Tonight's dinner was inspired by a Cooking Light recipe. I chose to use whole skinless boneless chicken thighs, and I also omitted the pasta and the cheese. This was a very good meal, and one that I'll repeat again. We both love mushrooms and chicken, and the ...

This is an easy, though time consuming, way to bring out the best of root veggies and potatoes. I had a bunch of beets, baby turnips, and potatoes to use up from this weeks CSA box before I pick up the new one tomorrow, so I made a lovely ...

This was a decently tasty meal for me just winging it. I didn't like this teriyaki sauce as much as my usual version, but it wasn't bad. The peas were from my CSA box, and I steamed them for about 6 minutes to get them just crisp-tender. ...

This was a very quick and easy light dinner for a rainy evening after a beautiful weekend! The mushrooms can be replaced with fresh, or even omitted if you aren't a fan, but I like the subtle umami flavor that they add.

This recipe is mostly inspired by this one from Simply Recipes, with the addition of water chestnuts and zucchini. Neither of us were fans of this version. It was mostly bland, and the slight numbing from the Sichuan peppercorns was just odd. Next time I'll find a ...

Another take on low carb burgers - these I made with 85% lean ground beef, similarly seasoned with salt, pepper, and a bit of Worcestershire; each patty about 1/4 lb and 1/2 inch thick; and grilled for about 4 minutes on each side. To go with it, I sauteed ...

We cleaned off the big pillow chair of the accumulated junk, and Emma and I promptly enjoyed our nest. She and I both love the big comfy pillow :-)
