Hotdog Sundaes

February 22, 2011 3 Comments

    You know what the worst kind of day is? The worst kind of day is when you’re hungry after a long day of doing absolutely nothing, and you shuffle over to the fridge for sustenance only to realize that your leftovers are unappetizing, you’re not in the mood for pasta, and everything else…read more »

Kimchi Bokumbop (Kimchi Fried Rice)

February 5, 2011 1 Comment

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! All last week I had grand plans to make jiao zi (dumplings) and dou sha bao (steamed buns with red bean paste) and other Chinese goodies, but somehow I never got around to it. Fortunately, the New Year is supposed to be celebrated for 15 days, so I’ve still got…read more »

Smothered Pork Chops

January 27, 2011 4 Comments

Today was supposed to be a lazy day. I was going to meet a friend at a restaurant near work and let the pros take care of my dinner while Dan fended for himself at home. But then a thunder/snow storm set in and my dinner plans were cancelled as both my friend and I…read more »

Salsa Chicken

January 26, 2011 Leave a Comment

I woke up this morning and my brain immediately turned to dinner. For reasons I can’t fathom, I really wanted to make a dish that involved baked chicken and salsa. Have I ever eaten this dish before? No. Have I ever seen it made? Nope. I guess I was just feeling kind of zesty. A…read more »

Pan Seared Tilapia with Avgolemono Sauce

January 25, 2011 Leave a Comment

I’ve been in kind of a cooking rut lately. I haven’t been reading as many cooking blogs, and no recipes have been particularly eye-catching or inspiring. So, we’ve been eating a lot of delivery — Chinese food, Domino’s…the usual junky suspects. And lets not forget the long weekend in Colorado, where we gorged ourselves on…read more »

Glazed Pork Chops

January 5, 2011 2 Comments

My first kitchen adventures of the new year ended in complete disaster. Dan and I had just gotten back from a day of skiing, and I really wanted warm bread rolls and a steaming bowl of beef bourguignon for dinner. But, I was too tired and hungry to make a Julia Child-esque meal, so I…read more »

Salt and Pepper Chicken

Anyone who went to college in the Boston/Cambridge area has ordered from Quan’s Kitchen at least once. Generous portions of greasy Chinese food, low prices, and delivery until 1am — what more could a college kid want? Pulling an all-nighter to study for a test? Order some Quan’s to keep your energy up. Hungry after…read more »

Mushroom Tart

December 20, 2010 Leave a Comment

This post is kinda misleading because I did not cook a single meal this week. Yup. It’s true. Zero. Cooking. We ate out 3 out of the 5 days, ordered in another day, and the rest of the time we ate leftovers. The tart you see here was actually last weekend — I just forgot…read more »

Shrimp Carbonara

December 1, 2010 2 Comments

Dan was feeling under the weather today and had to leave work early. What does one feed to a sick person? Ginger ale and soda crackers? How boring! And so sad. I figured something heartier would perk his immune system up faster. I’ve been reading Closet Cooking a lot lately, and the guy loves his shrimp. He’s…read more »

Crab Cakes

Dan hates grocery shopping with me. He says that no matter what I have written down on my shopping list, and no matter how many times I say that “this is gonna be a real quick trip, I promise!” I always end up meandering down the aisles and walking away with 50 extra things “I…read more »
