Originally published on April 19, 2018 If there’s one kind of vegetable that’s always in my fridge, it’s bell peppers. Green, red, yellow, orange, I don’t care. But my fridge isn’t complete if I don’t have at least one in there. They’re great for throwing into a fast stir-fry on busy nights, or for just slicing […]
Originally published on April 30, 2018 People often get bored with chicken. Well to be honest, I often get bored with chicken. But when that happens, I just have to remind myself that a dish doesn’t have to be about the chicken, but about the sauce you put over top of it. So when I […]

Originally published on February 21, 2021 People make plans and God laughs. That’s one of my favorite sayings because it’s so true and it sometimes extends to the kitchen, as well. I found this out, once again, when I was preparing a Chinese menu and had planned on making egg rolls to go with it. Of course, […]
Originally posted on March 9, 2021 The baked potato. Such a purely simple side or snack. It seems as though there’s no real technique. Wrap it in foil and throw it on the barbecue or in the oven and it’s perfect. Or, even better, don’t wrap it in foil and throw it in the microwave and […]
Originally posted on March 14, 2021 There are a lot of ways to take something as simple as butter and make it even more beautiful than it already is. Clarified butter, also known as ghee, is just one of them. Just like all of those other butter recipes, when you are finished making it, you […]
