This is my go-to recipe for biscuits. It's adapted from The Joy of Cooking. The buttermilk lends a lovely tang. These work well as a side dish for many meals, as the base to biscuits and gravy, or as the base to many a dessert.

I've been craving hamburgers for a while now. These are an easy American classic and they really hit the spot! I just served them with some Ruffles Natural Sea Salt Potato Chips (reduced fat and taste like actual potatoes :-) ) and a tossed green ...

Lanna Thai on Evergreen Way is one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. We'd been meaning to try this place for months and finally got around to it. We enjoyed jasmine green tea, wonderfully fresh and hot spring rolls, Pad See Ew with shrimp, and Pad ...

This is another attempt at recreating the wonderfully flavorful chicken at El Pollo Loco, one of the few things I miss about Southern California (most of which seem to be food related :-P ). I found this recipe here via Google. The source is listed ...

This is a traditional Irish-American dinner. It's not all that popular over in Ireland; you're much more likely to find a lamb stew. Nonetheless, it is a very tasty meal and a nice way to mark Saint Patrick's Day.

This is a traditional Irish quick bread. It's leavened with baking powder and baking soda, so it comes together quickly. It made a lovely side to the corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage. I made mine with half whole wheat flour this year, not out of any desire ...

Tonight's dinner was Tortilla Crusted Tilapia and Lime Cilantro Rice, like the rice you get at Chipotle or Qdoba, with some chili beans.
This was an experiment, as we'd never tried either recipe before. It wasn't bad, but we both found ourselves wishing for a simpler fish inside ...

With the warmer weather tonight was another grilling night. I made my version of galbi, Korean style grilled beef, which I've blogged about before here. I increased the quantities of soy sauce and sake a bit just to get better coverage on the meat this time around. ...

Yesterday was a nice warm day - it got up to the high 50s. We got out to grill dinner before the rain returned. This is just a flat iron steak sprinkled very generously with montreal steak seasoning and grilled. The steak was a bit past the ...
