I’ve had a container of bulgur wheat hanging out in my cupboard for a while now. The stuff is really good – you can cook it up in broth with some veggies just like lentils, or cook it in milk like oatmeal. For some reason, though, I’ve been neglecting it. And, now that I’ll be … Continue reading »
This is coming a little late since, well, I’ve eaten all of it, and yesterday I planned and did my shopping for the upcoming week (starting today), but it’s been a crazy week and I wanted to save the most epic meal for last. This was definitely the best dinner of the lot for weeks … Continue reading »
This is so easy. SO EASY. And, like anything with red peppers and feta, pretty tasty too. There’s no cooking required and it gets eaten cold, so it makes a great lunch, potluck dish, or side for a burger or some grilled chicken. The inspiration for this comes from a recipe on nancycreative.com (here’s the … Continue reading »
Or, as it was referred to in its original form on Stone Soup, “single girl salmon.” Appropriate, I suppose, since the post was about cooking for one, but truthfully, I didn’t find anything particularly lonely or femme about this dish. It’s entirely yummy, filling and practical and could totally feed 4 people, regardless of gender. … Continue reading »
Mmmm hmm. Doesn’t that sound fancy! It’s actually really easy, I swear. And also quite delicious. This recipe has been sitting on my Pinterest, waiting to be tried, for a while now (here’s the original from Bon Apetit).

Then they started cropping up in recipes, I had a friend make a roasted root vegetable medley with them, I copied him a few months later, I used … Continue reading »
YUM. I am completely in love with this dish. LOVE. I mean, I like some greens (not so much the southern, cooked until brown with a pound of bacon kind, but more the kind sauteed for 5 or 10 minutes with some olive oil & seasonings). I even typically put garlic in my greens, but … Continue reading »
This recipe is a mash up of a handful of recipes from various cookbooks I have floating around in my kitchen. It turned out pretty well, and was a really easy one-pan meal. Start-to-finish, this dish takes about an hour and a half, however, all but 15-20 minutes is hands-off while the chicken is in … Continue reading »
Confession: I don’t know why, but “chicken piccata” always sounded intimidating, so I never gave it the light of day in the kitchen. That is, until this post came along (thanks Clare!). It looked SO GOOD, and the ingredients list was a piece of cake. Since I had two chicken breasts sitting around anyway, I … Continue reading »
