I just discovered the most amazing new… food? Dish? Flavor? Technique?Not sure what you would call it, but I am sending serious gratitude over to Lori at The Recipe Girl all the same. Roasted lemons. She featured them a day or 2 ago in a dish with chicken and olives.I was immediately intrigued, but my…
Winter Squash and Tomatillo Soup
I went back and forth about whether to share this next soup with you guys. I served it with the Buttermilk Cornmeal Bread with Chiles and Cheddar, and that right there was probably half the problem—the bread just blew everything else at the meal out of the water. However the second problem was that same…
Curries from the Pantry: "Mattar Tofu" with Chana Masala "Chutney"
“Mattar Tofu” with Chana Masala “Chutney” My favorite restaurant style Indian dish is Aloo Mattar. John prefers Mattar Paneer, but they are essentially the same dish, one made with peas (mattar) and potatoes and the other with paneer (the homemade Indian cheese, similar to a cottage cheese) and peas. Ever since I made that Jack…
Bread Baking Day #1/7 (My 1st, everyone else’s 7th!): Dahi Chapati
Much like the Daring Bakers (stay tuned for that recipe, coming soon) I have been eyeing the monthly Bread Baking Day and wanting to participate. Well, this month I finally got my butt in gear and did so. The theme is flatbreads, hosted by Chili und Ciabatta and the rules are just to make and…
The Soup That Became Something More Than A Soup: Smoky Black Bean Huevos Chilaquiles
I shared a smoky black bean soup with you guys a few days ago. It made a huge recipe—a necessary byproduct of frantic tinkering to fix a dish that seemed to have gone wrong. I love black bean soup as much as the next gal, but even I can’t really handle it more than a…
Tales of a Compulsive Food Thief: Pumpkin Dal with Yellow Split Peas and Red Lentils Served With Naan
I would like to introduce you to my dog Finnegan. We have 3 dogs: one German Shepherd and 2 Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. Finnegan is a Chessie and the middle dog at 6 ½ years old, and the most relevant at this moment because when he gets stressed—about anything—he steals food. So when you throw in…
The Flexitarian Quest Continues (A Middle Eastern Riff on Bittman’s Bean Burgers)
Remember that New Year’s resolution I told you all about? The one where we would become more flexitarian in our approach to food, eating more vegetarian meals, and to that end I was going to explore more “American” vegetarian meals? Well I don’t mind telling you all that things are proceeding a little creakily. Not…
The Dog that Derailed Dinner (Curry Potpie; New Year’s Resolutions; Chocolate Chip Cookie Quest)
So this post was originally supposed to be about New Year’s resolutions.I guess the dog derailed that too. A criminally skinny German Shepherd showed up on my doorstep today while I was making dinner. Very friendly, desperate for human company, starving (I fed her) and really, really skinny.Leather collar but no tag (this dog must…
