I’ve had canned beef on the brain lately. In recent months, I started actually paying attention to my Google Analytics, where I discovered that by far and away my grandmother’s Beef and Noodles is my most popular post. I cannot help but find this a little funny because this blog really does not specialize in…
Cincinnati Chili
2 years before starting this blog, I began keeping a journal of the food I made. I included brief recipes written in shorthand along with sources for the recipes and our impressions. Basically I was working my way up to being brave enough to start this blog.
Super Easy Chicken & Bell Pepper Chow Mein
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…
Beggar’s Angel Hair
I realize this means very little to you guys, since when you read my posts is when you read my posts, but holy moly I made this dish tonight and here I am writing about it already! We are all healthy and I am, for the first time since before the holidays, completely caught up…
New Year Noodle Soup
When I was editing the photos for this dish I had the exact same visceral reaction that I did upon seeing the photos at 101cookbooks: I want that soup and I want it now. If you’re a soup lover and a legume lover like me, this dish is pretty much nirvana. It’s simultaneously creamy and…
Garlicky Angel Hair with Sausage & Peas
I was not initially planning to share this recipe. The never ending colds from hell continue to plague my family, which means I continue to be very lazy and uninspired about dinner. And picky. I am SO picky when I have a cold. All I want is starch. Which is more or less what inspired…
Penne with Crimini Mushrooms, Sausage, White Beans and Escarole
Alex has started kindergarten. Amazingly, I can say it and even think about it without much sadness. I’ve done a lot of thinking about why. Am I a callous mom? Shouldn’t I have cried when I dropped her off? Don’t I miss her? Well I miss her a ton, but I think it comes down…
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…
Shrimp & Scallops Tossed with Capellini, Spinach, Tomatoes & Bacon
Affiliate links are used in this post to link to items I am discussing. A few years back my brother Chris went on one of his hunting trips in Louisiana and he brought back some books for my sister and me. I think he was late on our birthdays. At any rate, while I loved…
