Falafel Burgers
So we’re heading into picnic and cookout weather, and we have some holidays coming up that might result in you getting invited to some cookouts. Mary Kate and I thought it’d be a good idea to have some burgers that are safe for those of us allergies that we can prep ahead of time and…

Awesome Curry
Disclaimer: This is not an original recipe. But it’s the best curry I’ve ever made at home, and as such, I want to share it with all of you today. With full credit to the author and cookbook, of course. The Chickpea and Spinach Curry comes from one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Isa Chandra…

Come Home to Chicken Stew
Who likes coming home to dinner already made? ME! But hey, I’m single and I work full-time. Wait. I have a crock pot. If you don’t have a house-spouse, your best friend would be the crock pot. Plug it in as you leave, come home to dinner. It’s happiness in an appliance. Feel free to…

Happy President's Day! All-American Chicken Ranch Burgers
So Denise and I decided to go theme-ways for this particular Monday holiday. What does the theme of “Presidents’ Day” conjure up for you? Let me tell you, I had IDEAS. Many of them were particularly complicated, some were elaborate, and my fridge is still full of ingredients I bought while over-thinking my options. What…
