Spaghetti and Meatballs
Often when you order spaghetti and meatballs in a restaurant, you get a ginormous meatball–hard as a hockey puck–in a generic red marinara sauce, which is why I never thought I really liked spaghetti and meatballs. I thought meatballs were just a poor substitute for a rich bolognese sauce, which is how I preferred my [...]
Italian Pot Roast
As much as I sometimes complain about living in Vegas, there are some definite perks for living here. Right now I’m really appreciating the blue sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60s while the rest of the country and lots of places in the world are facing record breaking freezes. Have you seen this satellite [...]
Beef, Guinness, and Cheese Pie
This blog may give the false illusion that everything is always perfect in our kitchen and that our dinner is always delicious and served at 7:30 on the dot. This is not the case at all, and last Thursday night proved that some nights chaos often rules our kitchen. I had found some really great [...]
Meatloaf
Meatloaf is one of those truly American dishes that I didn’t eat when I was growing up. In fact, the only time I ever really eat meatloaf is when we are in San Francisco and have lunch at ‘wichcraft, where I order the truly incredible meatloaf sandwich with cheddar, bacon, and tomato relish on a [...]
Cheddar BLT Burgers with Tarragon Russian Dressing
This recipe taunted us from the cover of Food & Wine magazine for a few months before we gave in and finally made it, and it satisfied our craving for a big juicy burger. The homemade Russian dressing was a nice touch and made it extra tasty. This recipe makes enough for 6 burgers at [...]
Kogi BBQ Tacos
A big trend in food right now is the emergence of food carts around the country, especially in cities like Portland, San Francisco, and LA. These mobile gourmet kitchens serve street food kicked up a notch, and perhaps one of the best known food carts is the Kogi BBQ truck in LA, which uses Twitter [...]
Lasagna
When I was back in Texas, I made some lasagna for my family for when they got off the flight from Scotland. Plane food has always tasted pretty awful, but it seems as though it has only gotten worse over the last couple of years. So I thought they deserved something tasty and comforting to [...]
Beef Rib and Sausage Ragu with Whole Grain Spaghetti
Last week Carlo stated that he was done with the oven, and was only going to be using the grill for the rest of the summer as a way to beat the heat. He has done a good job grilling outside more, but I just can’t seem to stop using the oven. Even though temperatures [...]
Spring Shepherd’s Pie
I have been craving potatoes ever since I made those awesome Crispy New Potatoes when I was in Austin last week. Instead of making them again for Carlo to try, I decided to make some Spring Shepherd’s Pie and get my mashed potato fix instead. Shepherd’s Pie is normally associated with stodgy cold weather food, [...]
Beef Skewers Marinated in Harissa and Yogurt with Cucumber Salad
Saturday evening was spent sitting outside with Carlo on our patio  pouring over all the new food magazines that had arrived in the mail that day while drinking Bulleit Lemonades and smelling these Beef Skewers Marinated in Harissa and Yogurt on the grill. It was perhaps the perfect way to spend a lazy Saturday evening [...]
