Happy Chinese New Year!
We had egg drop soup and a lovely veggie filled pork stir fry for dinner tonight. Neither of us was much a fan of the egg drop soup, so I'm not going to post the recipe. The vinegar that the recipe called ...

This is an easy and tasty side dish. The method works with other vegetables as well. Since this was accompanying teriyaki chicken bowls, I tossed in half vegetable oil and half sesame oil rather than my usual olive oil.

This is very similar to my crockpot version of beef stew, but done on the stove top in about an hour. The only real change to the ingredients is adding more beef broth since it doesn't have all day to sit in a crockpot and release juices.

This coleslaw has no mayo, which makes it nicely suited for picnics, potlucks, and other places where you won’t necessarily have refrigeration. I also prefer the vinaigrette over a creamy sauce in any case. Today I cheated a bit and used a 1 pound bag of coleslaw mix ...

This is another Thanksgiving side dish gracing our table this year. Roasted potatoes are much more flavorful than your standard mashed potatoes, and the roasted garlic goes well on rolls as well as just being eaten plain. I just cooked these alongside the turkey.

This is an Alton Brown recipe. It's new to our Thanksgiving table this year.
