This is a ridiculously good and easy recipe, which I adapted from a recipe I found in a Weight Watcher’s cookbook. I make this at least once a month for dinner, and it is always so hearty and satisfying. The chicken breast is seared and then boiled in flavorful chicken broth, so it comes out… Continue reading Simple Chicken and Rice, Spanish Style

Lamb with Hint of Orange
We are lamb lovers so I was happy to see this recipe picked, though you could absolutely substitute a stew cut of beef in this meal. This turned out to be a hearty comforting Sunday night meal. I used a butterflied leg of lamb from the butcher. I kept closely to the recipe ingredient list… Continue reading Lamb with Hint of Orange
Working with Veal Breast
Chances are you’ve never seen a veal breast. I know I hadn’t up until recently, when my local supermarket found itself with some mistakenly ordered whole veal sides. A veal breast is the same cut of the cow as a brisket. Since the veal is so much younger, it hasn’t had the time to develop… Continue reading Working with Veal Breast
My Passover Meal
I was away until Sunday night and had to work late on Monday, no time for extraneous baking. Instead, I thought I would share some photos from my Passover Seder with my family. We only had Seder one night, but it was quite a feast. Above is my family’s Seder plate. If you are unfamiliar… Continue reading My Passover Meal
Cornish Hen Recipe
Are you bored with chicken? It was my boredom with roasting chickens and an excellent episode of “Good Eats” that got me thinking about making some Cornish game hens. Are you asking yourself, what is a Cornish game hen? Well, you’re in luck. A Cornish game hen is not Cornish, nor is it game. It… Continue reading Cornish Hen Recipe
Greek Stuffed Peppers
This was a great choice and something that I would have probably not chosen to make myself. These peppers are stuffed with lean ground beef, onions, zucchini, spinach, and bulgur and then sprinkled with salty feta cheese. I know many of my fellow bloggers substituted out the beef for a leaner white meat, which I… Continue reading Greek Stuffed Peppers
The Secret to Stracoto
I love pot roast. However, I have to admit that I don’t love the traditional additions of potatoes, carrots, etc. to the roast. I think this is mainly because I must eat pasta with a roast. It is a perfect accompaniment to the tender meat and the hearty flavorful sauce, but I don’t necessarily want… Continue reading The Secret to Stracoto
Easy Veal Osso Buco
Veal osso buco, is an all time classic dish, and one of my favorites and the recipe couldn’t be simpler. The completed dish contains so many different flavors and textures within the meat, that you’d think you were eating three different meals all at once. In what other preparation do you get a wonderfully flavored… Continue reading Easy Veal Osso Buco
Smoking Your Bacon
We like bacon around here. In fact, who doesn’t like bacon? Chances are, you have bacon in your fridge right now – store-bought bacon. It’s packaged in clear plastic so that every time you open your fridge you have to look at it and think, “hmm, I could use some bacon crumbles in this salad.”… Continue reading Smoking Your Bacon
Steak and Potatoes
As he said in our first Sunday Dinner offer the non-professional cook the ability to take time otherwise not available during the week for intricate preparations. For this Sunday meal I refrained from serving an ego-maniacal overly complicated and fussy dish. Instead we got the value-add out of the dinner by splurging on an absolutely… Continue reading Steak and Potatoes
