I know it sometimes must seem as though I have all day to cook every day–and it is true that I often take advantage of my stay at home mother status to explore different cuisines with my kids at a leisurely pace–but I am busy like any other mom and frequently do not start dinner…
Algerian Tagine Of Chicken and Apples
I had trouble with the color of this dish–the flavor was a lot richer and more vibrant than the pictures imply. Perhaps it would have been prettier with quince, the first choice of the recipe author (Joyce Goldstein), but I figured why hunt down a flown-in quince when I still have local apples? (And truthfully…
African Peanut Chicken Stew
African Peanut Chicken Stew is a delicious and comforting one pot meal that is easily made year round with canned tomatoes. I loved this dish so much that I have made it several times, and in February 2016 I updated the photographs, although I left one of the originals for posterity’s sake. Happy New Year!…
Hunter Chicken Stew
It’s that time of year again, when packages of canned tomatoes start showing up at my door. I love my job as a blogger! This year I actually got packages from 2 companies, Muir Glen and Red Gold. I am excited to try the Red Gold, a regional canned tomato company, but I started with…
Vindaloo Inspired Chicken
Good company does not produce good photos–in fact the opposite. I was so busy yakking when I served this dish to my friend Jessie that I never even noticed I didn’t photograph it plated. Which is a real shame, because it is succulent and delicious. A serious repeater. I found it in the excellent (and…
North African Braised Chicken
I woke up this morning and I could feel autumn. The low last night was in the low 50s (F) and the air this morning was crisp, the sunshine clean and unburdened by the humidity that plagues a Midwestern summer. I know it won’t last, I know in a day or 2 the heat is…
Thai Chicken Satay
A traditional Thai Chicken Satay is a luxurious, rich and delicious dish that is worth the effort to make for yourself, using a homemade Thai Massaman Curry Paste. This recipe ruined me for all other satay. Which is kind of a shame really because it is certainly more labor intensive than other satay. But it…
Sour Chickpea Soup
Sour Chickpea Soup is a chicken soup flavored with cumin and caraway seeds that is delicious any time of year. I updated these pictures in Summer 2020. The soup in the more recent photos were served over Basmati rice (it was all I had) and we used more rice, leading to a bulkier looking soup. …
Smoky Chicken & Sausage Gumbo with Corn, Midwestern Spiced Life Style
Traditional gumbo is a very good thing. I am not disputing that fact; I’m just sayin’ that if gumbo had been invented in the midwest it would have corn in it. Ya’ll down in N’Awlins might have the best seafood (when the Gulf isn’t full of oil), the okra, the scrumptious andouille sausage, but let’s…
