Beef & Broccoli, FAIL

Firstly, this recipe is delicious and also cursed, at least when it comes to a decent picture for me to post. I've actually made it twice (which was fine by us, it's delicious) after reading about it on Pioneer Woman. Both times I added a few drops of sesame oil to the marinade, a sprinkle of ...

Stuffed Pumpkin

OK, last pumpkin post for the fall, I promise!  I couldn't resist posting this because it was so tasty and fun.  I got the recipe/inspiration from Dorie Greenspan's blog and modified it to fit what I had in the pantry at the time.  This made a great side dish to a hearty chicken stew and is so ...

No-Knead Bread

For anyone who hasn't heard of the no-knead bread, basically the idea is that by using less yeast, making the dough wetter, and letting it rise for up to 24 hours, the yeast does the work regularly done by kneading, which is breaking down the gluten and reorganizing it to make a nice bread dough. ...

Butterball, Heritage or Free Range?

That is the question these days, isn't it? I remember in my childhood, picking out a turkey was a relatively easy decision...based entirely on poundage. This was a crucial decision, don't get me wrong. You needed enough turkey to ensure that everyone could overdose on L-Tryptophan and still ...

Veggie Hummus Stuffed Pita

I suppose this would be a far more impressive post had I made the hummus or the pita from scratch. But, well...I didn't. HOWEVER, I did cut up lots of veggies and toss the greens with sea salt, lemon juice and olive oil. So that's almost like making something from scratch, right? Right! And I ...

Lemon Poached Salmon Salad

This salad is a direct imitation of a tasty salad we had in Princeton, minus the roasted red peppers (blgh!). Super easy to make and pretty healthy to boot. Mike and I are completely addicted to heart of palm and salmon so this is our dream salad, hope you enjoy it as ...

Pumpkin and Sage Pasta

Pumpkin pasta sauce is one of those dishes that I saw mentioned in a couple places and I thought "meh" and left it at that.  It sounded to me like a gimmick, and I tend to avoid recipes that combine foods that are too close in color (strange, I know, and I almost had to put this sauce on whole ...

Improv spinach & onion omelet

Mike is the egg person in this house and has always staffed the omelet pan...but one morning, I felt inspired and thought I'd surprise him with the PERFECT omelet. Well, as you can see above and as any omelet purist will attest, this isn't exactly the perfect omelet. But that should only ...

Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Soup

To celebrate Halloween Hunter and I did some cooking with pumpkin, and took our dishes over to share with some friends.  This soup is one of the dishes I took. I usually go with the standard seasonings for winter squashes- cinnamon, nutmeg, butter (yes, butter is a seasoning in my book!) so ...

Artichoke and Onion Galette

We got our first snowstorm of the fall/winter yesterday here in Denver. All in all the storm dropped over a foot in the city and up to 3 feet in the foothills, which seems like a lot for it not even being November yet.  Everyone is saying its going to be a really wet, snowy winter, so perhaps ...
