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,…
Malaccan Beef & Vegetable Stew
There should be more braised beef dishes on my blog. Seriously, if it was compatible with how I want to live from environmental and health perspectives, I would have some variation on pot roast every night of the week. But alas I know I should not, so I try not to indulge too often. But…

Braised Beef with Butternut Squash, Sweet Potatoes and Dried Cherries & A Kitchen In Progress
I bet you guys wondered what on earth happened to the house pics. What happened was I got a new camera phone–and became so enamored with it I stopped taking my camera out to the property. In the meantime it took me forever to figure out how to upload the pictures taken with the phone….
Tortilla Casserole Verde
Music to my ears: I just heard Sammy yell “Shuh-sis-ter!” I already knew she could say (in her own way) “sister”–she says it repeatedly, especially since she cannot yet say “Alex”. What really got me though was hearing Alex immediately yell back: “Yes?” So cute! Oh, and, be aware if you name your kid Alex,…
