Slow Cooker Chicken

Came home tonight after a long day at work to our sweet and sour chicken thighs.  The dish turned out well.  I will say that it needed a bit more salt.  Also, if you’re going to make this in the slow cooker, pull all skin off of your chicken thighs.  I knew enough to remove

Sweet & Sour Chicken Thighs with Carrots

What’s on the docket for tomorrow night?  A Sephardic dish that is similar to one I made several years ago.  This sweet and sour dish is reminiscent of Middle Eastern and African dishes I’ve had.  This is no coincidence. Sephardic Jews (yes, this is somewhat of a Jewish dish) lived in the Mediterranean in Spain,

Curry of Shrimp and Cauliflower

Soba noodles, shrimp, lots of fresh vegetables in my crisper…What was I to eat for dinner tonight?  I decided to create a curry of sorts.  I was in the mood for an “eastern” meal and wanted to incorporate as many veggies in as possible. I’ve been doing so well over the past few weeks with

The Splendid Table – Lynne Rossetto Kasper’s weekly podcast.

Cook’s Illustrated Video Podcast – Brief snippets of

Hot and Spicy, Yum!

It’s not often that I’m on my own for dinner anymore.  Several years ago, I’d be alone every Saturday night and could make just about anything I want.  Now, it’s few and far between.  I’m a bachelor until Thursday night and am taking full advantage of that for food.  My other half cannot have a

Quick and Tasty Valentine's Day Sweet

Like chocolate?  Like almonds?  Like custard?  Are you following where I’m going here?  I received an email from the Food Network this week promoting Valentine’s Day desserts.  Lots of cream, lots of cheese, lots of chocolate.  The one that piqued my interest was Nigella Lawson’s chocolate cheesecake dessert.  In an effort to keep healthier

Singapore-Style Noodles

Looking for something festive for Chinese New Year to make?  This past week, I tried this dish and enjoyed it very much.  Can’t say I would have thought bacon goes well in this dish…but it’s smoky flavor goes well with the spices.  The only adjustment that I’ll make going forward with this dish would be
