  • Guest Blog:
    Parm-Crusted Chicken, Asparagus & 3 Bonus Recipes!

    So first I must say I first had this from my sis Y_________. It was so good when she made it twice for me. So I had to ask her for the recipe because I needed a good main dish for a dinner/date I was making. Need something good to impress lol. The Parmesan Crusted…

  • Zucchini Panini!

    You know it’s good, ‘cuz it rhymes! If you have a panini press, or maybe even a george foreman grill, this is a nice quick sandwich with melty cheese you can munch on while wrapping gifts, baking cookies, or whatever it is you’re busy doing this month. Open-faced Zucchini Sandwiches Ingredients: 1 small zucchini, sliced…

  • Leftovers Congee with Faux Fish Katsu and Crispy Garlic

    Dear Readers -all five of you’s (besides the spammers), Besides being busy with real life, I’ve had a few dud recipes I am still tinkering with before I admit to having tried them at all. I have more busy life adventures coming up too, so this blog may continue to fall off… When I’m 80…

  • Celery Chicken Saute

    What to do when your homegrown celery threatens to grow into a small, unchewable forest? Chop it all down, make celery chicken, (and take the rest to work). This is a combination I started around 2006 on one of those days when there wasn’t much left in the fridge and I thought, “what goes good…

  • Heat Wave, Part II:
    Gazpacho!

    Mark Bitterman‘s Gazpacho recipe and some tips from my friend Katherine got me to try making gazpacho about a year ago, and tonight’s continued hot humid weather in the Northwest called for a revisit of cooking without heating elements. Unfortunately, I failed at that last bit, since I like my onions and garlic sautéed instead…

  • Cauliflower & Sausage Casserole

    The Kitchn’s Cauliflower Sausage Casserole caught my eye since it did not for once call for loads of cheese, per your traditional Midwestern casserole (er, ‘hot dish’) style. While loads of cheese is delicious, it’s arguably not the healthiest for you, and definitely not the best for lactose-intolerant yours truly. The Kitchn’s version used chicken…

  • Lamb Stew with Butternut Squash & Carrots

    April can be a dreary time of year in the Pacific Northwest, when the reason behind the existence of a cozy coffee shop on every other street corner becomes apparent. This Sunday afternoon’s anticipation of spring warmth was salved with trying out this lamb stew recipe, with a side of netflix marathon. I don’t think…

  • Jicama, 2 Ways
    Salad vs. Summer Roll

    First up, the recipe that uses more jicama: (1) Citrus-Spiked Jicama and Carrot Slaw Originally from Cooking Light, (David Bonom July 2007) via Yummly search via myrecipes.com. The original recipe calls for much larger amounts, I scaled it down and did some relatively arbitrary proportions for convenience to make one lunch-salad size and one tiny…

  • Yay for Family Time, too! Charred Green Beans

    Last week also saw my spouse and I visiting my parents. I was raised on a relatively mellow-tasting, healthy diet, similar to what I helped my mama make below. Lots of steamed stuff, and delicious tofu. The next night, I made dinner in honor of my father’s birthday. Fell a little short on supplies cooking…
