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 a quick and easy meal that uses leftover chicken. I used meat leftover from my beer braised chicken (about half a chicken's worth). You could grill up a pound of skinless boneless thighs or breast and chop it up if you don't happen to have leftovers ...

This recipe is one of Jamie Oliver's. We thought we'd like this, as we like all of the ingredients, as well as breaded chicken, but somehow this just didn't work well for our tastes. We won't be making this again, but if it floats your boat, go for ...

This is an iteration of my chicken cacciatore. It has a bit less chicken and even more veggies, making it even more weight loss friendly. We really enjoy this meal - a big bowl of tasty Italian stew, warming and satisfying for a chilly January evening.

This is a fast and easy one pan dinner. Skinless boneless chicken thighs and small brussels sprouts are seasoned with salt and pepper, browned in olive oil, then braised in a somewhat dry white wine. I used a moscato (Beringer), but a chardonnay would work well here too. ...

We love Chicago-style pizza, and there's just none to be had in Seattle. I found a recipe for sourdough pizza crust on the King Arthur Flour website, and gave it a go in a cast iron skillet. It turned out really well! We went cheese-less, but if ...

We made our traditional standing rib roast for Christmas dinner this year. We splurged and got a Kobe beef roast from the wonderful Snake River Farm. I documented the whole cooking process since it was such an indulgence. The roast was outstanding, though maybe not worth quite ...

Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday filled with food, friends, and family!
On the menu for us this year:
