Martha’s All-American Potato Salad

On November 8, 2010 · Leave a Comment

When I made pulled pork the other day, I thought it would be fun to make a potato salad to go along with it. Problem is, I rarely make or even eat potato salad. It’s not something that I usually get at restaurants except for when I do my yearly KFC [...]

6 Easy Side Dishes

On November 5, 2010 · 4 Comments

Side dishes are great!  Some nights I wish I could just make 3 or 4 different side dishes for dinner and call it a night.  In fact, one of my favourite dinners was at Westville in NYC where I ordered a platter of all side dishes. SO GOOD.

Side dishes allow you [...]

Easy Oven Fries

On September 13, 2010 · 8 Comments

My dear friend Shea posted this recipe for Oven Fries on her fabulous blog, Hungry in Brooklyn that I couldn’t resist trying.  I mean I love fries (I always have a bag of frozen ones in the freezer, guilty pleasure) and never feel like heating up oil to fry [...]

Homemade Gnudi – Spotted Pig Style

On September 10, 2010 · 11 Comments

One of the great things about living in NYC was the access I had to some of the top trend-setting restaurants.  Granted my entry level salary didn’t really allow me to dine at Le Bernardin but I was able to try a lot of the more moderately priced spots.

I remember [...]

A Market Fresh Dinner

On August 31, 2010 · 3 Comments

Consider this an ode to the end of summer. The nights are getting cooler.  The sun is setting a bit earlier.  Summer is on it’s way out.  Soon the market will be filled with nothing but root vegetables.  Le sigh.

With all that in mind I decided to head over to the [...]

Stir-Fried Shanghai Bok Choy with Ginger

On August 18, 2010 · 4 Comments

So to accompany my not so great pork belly I made bok choy.  I’ve always enjoyed bok choy but usually buy the big heads.  This time I thought it would be fun to buy some baby bok choy and stir-fry that up.

Thanks heavens I did because my pork belly verged [...]

Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits

On July 18, 2010 · 4 Comments

So on Fried Chicken Day I decided to make biscuits too because fried chicken and biscuits go together like early Madonna and lace. I’m forever craving Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster so I went on the hunt for something similar.

I ended up finding this recipe from the Barefoot [...]

Spicy Broccoli Soba Sauté

On May 25, 2010 · 2 Comments

While I love me some meat sometimes I eat totally vegetarian. I had a few bundles of soba noodles in my cupboard that I’ve been meaning to use up so when I saw this recipe in Moosewood Restaurant New Classics it sounded like a great option. I’m a fan of [...]

Easter 2010

On April 21, 2010 · 3 Comments

Clearly I’m a bit behind on my posting.  This is what I had for Easter dinner!  For me Easter means ham.  Growing up my mom would never buy a whole ham because she didn’t like ham and my sister (misguidedly) doesn’t eat pork.  So one year when I was living by myself [...]

Better Buttermilk Biscuits

On March 1, 2010 · 4 Comments

One of the by-products of my butter making experiment was buttermilk.  Buttermilk is great.  I use it pancakes all the time.  Problem is I can usually only find it in 1L formats.  Half the time I say screw it and just make “buttermilk” by adding either lemon juice or vinegar [...]
