Chicken noodle soup tonight - I had a dentist appointment after work, so an easy to chew dinner was in order. Today I browned the butter a bit for more flavor, used leftover rotisserie chicken, used fiori instead of egg noodles, and used some fresh thyme since I had ...

I've posted this before, but the picture wasn't all that great, and as it's one of our stand-by easy meals, I figured it was worth re-posting :-) This is restaurant quality with very little fuss. I usually don't bother with the parsley, but it's a nice touch ...

This is a rich chicken dish - one piece is very satisfying. This was my first attempt at frying, and it went okay, but it's still a learning process for now. The recommended temperature of 350 degrees for the oil was too hot, though. The chicken got ...

We try to take Emma to a dog park at least once a month, and more often if we can and the weather cooperates. Today we went to our local favorite, Ebey Island. It was just Emma and I today - Shaun stayed home to work on beating ...

This is my next iteration of that Chinese restaurant classic, hot and sour soup. This is getting really close to my ideal now, and I think it might at this point just be a matter of adding a bit more vinegar and/or pepper to suit my taste on that ...

I know next to nothing about wines, and tend to dislike or barely tolerate the flavor of most of them except in cooking applications, so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened a bottle of Pasek Cellars Blackberry Wine and was greeted with a real aroma of blackberries :-P ...

This excellent recipe is inspired by Fine Cooking's Soups and Stews special issue (also available online). I modified it for our taste and what I had around: boneless chicken, reducing the oil, omitting the onion and adding some onion powder for some of the flavor, increasing the quantities of ...

A quick and easy breakfast that I packed up to take to work with me today. I just melted half a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet, used kitchen shears to cut my last wedge of cabbage and 2 slices of corned beef into little pieces, added them ...

I usually make my corned beef and veggies in the crockpot, but today I did them on the stovetop, since I wouldn't be home to put in the veggies at the halfway point. It turned out just as good.
I also baked my soda bread, which was good as always.
