Looking for something to make for dinner? Or just as a side? Look no further for inspiration.
Many times I’m looking for something to make for breakfast or as a side for dinner or as a main course. I don’t necessarily know what I want to make. But I know that I want something in that general category!
This section is for when you just need a inspiration for a category of meal.
I am a “more is more” kind of person when it comes to making potatoes. I’ve also been traveling. I’m calling it “freelance traveling chef” work on my resume. Although it’s really just a fancy way of saying “unemployed chef who’s burned out on the […]
Aligot (pronounced, a-li-ɡo, like alligator, without the at- and -r) is a French dip made with mashed potatoes and cheese. “Mashed potatoes” is really kind of a misnomer, though. It’s really more like a fondue with a hint of potatoes. The more typical French recipe […]
I keep almost making stir fry. There’s something about getting out a big pan that makes me feel like I’m making a big meal. And, while a wok is indeed a big pan (or, at least pan-adjacent, if you want to get semantic about it), […]
I’m a big fan of salmon. I grew up on the West coast, so it’s ingrained in my culinary formative years. I don’t tend to eat much meat these days. Especially seafood that’s not great in this regional area. But it’s my go-to when I […]
I’m been on a pseudo-Moroccan kick lately and have been trying my hand at couscous a little bit. Couscous might look like quinoa and I want to assume that it will cook like quinoa and lentils, which I often cook in a rice cooker. They’re […]
I’ve just gotten back from a trip and am getting back in the swing of cooking again. Maybe not with a bang, but certainly with something. It was a working vacation and I do cook for a living, so I can’t entirely blame myself for […]
I’m fond of ladies brunches. Any excuse to get together, dress up, make fun food, and drink cocktails in the middle of the day is a good time to me! I’m also about to go out of town. So, I need to cook up what […]
People like to say that Graham Crackers make the best cheesecake crust. And, while this is a classic way to go, it’s not necessarily my favorite cheesecake crust out there. It’s a solid choice. It’s great for kids. Although there are other cookie options! Personally, […]
I did a Moroccan-inspired Christmas and made Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower w/ Tahini, Honey, & Wine. I don’t tend to eat a lot of cauliflower. This was so good, though, that I’ve been craving it ever since! I’ve been chopping up the cauliflower; tossing it […]
I adore macaroni and cheese. It’s one of my favorite things to make and is surprisingly simple to toss together from scratch. I’ll turn just about any and every cheese that I have lying around into macaroni and cheese. I have a local cheese shop […]
