Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chili Dressing
On Friday night, Carlo and I had a quiet night at home with a nice bottle of wine and we spent the evening cooking together. Our original menu included some bbq ribs, but upon defrosting the frozen ribs, they smelt a bit suspect so we quickly defrosted a pork tenderloin to grill instead. The Zatar-crusted [...]
Plum and Walnut Crisp
Here is the recipe for the Plum and Walnut Crisp that ended our meal with my parents last week. I had planned on serving homemade ginger ice cream with the crisp, but despite my best efforts with my brand new ice cream machine, the ginger custard would just not freeze. I think I will have [...]
Spiced Butternut Squash, Lentil, and Goat Cheese Salad
Today is the first day of fall, so it is only appropriate to post the perfect fall salad today: Spiced Butternut Squash, Lentil, and Goat Cheese Salad. The sweetness of the squash combined with the nuttiness of the French Puy lentils and the creamy tang of the goat cheese equals a hearty welcome to the [...]
Kogi Eggs Benedict
After enjoying the Kogi BBQ Tacos last week, I came up with a new way to enjoy the salty and sweet Kogi BBQ sauce for breakfast. Inspired by the Pulled Baby-Back Ribs Eggs Benedict, I chopped up a leftover pork chop and whipped up some of the Kogi BBQ sauce for it. We had some [...]
Chicken al Mattone, or Chicken Under A Brick
What’s better than cooking with building materials? When the latest issue of Bon Appetit arrived, the chicken on the front cover looked really good. Roast chicken, simple as it is, is one of my favorite foods, and this looked like an interesting twist. Flip to the article, and the recipe lists a brick under “Special [...]
Asparagus Fettuccine
I’ve been loving on the carbonara pastas lately, even though I know that they probably aren’t the most healthy dinner dishes to eat. This Jamie Oliver recipe for Asparagus Fettuccine has no bacon or creme fraiche, and in fact is pretty healthy. But when blended together, the slowly cooked veggies with vegetable broth become surprisingly [...]
Hatch Green Chile Season: Hatch Chile Huevos Rancheros
Today I got up early and headed to our local Albertsons, where they were roasting Hatch green chiles for the weekend. Thank god I got up early because they only had 250 sacks direct from Gillis Farm in Hatch, New Mexico and they had already sold 230 on Saturday. It turns out that I got [...]
Heirloom Tomato and Pesto Tart with Parmesan Crust
When we were in LA over the weekend to celebrate our anniversary, we went to the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning. While the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market in San Francisco is still my favourite market, the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market had some incredible looking produce, and a huge variety as well. Considering it [...]
Turkey Burgers with Tomato Jam, Olives, and Feta
Unfortunately, turkey burgers are often times a euphemism for a dry and cardboard-tasting poor substitute for a real burger. These Turkey Burgers with Tomato Jam, Olives, and Feta, however, are an exception. They were perhaps the tastiest turkey burgers that I had every eaten, let alone made at home. The thick chunks of onion, bits [...]
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 [...]
