These are straight from Ree at The Pioneer Woman. They're incredibly tasty. I usually scrape out all the seeds and membrane from the peppers, which makes them pretty mild, but if you want more of a spicy hit, just leave in some of the membrane and seeds. ...

Another dairy-filled dinner that Shaun wouldn't appreciate tonight. I'll have leftovers for lunches for the rest of the week too :-)
This is some great comfort food - warm and filling. Sometimes I'll layer thin slices of bell pepper in with the potatoes and pretend ...

I saw this recipe on Elizabeth's Edible Experience and just had to make it right away. Shaun's out for some late nights with work, so I get to experiment in the kitchen, and this has many ingredients that I love that he isn't too fond of, such as artichokes, ...

Swai is a type of mild white fish, slightly sweet and almost egg-y tasting, that is farmed mostly in southeast Asia. It is also called Basa or Vietanmese Catfish, though it is not related ...

Tonight's dinner was a nice little locally produced honey ham (from Hempler's Meats) baked in the oven and served with some roasted asparagus. I love the big bone-in hams, especially made with a variation of Nigella Lawson's recipe for Ham in Cola, but with just the two of us, ...

Guacamole is another one of those intensely personal things. This is the way I make mine: chunky, garlicky, and fresh. Tweak it to suit your own tastes! We had this as a condiment with some beef and bean burritos.
A couple notes on ingredients:
