Emergency Harvest Grains
If you’re ever in urgent need of a quick side dish, consider this simple but elegant autumn salad, thrown together with minimal preparation.
Salty-Sweet Pasta Salad, or Making the Best of a Stupid Situation
Last week I had a bad shopping experience. So far, this pasta salad is the only good thing to come out of it.
Hot Pepper Pasta Salad with Roasted Corn and Cilantro
We had this for lunch today. Then I had some more as a between-meals snack. I’m thinking about heating the rest up for dinner. It’s crazy that it’s so good, because it uses only a handful of ingredients, and it’s done in about the time it takes to boil pasta. It’s made with Dreamfields Pasta, which may or may …
Flux Capacitor Rice
If Flux Capacitor Rice were served to you anonymously—”anonymous” here meaning that the name of the dish, and not the identity of the person serving it, is unknown to you, because if you don’t know who’s serving you something then you probably shouldn’t eat it—I doubt you’d notice any similarities at all to Back to the Future. You see, unlike …
Last Meal: Beer & Bacon Mac & Cheese
Why is this called “Last Meal?” Oh, because it’ll kill you. I mean, maybe. Probably. It’s got everything you love right in one bowl, and it’s going to love you right back. Hard. Dish up a plateful and you’ll see what I mean. It’s hard to say whether it’s the butter, the flour, the cream, the cheese, the beer, the …

Barbecue pork pierogies for dinner and plum pierogies for dessert
Jenny’s Experimental Dinner: Philly Cheese Steak Ravioli
Round 3 of the Experimental Dinner Game took place at Jenny’s, where she made homemade ravioli. From scratch. And not just any homemade ravioli… homemade ravioli stuffed with steak and a blend of cheeses, with a white mushroom-and-pepper sauce, inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak. As a dinner, this little twist was the difference between predictability and genius.I invited the …
Breakfast quinoa with fruit and honey
All things being equal, hot cereal is not great. You know who knew that? My grandma. It didn’t matter how much cinnamon or brown sugar or magic you put in it. Oatmeal, cream of wheat, that hot-grape-nuts stuff that people pretend to like… even if it reminded her of hot cereal, she wouldn’t go near it. For the most part, …
Singapore Noodles: Totally not from actual Singapore
Family Circle is an American institution. A very American institution. They’ve been delivering top-notch food publications since Hoover was in office. But to be fair, they’ve probably spent about as much time in the island nation of Singapore as Family Circus has. So don’t go into this little stir-fry recipe expecting authenticity, is all I’m saying. However, if you go …
Sneaky eggplant jambalaya
Lately, the threat of crippling sniffles has kept me mostly indoors. That trapped feeling has helped me finally remember to pack a lunch before work. I’ve even started thinking about weekday lunches when I’m preparing dinner! (Like when I got some extra wonton soup, pictured, from the Chinese delivery place over the weekend. What? Ordering counts as preparing.) Jambalaya makes …
