The recipe, and the story behind the recipe, for the yummy Fish ‘n Veggie Skillet
Butternut Black Bean Chili
A warming veggie chili for the nearly-spring side of winters that never seem to end.
Baked Quinoa with Shrimp and Veggies
This dish has us excited about quinoa again.
Desperately seeking slaw
I estimate that I’m on the receiving end of no more than 15% of the akwardness I typically encounter. The other 85% is all me.
A Little Chili
I never used to be much of a chili enthusiast, but this recipe is now the recipe I make when I make chili.
Sweet Garlic-Chili Roasted Pork with Savory French Toast
“A good way to rehydrate peppers,” said the Internet, “is to place them in a bowl of warm water and wait. But if you really want them to be spectacular…”
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 …
Hummus for dinner: Jalapeno Black Bean Hummus
Note: This post is part of Knuckle Salad’s Hummus All Day Long initiative. Man, if nine-year-old me could read this blog—or even 20-year-old me, if I’m totally honest—she would make such a face about the gratuitous use of beans in my recent recipes.

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 …
Cookin’ Greek
Last weekend, I went to the Marietta Diner. Yes! The Marietta Diner! The one with the giant sandwiches, incredible pies, generous portions, and crazy-authentic Greek cooking! So guess what I ordered? Two fried eggs and a bowl of fruit. It was late, dude. I was not hungry. Naturally, I regretted my decision immediately, and felt even more remorseful in the …
Bratburgers
I bet you’ve never heard of a burger quite like this before! It’s a bratwurst-and-pork burger with sauerkraut, topped with maple-dijon sauce, hot mustard, sweet pickle relish and more sauerkraut, all on a pretzel bun. See, didn’t I say you hadn’t heard of it? What’s that? You have? No way! From where? From me?! Oh. Yeah. That’s right. Well, I …
Barley alive
Beef and Barley Stew, and the kind-of-crazy story of my first time cooking it.
