Baked Panko Breaded Shrimp

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

This easy recipe is very similar to the tonkatsu pork recipe. Baking reduces the fat. I just did these in our toaster oven so I wouldn't have to wait on the large oven for such a small recipe. They are quite bland, so after taking the picture ...

Biscuits and Hamburger Gravy

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

This was a quick hearty breakfast constructed from yesterdays leftovers - a leftover hamburger patty and a couple biscuits. It can easily be scaled up to serve more, browning meat from scratch and adding seasoning as you like. If you prefer a country gravy, just replace the beef ...

Smoked Sausage and Brussels Sprouts Serves 2 generously 1 large link, 14 oz, smoked sausage, cut into 1/4 inch thick rounds 1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half ...

Garlic Rubbed Pork Tenderloin and Roasted Summer Squash

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Another simple and tasty dinner tonight. I preheated the oven to 425 degrees F, sliced up about 3 pounds of romanesco summer squash into 3/4 inch thick rounds, sprinkled them with kosher salt and black pepper and popped them in the oven. I then made a rub from ...

Cobb Salad

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

There are probably as many variations of Cobb Salad as there are people that make it. This is the version I made tonight. Avocado is pretty traditional, but sadly the one I had in the fridge had gone mushy and grey :-( Blue ...

Simple Broiled Flanken Cut Short Ribs and Easy Brown Rice

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

I was going to do some galbi tonight, but the lack of motivation is still quite present, so I just sprinkled the meat with some kosher salt and black pepper and broiled them until nicely browned. With some grape tomatoes and a cup of brown Minute Rice, one of ...

Product Review: Buitoni Wild Mushroom Agnolotti

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Tonight, lacking in motivation to cook at all, I boiled some water and had some Buitoni Wild Mushroom Agnolotti, found near the lunch meats and refrigerated biscuits and the like in the grocery store. I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty these were. Not as good as handmade ...

An Easy Dinner

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Tonight we had a super easy dinner - turkey smoked sausage, roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and scrambled eggs. I've talked about the turkey smoked sausage before, and I just sliced it up and browned it in a skillet. The broccoli and cauliflower I sprayed lightly with olive ...

Braised Baby Turnips and Turnip Greens

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

I've never had turnips that I can recall, but these sweet little globes have sold me for life on them! I could have eaten the whole bunch on my own, but I was nice and shared with Shaun :-P The gorgeous farm fresh ...

A Hearty Lunch

Monday, May 31st, 2010

This was going to be dinner last night, but we ended up just foraging for some snacks. It made a nice lunch, though! Black Bean and Ham Soup with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
