I’ve mentioned before that I am continually waging a war to get my entire family–myself included–to like cooked greens. There have been a few successes, but more thumbs down than up. Recently I got quite excited about a wonderful looking recipe using Christmas Lima beans and greens. John and I liked it ok, but the…
Uncle Chris’s “Fist Sized Meatballs”
In case you are wondering, Alex named the meatballs. She has a sense for the literal, my kid. I was leaning toward “Man Sized Meatballs.”
Persian Beef Khoresh with Tart Peaches
The lack of braised dishes is the single worst thing about summer (from a food perspective). Sometimes I give in and braise overnight, but for the most part I avoid braised dishes in the summer, both because they make the kitchen hot and also because they tend to be heavier, heartier dishes. But the kids…
Tortilla and Cheddar Topped Beef, Bean and Bacon Casserole
Like many parents, I am always on the lookout for ways to help out at my kids’ school, without, well, doing things that I hate the idea of doing. For example, some parents don’t mind working with accounting, and they end up holding the position of treasurer in their PTG or PTO. Bless those people…
Pasta Alla Boscaiola AKA Italian Beef and Noodles

Â 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. Â I cannot help but find this a little funny because this blog really does not specialize in…
Kheema with Cardamom and Curry Leaves

Â In my own personal repertoire of ground meat dishes, only chili comes close to as many exciting…

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…
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…
Saag Gosht (Beef in Fragrant Spinach Sauce)
I used to dislike paneer saag, and, by extension, saag dishes in general. I have never been a big fan of cooked greens of any sort, and with apologies to those who love paneer, it kind of tastes like tofu to me. Which is to say that while totally inoffensive, it seems, to me anyway…
