With a focus on sustainable eating.
It’s been a good month plus since I’ve participated in a Sunday Supper event with my fellow food bloggers. The theme this week is Mother’s Day. I had the perfect recipe picked out after asking my wife what she wanted me to make for her this weekend. She had her eye, or is it [...]
I love risotto. It is incredibly flexible where a wide variety of combinations can combine to create some amazing dishes. In fact, last month when I was in Chicago for work I was in a cooking competition. Our team had flank steak, bell peppers, and potatoes as our ingredients. I led our team choosing between [...]
Fresh pasta is one of those things that sounds time consuming, especially on a work day evening. It certainly can be but there are ways to reduce the time and my secret weapon is the KitchenAid mixer with the pasta extractor accessory. The pasta dough is simple to make and then a small ball of [...]
This is what I was going to make for last week’s #SundaySupper theme celebrating the One Year Anniversary of what “Family Foodie” Isabel started out as a friendly twitter conversation talking about what people were cooking on Sunday evenings. I loved the early chats, since Sunday was a guaranteed day I’d be in the kitchen [...]
I was definitely coming down with something and knew a good hearty soup would help get me through a couple days of sickness. Sadly by the following day when I finally made it to the doctor I found out the flu that has become an epidemic was what I had. This soup definitely helped; though, [...]
It’s officially football season with the start of the NFL this past week and college football last weekend. Whether you are hosting a tailgate, barbecue or just hanging out at home with family watching the game, food is an important part of football season. One of my favorites is sloppy joe’s. However, I’m not a fan of [...]
Pie + Meat = Winning. Adding some Cajun spices to a turkey pot pie definitely caught my attention when searching for things to make this week. This recipe is quite simple, so simple I finally overcame my fear of making homemade pie crust. The filling requires cooked Turkey. I prepared the turkey using this recipe: [...]
Before last Sunday I had no clue what a Pear Zucchini was so don’t worry if you do not either. You can substitue any vegetable here. A ‘normal’ green zucchini or yellow squash is fine or skip both and add cauliflower and/or broccoli. Basically this is anything you want it to be. However, if you [...]
Sunday night is always a special evening when it comes to cooking. Not only is it the last evening before the work week where I can spend more time preparing and cooking a meal. It is also a time to enjoy some twitter chat with fellow foodies on #SundaySupper chat. Tonight they were doing recipes [...]
This is an adaptation of a recipe I posted before: Lentils with Turnip, Leeks and Carrots. I made a few edits since I’m still doing my series on “Hotel Home Cooking.” Much of the original recipe was followed; however, I lacked cloves and red wine vinegar plus I had some yellow zucchini that I added [...]
