It has been 45 F or higher here with blinding sunshine the last 2 days. The entire landscape is melting into a totally smooth ice rink. Because there was apparently too much snow for it to totally disappear. And then this evening it started snowing again and now it is supposed to be cold again…
Southwestern Sweet Potato Hash Served With Cabbage & Corn Slaw With Cilantro-Orange Dressing
Lunchtime guests always present a dilemma for me. Not an unwelcome dilemma, lest you are reading this and you are one of those guests, but a dilemma nonetheless. I am just not a lunch person. I love breakfast and I love dinner, but lunchtime with its cold options leaves me, well, cold. A lot of…
Photo-Less Blogging: Chicken With Rice & Beans & A Citrus Sauce
Thanks to my sister in law’s sister (Hi Chrissy!), my computer is on its way to Columbus to be looked at. Sadly, that means I will be without for a while. I couldn’t bear the thought of not posting at all, but it will be a little less frequent and without photos for the time…
Copper Piping and a Layered Tortilla & Tomato Casserole With Butternut Squash Hash and Melted Cheese
I have become pretty good friends with one of the moms from my playgroup, and after spending many playdates over at her house, I have decided maybe, just maybe, she is a good enough friend to witness the chaos I live in at this “tweener” house. She and her twins, who are Sammy’s age, are…
My Admittedly Not Vegetarian Take On Jack Bishop’s Black Bean Chilaquiles
But you could easily make it vegetarian. I do this a lot–take vegetarian recipes for inspiration and then make them not vegetarian (in “supporting cast” ways–like chicken stock and lard). Not usually Indian recipes, but recipes that are vegetarian interpretations of recipes from meat-eating cultures. I mean, I have lard, I personally think it is…
Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Sour Cream: Early October At Its Best!
Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Sour Cream is the best and most flavorful of hearty midwestern American cooking in the autumn. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing. [I updated these photos in December 2017.] One of my favorite things about apples is how great they taste in savory dishes,…
September Green Chicken & Apple Tortilla Casserole
Check it out! We own a hole! At first Alex could not wrap her brain around this one, but now she has really gotten into it. She told us tonight it was HER basement they were building. HER toys would go down there (which granted is what I had told her). She also told us…
Southwestern Black Bean Soup: It Isn’t Super Healthy, But It Sure Is Tasty!
The first time I tried Dave Lieberman’s Black Bean Soup, I was full of trepidation. There is just something about using canned beans with their liquid that really icks me out. But I forged ahead anyway–I don’t remember why now–and was floored. It was really, really good–but of course it was with all that bacon!…
Stewed Summer Green Chicken With Beans And Corn
This stew was born of surgery recovery. I am feeling a lot better these days, but still not great. I am smelling strong smells, but not subtle ones, and my head is still congested and full of sinus pressure. And other gross things I won’t mention. So while simple baking continues to relax me, dinner…
