We fell even more in love with Japanese cuisine when Shaun did a tour of duty over in Yokosuka several years ago. Japanese curry is a common comfort food over there, easy to make with just about whatever you have on hand, tasty, filling, and decently well balanced nutritionally. If ...

This is a lighter version of my scalloped potatoes with ham. There's less sauce, and it's made with whole milk instead of half and half. Not quite as decadent, but still quite good and satisfying for a dinner.

An update to my pot roast recipe, this adds one small finely grated zucchini and a bit of ketchup to the broth, which adds some great body. Steven got to try a carrot and was quite a fan too. :-)

This easy and fast side dish comes together in no time. The fresh flavor is easily customized for whatever you're serving it with. I had some baked chicken, so I added thyme into the zucchini. Next time I might throw in some cherry tomatoes too. Very ...

We recently tried a couple new items that we enjoyed, so I'll share them here.
First up, Niman Ranch Kentucky Bourbon Uncured Sausages. These sausages were flavorful without being overwhelming, and were lacking the grease factor that so many sausages have. We enjoyed these with some quick braised brussels ...

I tried the garlic mix on some chicken thighs tonight, just drizzling ...
