Red wine caramelized onions are a classic for onion lovers and haters alike. Honestly, I don’t like onions. They’re bitter. They’re stringy. And they make me cry. Which is unfortunate because I work in the restaurant industry! People like to say that you get over […]
I’ve been gearing up to make Red Wine Marinara. It’s not the most difficult of recipes. The key is really just slowly simmering tomatoes until thickened. I really dislike the way that food blogs treat tomatoes, though. It might be convenient to use canned tomatoes. […]
I like to test out new products. I’m in the restaurant industry. There’s very little difference between high-end consumer and low-end professional culinary products. And, quite frankly, you don’t have to ask me twice if I want a fancy schmancy new red Dutch oven (this […]
I don’t eat a lot of meat. I have an entire article on What Does “Mostly Vegetarian” Mean & Will I Post Meat Recipes? because I almost never post recipes with meat and always debate about being a part of the “pseudo-vegetarian” community. And I […]
The other day I made Curry w/ Multicolored Potatoes, Peanuts, & Sprouts by puréeing whole, unroasted peanuts. And it got me thinking… What else can I purée into curry?? I’m constantly mixing and matching seemingly disparate ingredients that I have on hand. So, making a […]
I didn’t necessarily go into this expecting that I would make Peanut Butter Quinoa. I’ve been having quite the experimental assortment of food lately, though. I’ve made Curry w/ Multicolored Potatoes, Peanuts, & Sprouts, Cheesecake w/ Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ganache, and Curry w/ Bananas, […]
I’m a big fan of cheesecakes. Every year around my birthday, I inevitably make myself a cheesecake. Which means that I go to Costco and have copious amounts cream cheese. And I either have to make an enormous amount of cheesecake or I have to […]
I’ve been making a lot of curries lately. The weather is turning to summer and I suppose that I wanted to get in all of my hot food fixes all at once! Although it’s finally pretty warm. Wisconsin routinely hovers around the 80s and 90s […]
This week I made Stovetop Pinto Beans w/ Yellow Onion & Garlic and Wild Rice w/ Sweet Potatoes, Yellow Onions, & Limes. They’re both fun and simple recipes to throw together in a pinch. And that means that I’m absolutely going to make a burrito! […]
I made Stovetop Black Beans w/ Shallots & Garlic the other day. I tend to think of summer as being beans and rice season. We’re not quite there yet because the fresh produce that I ordinarily grow during the summer is still knee high to […]
