Last night I made this to go with caesar salad. It really hit the spot. Since we finished the salad, I used the leftovers to make chicken salad. I didn’t measure anything, so these are approximate quantities of ingredients. 1 lb chicken (I used breast meat, but you could use another type) 1/3 c balsamic [...]

Sweet potatoes are available to us at our farmer’s market year round, so we were eating a lot of them through the winter. This continues to be one of our favorite ways to prepare them. The hash is great on its own or makes a good side to eggs. It takes a little while to [...]
Chicken Fajitas

This is a variation of a recipe that came (I think) from one of my mom’s Weight Watchers cookbooks. It is a great meal that is easy and relatively quick to put together. This recipe makes 4-6 fajitas, using the large flour tortillas. A folded fajita wouldn’t have shown you what the ingredients look like, [...]

This is a variant on Nancie McDermott’s “Chiang Mai Curry Noodles (Kao Soi)” from her book Quick & Easy Thai (Chronicle Books). I made her recipe for the first time a couple months back and since then, I’ve been tweaking it. I think this version is my favorite so far. 2 tbsp vegetable oil 3 [...]

A big group of us made these with Eric at a potluck last year. We mostly made the vegetarian kind, but there were also some pork samosas. Eric had prepared coriander chutney ahead of time, which made them even better. (Since he hasn’t joined the blog yet, but he gave me the recipe, I am [...]

Like I said in the last post, its a soup recipe kind of day (ie. cold.) This is one that I make just about every time I get sick, but it’s good to eat any time. It includes a number of ingredients that will make you feel better if you are ill or stuffy. (Onions, [...]

Molasses Baked Beans with Ginger

Okay Amelia, here is my solution to your molasses problem. I took this from two recipes on Epicurious.com from Bon Appetit magazine. If I were making it I’d obviously cut out the bacon, but this sounds southern and tasty regardless. Makes 6 servings. 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces 1 1/2 cups [...]
