I decided to do another vegetarian recipe this week. This one is a bit spicy, but also flavorful and comforting. Of course I love this dish because it is based on the lentil, one of my favorite vegetarian proteins. I believe the lentil is a good gateway protein into vegetarian eating for those who want [...]
I love enchiladas. Specifically green chicken enchiladas. They are so comforting to eat. However, they have not made it on menu in a long time because the calorie and sodium counts are just too high. I think they may make it into my life once again due to a recipe from Isabel Eats for Low [...]
I love Italian recipes that show the diversity of the cuisine. I think many people think of Italian cuisine as the stuff you get at the Olive Garden. That's all good stuff. No argument from me there. However, America's Test Kitchen posted their version of Pasta e Ceci or pasta with chickpeas. Chickpeas are more [...]
The week, I am giving you a quick recipe that just sounded fun. Plus, I need to keep going through my surplus of meals. This recipe is not freezer friendly. I saw the recipe for Loco Moco on Foodwishes and I just decided to make my own version of it. If you are not familiar [...]
I decided to go Tex Mex this week. Chili just sounded good. Not just any chili. Sugar Dish Me came up with a most interesting chili. She made a riff on Chili on Carne. It adds the complex flavors of mole and a bit of sweetness from Kahlua. Kahlua is a coffee liqueur that is [...]
I love Rick Bayless. He is someone who has embraced Mexican culture and the food. He make many authentic recipes and posts them on his YouTube channel and on his website. Every time I fly through Chicago O'hare airport, I make sure I stop by Fontera Grill. It's a wonderful change of pace from the [...]
Chock this up to another recipe I have never heard of. I am giddy when there is a recipe that is brand new to me. When you look around the world for cuisine, what may be common to them is new to those of us who don't live in the culture. Harira is a recipe [...]
It seems as though Southeast Asian dishes are popping up a lot in my rotation. We had the Mushroom and Tofu Larb and Tom Kha Gai. Now I am doing a version of Rendang which is a dry Indonesian curry dish. A dry curry simply means the sauce is cooked down until it is almost [...]
Coq au Vin is a classic French dish. I have made the red wine version before. However, I don't keep red wine around much, but pretty much always have some form of dry white wine around. So in my search for great recipes, I came across this recipe for Coq au Vin Blanc from Taste [...]
I was looking through my YouTube account, gathering recipes to try, and ran across a recipe from Bon Appetit for Spicy Mushroom Larb. I clicked on it because I was curious. I had never heard of Larb. Come to find out it is the unofficial national dish of Laos. It's also eaten all over Thailand. [...]
