Fall Cooking

One of my passions is cooking. I'm probably one of the few people in my age group that doesn't frequent the fast-food industry. I can count on my fingers how many times a year we eat out or order delivery in fact. It's also therapeutic, in my opinion. The smells and sounds lending as much of a...

Egg Noodles with Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes

Tomato season is one of my absolute favorite times of the year. Fresh off the vine... the limitless varieties and vibrant colors fill the stands at the farmers' market, promising a future filled with Caprese salads. These heirloom cherry tomatoes are so perfect that I could even eat them like...

Back to School - Cafeteria Food Makeover

In honor of back-to-school month I wanted to take on some of the most popular school lunch menu items and make them over into delicious and healthy dinners for the whole family. Now I realize that the thought of cafeteria food doesn’t exactly sound enticing or mouth-watering; however I’ve...

Pasta with tomatillo-poblano sauce

It's actually pretty rare for my grocery store to have tomatillos, which is why I appreciate the canned version I have been able to find at Whole Foods. Last time I went to WF, even they didn't have fresh tomatillos. I don't get it. Last week, I was grocery shopping when I not only saw tomatillos,...

Fettuccine with Spicy Asian Meat Sauce

Very simple, and very, very good... 1. Prepare a sauce of 1 cup chicken stock, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp ketchup (mushroom, if you've got it), 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tsp dry sherry or Shaohsing wine (optional). Mix well. 2. Cook pasta and toss it with a little toasted...

delishtown

Have you not had one of these pasta bags yet? I hadn't even heard of them until I was at Target tonight and I looked at Alexis and said "Wanna eat pasta and have a sleepover?" It was amazing. I can't even tell you about the meal I just ate and the fact that it came out of a bag. I'm a picky eater,...

Red Thai Curry Leftover with Pasta

Ugh, all that sauce splattered on the side of the bowl really doesn't look too good, does it? I try to pay attention to stuff like that, but this was just a quickie: Yesterday's red Thai chicken curry, with some spaghetti on top. I just had a serious hankering for some pasta, and hey, it makes the...

Red Pasta Sauce

I thought I would start with a photo of my tomatoes, garlic braids that come from Joes Garden in Bellingham, Wa., and fresh Walla Walla onions a friend brought me from Wa. When living in Wa state, my garden was 40 feet X 80 feet. I used to put in a dozen tomato plants. From the tomatoes I used to...

Marinara Sauce Made From Fresh Tomatoes

Well, it's pouring rain outside and I've achieved an equilibrium of sorts, so I thought I'd share an incredible marinara recipe. Tomatoes are in season, so try this sauce with an armload of fresh veggies from the farm stand or home garden! 2 tbs olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 6 large cloves of...

QotD: Soups On

Which TV chef would you want to have prepare a meal for you? HA! I know Robbbie's answer for that one! But for me? Hmmm... I think I'd go for the Iron Chef guy, the large one, what's his name. (I'm having a horrible time right now remember anyone's name.) My sister doesn't like him because he wears...

Bacon, Ham & Mushroom Carbonara Spaghetti

Leonard cooked this. Not as creamy as those sold commercially & has a tinge of sourish taste. Prefer the tomato version to this.

J cooked lunch

Made from stone-ground organically grown whole durum wheat and pure water; slow dried in Abruzzi in central Italy

J cooked us dinner

End-of-Summer Delights

By delights, I mean tomatoes—those much maligned red orbs that featured so prominently in the news during most of the summer. With the days lengthening and the frosty breath of autumn soon to be upon us, I say make haste and enjoy fresh tomatoes while the vines are still producing. I never buy...

Long Live the Internets!!

The kid and I are making dinner for his dad tomorrow night. It was something I kind of mentioned in passing a week or two ago and he completely latched on to it. I'm totally okay will that, I like cooking. The problem is the fact that by tomorrow night rolls around I'm going to be pretty freakin'...
