For when you’re looking for a particular kind of meal.
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’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’ll turn anything and everything into nachos. It’s one of my favorite ways to utilize leftovers. There aren’t a lot of things that don’t go well spread over tortilla chips and doused in cheese! The other day I made Miniature Quiche w/ Cheddar & Broccoli. […]
It’s officially spring. The price of eggs has skyrocketed lately, but I cannot fathom a world without eggs. I’ve had chickens a couple of times and have gone whole swaths of my life where I pretty much lived on eggs. They’re a hearty food that’s […]
