Roasted Hatch Green Chile, Black Bean, and Chicken Enchiladas

This tasty Tyler Florence recipe for Roasted Hatch Green Chile, Black Bean, and Chicken Enchiladas takes an ordinary roasted deli chicken from the supermarket and turns it into a spectacular Mexican treat. Everything else in the rest of the recipe is made from scratch, aside from the tortillas, so not having to worry about roasting [...]

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 [...]

Grilled Peaches with Manchego and Balsamic Glaze

Keeping in line with last’s week post about trying to savor the last of the summer fruit and veg, here is a savory dessert using up the last of the summer’s peaches. Grilled peaches and Manchego cheese may sound like an odd combination, but the saltiness of the Spanish sheep’s milk cheese really plays off [...]

Twice Baked Potatoes with Cheese and Broccoli

Yesterday I was feeling really sick and rundown as the result of too many late nights and pints of Shiner Bock while back in Texas for a friend’s wedding over the weekend. Whenever I’m sick, I always crave baked potatoes filled with lots of cheddar cheese and broccoli. Last night I managed to feel better [...]

A Week of Salads, Part 1: Zucchini Carpaccio

Like I said last week, we have been eating a ton of salads lately, so in honor of the official start of summer (and the unofficial salad season), Recession Recipes will feature a new salad recipe each day this week. The first up is Zucchini Carpaccio from the awesome cookbook, The Cafe Cook Book: Italian [...]

Homemade Pizza with Jamie Oliver’s Pizza Dough

Pretty much every Sunday night, we make pizza at home (you can see lots of previous efforts here). Ever since we got a pizza stone as a wedding gift last year, it’s elevated our work to high art. Usually, we just buy the whole wheat dough from our local Fresh and Easy, since for $1.14 [...]

Lessons in Cooking Humility: The Cheese Turd

I’ve been on a pretty good streak in the kitchen lately. Ever since my meltdown over uncooperative puff pastry, I’ve been making some great recipes and more importantly really enjoying myself in the kitchen. Granted what you see on this website is edited, so we don’t post recipes that sounded good on paper, but didn’t [...]
