Spice Crusted Beef Tenderloin is the perfect way to jazz up a traditional holiday meal–or any formal dinner. And if you can afford beef tenderloin for an informal meal, more power to you! I updated the photos for the Spiced Crusted Beef Tenderloin in January 2017. Affiliate links have been used to link to items…
Curried Fish Chowder
I have never eaten chowder before. (I’ll wait a moment and let that sink in.) I realize this is weird given that A. I love soup; B. I lived in Boston for 2 years as an adult and C. I pride myself on my wide palate. But creamy soups are not always my favorite and…
An Indian Feast: Yogurt Curried Fish and Orange Scented Cauliflowers & Potatoes
My mom observed to me the other day that my posts had been shorter this winter. And it is true, because I seem to be perennially behind. I make a particular dish or dessert, and I fall asleep composing various observations about it in my head–but then I don’t sit down to write the actual…
Potato Chip Cookies
Each semester during parent-teacher conference week, our school’s PTG looks for volunteers to bake and cook for the teachers, who work through the evening hours. Given that cooking and baking is my kind of volunteering, I always try to make something, at least one dessert and one meal. After a few rounds of cookies for…
Coconut Lentil Soup with Potatoes and Peas
The Spiced Life family just got back from a whirlwind trip to Disney World! John got invited to talk at a conference there and we said yes, please! 3 days nonstop parks with rides, princesses, food, princesses, fairies, princesses… So please forgive any typos or just plain incomprehensible sentences. My brain feels like Swiss cheese;…
Lentil & Potato Casserole with Pumpkin & Tomatoes, Topped With Phyllo Crust
I cannot say enough good things about this meal. It is delicious, nutritious, interesting–but not so interesting that it would scare people away. It might be too unusual to your typical Midwestern palate to describe as proper gateway Indian food (and indeed it is not properly Indian anyway), but I would describe it as good…
Massaman Braised Beef Curry
When I make Thai curry paste I always try to make extra and freeze it. Except for the making of the paste, Thai curries are ridiculously simple, and there is something so indulgent and wonderful about being able to just grab some paste and whip up a really tasty curry. I do try not to…
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…
Shrimp Clemenceau
New Orleans is one of my top 2 favorite food cities of all time (if you’re wondering, Boston is the other). Not a unique choice, I realize, but I have family down there and have spent some time in the city–plus, let’s face it popular foodie destinations are usually popular for a reason. And the…
