Rosemary & Thyme Crusted Prime Rib Roast

March 31, 2012 4 Comments

The last time I ate prime rib was at Christmas, when we were visiting Dan’s family. It was amazingly delicious, and I’ve been wanting to reproduce it in my kitchen since then. But, prime rib roasts are huge and it’s just me and Dan in the house most days, so I haven’t really been too…read more »

Crock Pot Chili

November 29, 2011 12 Comments

Hello, all! Hope your Thanksgiving was as fun-, food-, and family-filled as ours. Well, maybe not quite as much “fun” — I certainly hope nobody else was stuck at the airport for 9 hours on Turkey Day. But that’s a story for another day. Today I want to talk to you guys about Crock Pot Chili…read more »

Chicken Pesto Pizza

November 4, 2011 7 Comments

I’m guest posting again on Milli’s blog today, and I’ve decided to share my recipe for Chicken Pesto Pizza. When I was working at the courthouse, one of my favorite things to get for lunch at the Judge’s Dining Room was the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. Grilled chicken, thick slices of fresh mozzarella and spinach sandwiched…read more »

Octopus Sausages

October 28, 2011 26 Comments

Aren’t these sausages the cutest things you’ve ever seen??? I see them packed into bentos all the time in the mangas I read, but I never thought they were actually possible to make. So, when I saw a step-by-step recipe for octopus sausages in my new favorite food-themed manga, I knew what my Halloween blog…read more »

General Tso’s Chicken

October 24, 2011 39 Comments

My friend Peng has been bugging me to make General Tso’s chicken for several months now. He lives in California and is really into the Asian-Mexican fusion thing, so he’s fixated on the idea of a General Tso’s burrito with fried rice and kimchi. I don’t know how I feel about that, but I’m nothing…read more »

Mini Bagel Sandwiches with Turkey, Lettuce, and Tomato

October 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

In law school, when I was short on cash (almost always), or on a health kick (every time my jeans felt too tight), I would decide to be good and pack myself lunch everyday. I ate the same thing every single day — turkey sandwich on wheat — but I never got bored of eating…read more »

Smoked Salmon and Mozzarella Crostini

October 15, 2011 8 Comments

Last month, Dan and I were up in Massachusetts for his cousin Pete’s wedding. It was awesome; possibly one of the best weddings we’ve ever been to. The weather was amazing, the outdoor venue was gorgeous, the ceremony was short and sweet, the dance floor was jumpin’, and there was an open bar + servers…read more »

Perfectly Mouthwatering Pot Roast

October 7, 2011 2 Comments

So apparently The Pioneer Woman has upped the ante on being awesome and landed herself a show on the Food Network. And yes, she is just as adorably quirky on TV as she is on her blog, her cowboy husband is a hunk, and her kids are frickin’ angels. I want to be her when I grow…read more »

Spinach and Sausage Ravioli

October 3, 2011 19 Comments

At our house, the rule is that if I cook, Dan has to do the dishes. This is great, because I hate doing the dishes. Even with a dishwasher, I really have to motivate myself to clear the sink, since the dishes still have to be put away once they’re clean. What a hassle. The…read more »

Dan in the Kitchen — Ranch Burgers

September 22, 2011 Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I made a batch of brioche buns with hamburgers in mind. But, they turned out to be small and biscuit-like, so I decided to eat them for breakfast instead, maybe slathered with a little jam or cherry butter. Problem is, there are a lot of buns, and I don’t actually eat breakfast much. Dan doesn’t…read more »
