When it seems like I have nothing to make for dinner, I can at least count on having the ingredients for this tuna & pasta dish.
I learned the recipe in college from one of my friends. She said it is an Ethiopian recipe, but as I’ve prepared it over the years, I’m sure it [...]
You may not know that I have past experience working as a pizza cook. Back in high school, I worked at Bertucci’s as carry-out staff, a hostess, and eventually moved to back-of-house.
I was in charge of portioning out baggies of cheese, frozen chicken, and scallops in the morning. When customers [...]
The trees are swaying to and fro but largely staying put. There is a larger possibility for a squirrel to break through my kitchen window than a tree limb. We haven’t lost power either, so all engines are go in the kitchen.
I was set [...]
Lunch time on a lazy Sunday.
I pulled together simple sausage + pepper sandwiches to fill our bellies while we work. The buns came from the freezer, leftover from the turkey whoppers. I peeled and sliced spicy Italian sausage and sautéed it in a hot pan with salsa, bell pepper, and onion.
It is out of necessity that I learn make Indian food at home.
We just can’t afford all the take-out required to keep our curry-cravin’ bellies satisfied. In the past, I’ve prepared quite the spread of frozen Indian dishes care of Trader Joe’s. They sell simmer sauces, Indian Fare boxes, naan, and frozen samosas [...]

Last night, there was progress. We had taco night for dinner and that’s nothing new. But, a shift in the cumin-scented air occurred, and a carnivorous man’s views were changed forever.
My black bean, corn, and tomato stuffing was spicy and substantial. So much [...]
I have a dream that I will win every recipe contest I ever enter, make a living off the prize money, and enjoy foodie vacations and kitchen swag for the rest of my life.
Last week, I spent an hour of my life plugging in every online recipe contest I could possibly enter [...]
Shish kebabs, does anyone even call them that anymore? We grilled shish kebabs in the summer all the time growing up, usually some combination of veggies and chicken or shrimp.
I think the name is more complicated than what it really is… food on sticks.
Although I don’t have a grill, I [...]
My parents grew up in Alabama. Suffice it to say, they know a thing or two about mayonnaise.
Despite the condiment’s vulnerability to heat, Southerners are not known for skimping on the mayo. My mom’s potato salad recipe is a homestyle preparation that cannot be beat. It is mayo-based and I’m not prepared [...]
The last thing I crave in 90° weather is a hearty soup. But, I made it anyway because it seemed like a better idea than turning on the oven.
In my latest box of Boston Organics produce, I got lots of root veggies and fruit. I didn’t have enough room in my [...]
