Last fall L. was trying to find a tea that he might like. He did not, and I ended up with the remainders of several scented tea samplers,...

L. and I were split on this one. We both felt that it was delicious, but L. felt that adding an actual burger to the dish would have...

I was not a huge fan of meatloaf growing up. My mom didn't make it and, the rare times that I ate it at a friend's house it always tasted...

Obviously this is not a traditional dish since pork would probably not be used as the protein of choice in any self-respecting tagine...

Another easy dish, where the oven does most of the work for you. I served this with mashed potatoes and steamed rainbow chard (not...

I quite enjoyed these, as did L. In fact, I would have fought him for the last ribs had there been any left after our first go-around......

This dish is an excellent gateway meal to soup and stew season and I got lucky - it is unseasonably chilly tonight and this hearty stew...

Here is the original version of this dish. I have added to it over time - different vegetables, shirataki noodles as well as pickled...

My sister loves BLTs (which my mom makes for her upon request when she feels the need for one) and her partner is a vegetarian so I tend...

I've made variations of this before, one with lettuce and one with romaine, both very successful with L. so, when I got collard greens in...

Another surprisingly flavorful and easy dish; a take on the Japanese classic shoga-yaki. We cooked these on the outside grill and the...
