Inverted Shepherd’s Pie is a great option for when you don’t want to turn on the oven but are craving some comfort food! I owe you a refried beans post, but I am waiting on the publisher to send me (as is their preference) the recipe. So I am sliding this Inverted Shepherd’s Pie in instead.
Asian Shredded Pork and Noodle Salad: The New Slow Cooker cookbook reviewed
Asian Shredded Pork and Noodle Salad is a perfect summer dish, and using the slow cooker means the kitchen does not heat up for cooking the pork. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing in this post. I have told you guys before that I am a cookbook addict. Full…
Bourbon Bacon Beans
Bourbon Bacon Beans are a sweet and savory side dish that pairs perfectly with milder proteins, like chicken breasts. This is a sponsored post via Kitchen Play, in which I have been paid a sum of money to both try Tesoro tomatoes and discuss using them. I was sent Cooking Slow for the purpose of…
Chickpea and Bulgur Salad with Carrot Pistachio pesto
I’ve been sitting on this dish, waiting to share it with you until after all my early month blogging events were over. It turns out to be extra timely now, because I re-created it again tonight for a potluck party we were attending, and it was yummy once again–and pretty flexible, as the second time…
Oxtail Stew with Cinnamon, Star Anise, Orange and Gremolata
Each of the past few years Yotam Ottolenghi’s books (Plenty: Vibrant Recipes from London’s Ottolenghi; Jerusalem: A Cookbook) have topped my Christmas wish list. This year’s re-issue of this first book, Ottolenghi: The Cookbook, I was totally prepared to have it also topping my list. But before I could even get the title typed out,…

I have noticed a common theme to the second half of summer since my kids started school. Baking. Lots of baking. At the start of the summer, everyone is just excited to be out of school (well not Sammy, but that is a different matter), and excited to be doing summery things, like swimming, camp,…
Lap Nuea Kai Nguang – but You Might Know It As Larb Gai
Guys! I have been holding out on you. I have made this dish, a family favorite, a billion times–but it is so easy and so fast that is often gets made on nights when I don’t have the time or inclination to take pictures. I have always loved ordering larb gai (sometimes spelled lap kai,…
Indian Inspired Braised Beef Curry
I am riding an insane high as I type this. Now if you hate basketball, college sports, or just plain sports, feel free to skip to the recipe (don’t skip that–it’s outstanding). I was the class of ’95 at the University of Michigan. For those of you not keeping track, that is the same class…
Weeknight Thai Style Stir Fry
SO sorry for the extended absence! It is spring break this week, and I was gone starting last Thursday at my parents’ house. Also, with the crazy weather we have been having, I have serious spring fever. Not much cooking or baking around here, more like trips to the park and sitting on my hammock…
