be home for dinner. I have had some great hits and some real misses trying to find what works and still tastes good. Cupcakes, stews and sauces, and pancakes all turned out, but pie [...]

Chicken Broccoli Casserole with Fried Onion Topping [GF]: Remaking an Old Standby
I imagine most families in America have some version of this soup-mix classic in their recipe rotation, or at least in their distant memory. Casseroles did not originate in the U.S., but the method of using canned cream soups to bind a hodgepodge of ingredients together in one vessel, is certainly on us. In the [...]
Stone Soup and The Well-Fed College Student
College is a season of life with precious little time or money for nutritious food. Most meals are heavy on carbs to fuel the schedule, yet light on the sustaining nutrition the brain requires. However, being a well-fed college student goes beyond checking the mail for the next care package or searching the grocery aisles [...]
Emeril’s Wok-Seared Duck Salad Recipe: Romantic Sizzling Skillets
When the email arrived from The Secret Ingredient with three recipes we could share from Emeril’s Sizzling Skillets and Other One-Pot Wonders, I admit, there was a hint of skepticism when I saw this one. Not really a big fan of duck, but I knew I could not recommend something I hadn’t tried. Although there [...]

Emeril’s Turkey Club Casserole: One-Dish of Delicious
I read a plethora of magazines, cookbooks, newspaper articles, and blogs about food, so there has to be some way to keep tabs on what I hope to create in my next kitchen adventure. For cookbooks or magazines, there is always a stack of post-it notes nearby to mark pages. Emeril’s new cookbook, Sizzling Skillets [...]
Emeril’s Spicy Vegetable Coconut Curry: Main or Side Dish
I braved the pouring rain yesterday running errands, which included a stop at Whole Foods for Emeril’s Spicy Vegetable Coconut Curry recipe. Oh, the stories I could tell about what goes on behind these lovely photos (and the stories my family could tell too!). Sloshing shoes and all, it was worth it! I love to [...]
