While going through our cookbooks I came across several booklets that came along with our appliances, and in the booklets were suggested recipes. In the one for our InstaPot, there was a recipe for coconut fish curry. I decided to zjuzj it up with several different spices and landed upon this recipe here.
Read MoreWe’ve been trying to consolidate our recipe books and getting rid of ones whose recipes no longer serve us. While thumbing through one of our cooking lite books, we came across this recipe that we’d flagged, literally years ago as something we wanted to make. Aaron has a natural aversion to putting anything other than spices on salmon since it has its own natural flavor. But I loves me a good sauce. So we figured we’d give it a try. I only made a few small modifications to it. But it was a bonified hit!
Read MoreThis was the experiment of all experiments for several reasons. Usually, brisket is smoked. But we live in an apartment so that wasn’t going to happen. Therefore, we had to figure out how to make it in the oven without being dry AF. Also, you’re usually cooking 5+ pounds of brisket. I got the 2-pound brisket on managers special (look, the entertainment industry is on strike and times are hard). And a smaller cut of meat runs a higher risk of, once again, being dry AF. The Black-eyed peas were an experiment too. The hubby and I both hate black eye peas. Or I should say, hated black eyed peas. When we went to Louisiana for my father’s funeral, family there made black eyed peas like I’ve NEVER eaten before.
Read MoreOnce of our sister friends, Vicky, breezes into town like once a year and throws down for three straight days in the kitchen. One of our favorite dishes of hers is salmon stew. We’ve been trying to perfect it for years and still haven’t gotten it right. But damnit if our version isn’t a decent version.
Read MoreAaron and I have been running our way through every southern recipe that we can get our hands on. And the only way to make ourselves feel less guilt about it is to make sure to have a hearty green on the side. So without further ado, I present smothered chicken with Asian citrus brussels sprout slaw.
Read MoreAaron and I were planning to make something else with the chicken that we’d taken out to thaw. However, we were missing several key ingredients, so we had to shift. He, after consulting our pal @AndreaMakesDinner and searching through our refrigerator, came up with this delish dish.
Read MoreI WAS MAKING SOME FIRE TURKEY WINGS WHE I REALIZED I DIDN’T HAVE ANY TYPE OF SIDE TO GO WITH IT. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND I FOUND THIS TASTY RECIPE.
Read MoreI was invited to a Juneteenth party and was unsure of what to bring or even what a Juneteenth party was supposed to be. Anyway, I didn’t want to bring anything too heavy. And for some wild reason, my friends rely on me for booze. Go figure.
So I decided to whip up a nice “light” sangria. There are a bunch of recipes out there that I sampled from. The end result was a real crowd pleaser. I made 6 liters of this shit and it was gone within an hour of my arrival.
Read MoreI love this recipe because it’s not only yummy, but also pretty darn healthy. It was one of the recipes I relied on heavily while doing a 2-month cleanse that required me to have a pescatarian diet.
Read MoreI have some really fond memories of a turkey wing phase my dad went through. He would go on these kicks where he would make something like once a week until he felt he’d perfected it. One of those things was turkey wings. I don’t have his recipe. In fact, I think he makes it more by feel than anything. But after finding some on sale at the supermarket, I did some research on the interwebs and combined several recipes to come up with this little ditty.
Read MoreA while back I was supposed to be purchasing maple syrup and got honey instead. That wasn’t such a big deal, except I had JUST bought honey from Costco. So I had way more honey than anyone ever needs. I looked up some recipes that incorporate honey and this one looked delish.
Read MoreThis was so good that we plan to keep a steady supply of lamb on deck.
Read MoreI love chicken piccata. So when I saw a recipe for veal piccata meatballs, I was pretty sure that it would be good. Trust, I was right.
Read MoreI’d bought some wasabi powder and had no idea what to do with it. And yea, that’s basically how this happened.
Read MoreThis is simply a carby, meat and cheese filled recipe of foolishness.
Read MoreI love chicken. I love sauces. I love fried things. But I hate not being able to button my pants. So I decided to try some non-fried recipes. This one wasn’t too terrible. I may try it again.
Read MoreI wasn’t sure if I was going to like this because I have a bit of a love hate relationship with drumsticks. I think they’re good in theory but not practice. Anyway, not only were the drumsticks good, but the broccoli was extra good and we’ve added it to our veggie side rotation.
Read MoreThe first time I tried to make this, I didn’t have the apricot preserves. So I ended up making a bourbon sauce with fresh rosemary and other miscellaneous ingredients and it turned out pretty awful. So I was a little nervous this time around but it ended up being sooooo goood. Damn rosemary…gets me every time.
