While my sister was visiting, we went to my local farmer’s market together. Josie is always up for a good farmer’s market, and for our town size (and even one bigger really), ours is excellent. While we were browsing through my favorite produce stand, we were discussing what to make while she was here. Ever…
Stir Fried Miso Beef with Mushrooms & Pea Pods
This meal illustrates, for me anyway, the importance of names or labels. I have gotten into miso this past year, and while it was a foreign ingredient to me, it certainly did not make me squeamish or uneasy. I have not thought much about what it is (I know it involves fermented soybeans, but beyond…
Steak & Potatoes, 2010
I have regarded the majority of my family as a lost cause when it comes to Indian food for some time now. Sushi and Thai my sister and I eventually got them eating, but something about Indian food was a problem. Recently however my mom had been making comments about dishes on my blog like…
Pastitsio
Pastitsio is Greek comfort food–a cheesy, meaty pasta casserole redolent of cinnamon and oregano. I have lightened it a bit by using cauliflower and mushrooms (or zucchini!) in place of some of the pasta! The entire family adores this one! What do you do in the middle of the night when you cannot sleep? I…
Japchae-Bap with Bulgogi
I’ve been inspired to learn more about and try to cook more Asian noodles lately, so the last time I was at Jungle Jim’s I investigated their Asian noodle selection, especially their fresh noodles. I was especially interested in trying to make japchae, a Korean noodle dish using sweet potato starch noodles (a thick glass…
An Extremely Tasty Lesson In Sauerbraten
A month or so ago, a good friend of mine on Facebook and I had something akin to the following conversation: Friend: “Hey do you know any good sauerbraten brisket recipes?” Me: “No, I don’t eat cabbage.” Friend: “Uh, Laura, sauerbraten does not have cabbage.” Me: “Oh. Well clearly I need to try sauerbraten–send me…
Greek Braised Beef With Potatoes, Feta & Walnuts
I’ve been sitting on this recipe since last week–not because it wasn’t great but more because I just plain ran out of energy to deal with it. But I just served my mom the leftovers from it and she loved it and requested the recipe (and later professed ot be quite surprised as she was…
Beef Braised with Yogurt, Indian Style
Wow I feel like we have just been eating TONS of Indian food lately–and since Mommy’s in charge, that must mean I have been craving it like mad! Chickpeas, potatoes & peas, Indian chutneys and sauce… yum! Good thing my whole family gets along on this issue! Anyway, I was craving yet another Indian dish,…
Cha Dum (Vietnamese Meat Loaf)
I am sharing this as yet un-perfected recipe with you (not to mention the unperfect meat loaf slicing technique!), because it was very good as is and more importantly very easy. Terrific weeknight food. But you might see it it in another incarnation in the future. My main complaint is that as is the meat…
