I always used to think I was an adventurous eater, but lately I’ve realized that my dining habits are really boring. I literally eat the same things every day. Yogurt for breakfast, hummus & avocado sandwiches for lunch, fruit and nuts for a mid morning/afternoon snack, and whatever’s leftover in the fridge for dinner. When…read more »
Omelette in a Mug
So, once again, Dan has abandoned me for the mountains of Tahoe. And guys? It’s pretty great. (Sorry Dan!) The house is quiet, my Kindle is loaded with new murder mysteries just waiting to be read, I’ve got The Hunger Games playing on TV, and there are two sleepy cats purring up a storm on either side…read more »
Open-Faced Portobello Burger
Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone! And, happy Inauguration! Did you guys watch the festivities on TV this morning? I did, and let me tell you…the view from my couch this year was way better (and warmer) than it was in 2008 when my friends and I packed into the National Mall to see the action. And,…read more »
Spinach & Mushroom Pita Pizza
Happy 2013, everyone! Did you guys eat as much over the holidays as I did? Man, it was ridiculous. Between all the parties and family dinners and weddings, I am stuffed to the gills with good food. Cookies, cake, fudge, roasts, steaks, biscuits, pies, potatoes, pasta…the list just went on and on. Everything was fabulously…read more »
Asian-Style Stir Fried Green Beans
[Update 11/23/2014 – Made a batch of these green beans for a Friendsgiving gathering today, and figured there was no time like the present to update the pictures in this post, which is now 2 years old. Not re-writing the post itself though…that’s WAY too ambitious for a Sunday.] Guys, studying for the bar sucks. I’ve been…read more »
Butternut Squash Soup
Editor’s Note: Today’s blog post is brought to you by my friend Job. We met my freshman year of college when I stumbled into his fraternity house after a boat cruise. I sat down next to him on the stairs, he bit me in the leg, and a magical friendship was born. These days Job…read more »
Dan in the Kitchen — Roasted Parsley and Garlic Baby Potatoes
So, last year I cooked my mom a delicious Chinese birthday lunch, complete with a homemade Chinese bakery-style birthday cake. For my dad’s birthday a few months before that, we went to Red Lobster and got him one of those giant fruit tarts from Safeway. Looking back, that didn’t seem fair, since my dad is…read more »
Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
My friend Mark came over for lunch yesterday. He’s a fantastic cook. During law school he was constantly whipping up delicious treats in his kitchen and bringing them to class. You’d think all that cooking would be a distraction during school, but he was also acing all his classes, teaching legal research and writing to…read more »
Goat Cheese and Colby Jack Sandwich with Kimchi, Spinach, and a Runny Egg
Guys, I just had the greatest sandwich ever for lunch — wheat toast, two kinds of melted cheese, spinach, kimchi, and a runny egg. So messy, so flavorful, so amazingly delicious. I’ve learned from reading my friend Sam’s food blog this year that a runny egg makes everything extra delicious. And, as everyone knows, kimchi…read more »
Dan in the Kitchen — Creamed Spinach
Dan’s back in the kitchen folks, and this time he’s making creamed spinach for a cozy little dinner party. As my “sous-chef”, he technically had a hand in every other dish served — shredding cheese for the mac n’ cheese, mashing potatoes for the garlic mashed potatoes, etc. — but this was the dish that…read more »
