Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Do you ever have random childhood cravings? My mom made chicken cacciatore pretty often when I was a kid. I remember the pasta being my favorite part of course, since that’s what kids typically love! I haven’t made (or eaten) chicken cacciatore for…gosh…I have no idea how long. I don’t think I’ve had it since…
I thought I had nothing to make for dinner. I knew I had a leftover chicken breast from dinner last night. I dug through rest of the fridge. I found: A half bunch of sad, wilted, barely recognizable cilantro 1/4 of a small red onion a small, sad shallot tortillas salsa I put the cilantro,…
My son said, “I don’t like cabbage.” I said, “It’s not cabbage, it’s slaw.” I like traditional cole slaw but can only eat so much of it. I don’t like cooked cabbage. I’ve been getting cabbage from my CSA so I’ve been experimenting. When I decided to make chicken with the honey-soy glaze I found…
I thought this recipe from Cooking.com’s newsletter looked tasty, kid-friendly and easy. Well, this was a miss. The broth had too much sugar in it. I made the rookie mistake of not tasting the broth before cooking the chicken in it (or even before ladling it into the bowls). I ate it but it wasn’t…
So the SuperBowl recipes are finally over with in the newsletters. Today’s Epicurious recipe of the day was Skillet Chicken Pot Pie with Butternut Squash. Right off the bat I know that I won’t be putting butternut squash in it since my son wouldn’t eat it if I did. Oddly, it’s all he would eat…
We had a bit of a hectic schedule. It was the first day back to school for my son after the winter break. I was back to work at his school as well after not working for 3 ½ months since my husband’s motorcycle accident and I stayed home as a 24-7 nurse. I raced…
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a braising kick. Maybe it’s because my Le Creuset French Oven doesn’t fit in my cabinet so it’s always staring at me from the stove top, beckoning to be filled with something yummy. I didn’t have hours to let something braise so I cut up…
After writing this up, I discovered I already put this recipe up but I’d used fish! Well, I changed it very slightly but I guess that means I really like this one! 4 rehydrated ancho chiles (save the liquid) 1 small yellow onion 3 cloves garlic 2 T white wine vinegar salt Blend everything in…
If she weighed the same as a duck… she’s made of wood. And therefore… A witch! My first duck attempt was, well, it was edible. I overcooked it a bit. I tried whole roasted duck. I just went for it. It could have been witch…nearly wood…ok, not that bad. But not what I was going…
This dish was so easy and so rich and warming. I do think I was photo’d out from Christmas though because I didn’t take a single picture of this meal. 1/2 lb italian sausage 1 chicken cut into 8 pieces 1/2 a yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced 2 celery stalks, chopped…
Take the leftover chicken meat, I had 2 legs and 1 breast left, and cut it into chunks. Put it in the food processor with some sauteed garlic and shallots, some chopped herbs, salt and pepper. For the amount of chicken I had left I used 2 shallots and 2 cloves of garlic, a tablespoon…
We had some friends over for the 4th and wanted to make something nice and fancy but that still had some element of the Independence Day barbecue thing going on. I started with my classic ahi tartare. It’s becoming a bit of a signature dish for me, it’s always good and everyone loves it. Next…
I didn’t eat meat for years. Not because of ethics or anything like that, I just stopped liking it. One day, a while back, I thought “BBQ chicken sounds good.” Not the kind with barbecue sauce on it but herbed, marinated chicken. This is what I had and it’s still my favorite way to barbecue….
Exhausted from vacation…aren’t they tiring? I had a chicken, I had leeks from my CSA, I have sage in the garden. That’s a meal right there! 1 whole chicken 3 leeks, chopped 1/4 cup butter (sliced into pats) 10-12 sage leaves (4 leaves chopped, leave the rest whole) 1-2 T chopped fresh thyme Salt, pepper,…
Truth be told, “again” and “recipe” don’t really go together in my house. The title quote is actually paraphrased from Neil Gaiman‘s Coraline—I’ve always liked that line. But this week I got my first CSA box and, since the point of signing up for the CSA was to force some variety in to my kitchen,…
