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 ...

This is another great recipe from Central Market - an Italian take on a classic roast chicken. The original recipe called for chopped onion and pancetta in the rub, which I substituted with more garlic and some nice nitrate/nitrite free applewood smoked bacon (from the always excellent Niman Ranch). ...

This is another recipe inspired by one at Central Market. The orginal recipe called for packaged pre-shredded potatoes, which would work just fine for a weeknight shortcut, but for a Sunday dinner, I grated my own potato. This would work great with any firm fish like salmon or ...

Another tasty stand-by dinner of ours, beer roasted chicken. To save some dishes, I put some little fingerling potatoes in the rimmed baking sheet. They stayed dry and got pretty crispy throughout the cooking process, only getting a little beer and chicken baste at the end as I ...

An easy and tasty side dish! Potatoes are a good healthy starch, and roasting them makes a nice crispy exterior with a tender interior. You can easily change the seasonings to match your tastes and the rest of your meal. I often add thyme and oregano.
