This recipe is a great way to use leftovers in your fridge, such as carrots, mushrooms, and kale. Add any protein you like – ground beef, rotisserie pork, or ground chicken. I only need a runny yolk on top of the fried rice goodness. This helps to cool down the heat and keeps you satiated …
We ordered Chinese takeout from my favorite restaurant. I only wanted a massive bowl of chow Mein with the perfect crispness. Ben tells me, “I think you want lo mein.” I was hesitant. I was 99% sure it was the chow-mein I was looking for. He asked, “Doesn’t the ‘chow’ in chow-mein mean rice?” He …
This will probably be my weeknight dinner for the next couple of weeks. No, no, probably months. We just got a baby corgi brother to Butters. To say that my hands will be complete is an understatement. Here are the most straightforward chicken tacos for a weeknight. The chicken is spiced with a simple rub of …
It’s my new favorite quick meal. It may look impressive and even intimidating, but this is the fastest weeknight meal you can make. You’ll first need some quick-cooking grits. We’ll add some flavor and creaminess with chicken stock and milk. You’ll also need a few shrimp, some butter, paprika, and thyme, and a generous amount …
NOPE. We all sat down, hoping to get this shot within 10 seconds. We could then all dive in with a fork. We did precisely that. We ate it. We ate it. We ate more. No one said a word until we had eaten 90% of the sheet. No one will need to discuss this …
Here is the fastest chicken dinner. This weeknight meal is stress-free and ready in just 30 minutes. I’m dead serious. This one is not a trick. This is the fastest chicken dinner you can make. You will need some skinless and boneless chicken thighs. (Chicken breasts can also be used). They should be seared until …
Pasta and Ceci are one of Rome’s most famous dishes. It’s the only dish on the informal meal schedule on Tuesdays and Fridays. There are many different ways to prepare it, but the basic principles are consistent. A base of sauteed garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and sometimes even a little celery is seasoned with seasonings and …
I couldn’t eat Kale. I always hesitated to eat greens, even lighter ones like arugula and baby spinach. But as soon as I tried something heavier, my anxiety increased. After finding a garden that I liked — Swiss Chard, or what I call the spinach green –, I started experimenting with it. I made a tart spaghetti and gratin. However, I …
The summer is here, and I can’t recall why I became a chef. I want to eat only five things: tomatoes, melon, iced drinks, popsicles, and iced coffee. Every July, I crave pasta with homemade pesto. The pesto is usually accompanied by very detailed instructions and a list of things I like to serve with, near, or …
I have said that the world would be better if everyone stopped pretending kale is tasty (on the page). I don’t know what I am doing. I have said that the internet doesn’t need another kale-based salad. Am I on the right blog? But I can’t stop myself. Last weekend I had a kale salad that I will never …
