    Orange Spiced Stewed Chicken Thighs and Greens

    Everything about winter here in Seattle screams “eat hot food with warming spices.” I thought I knew what I was getting into, weather-wise, as I lived in Oregon for three years. You know what Seattle has that Eugene, OR does not? WATER. Puget Sound and multiple lakes. From the hill we live on, we can…

  • Apple Sausage Pasta

    This dish is kind of an accident. I like to keep chicken sausages around as they are quick and easy for nights where I don’t really want to cook but want hot food. I started buying the apple sausages recently just for something different, and they seemed to beg for a different treatment than my…

  • Grilled Caribbean Chicken

    I’m hoping this is the last post on my slow-as-tortoises laptop; new one should ship this week! I’m not sure why this chicken is “Caribbean,” exactly. The lime juice, maybe? What I can tell you is that this is an “old” family recipe (and by “old,” I mean my mother learned it sometime in the…

  • Chopped Cobbish Salad in a Jar, gluten-free, allergy-friendly

    This recipe comes from two sources. First, a salad I read about on a menu and was really excited to try — until I was informed by our knowledgeable server that all the sauces and dressings at the restaurant were unsafe for me. How is it possible that not a single sauce was allergy-friendly? I…

  • Crock Pot Chicken Stock, a concept

    Here’s your thought experiment for this bright Monday: you live in New England. The snow piles are so high that you, in your sensible, fuel-efficient sedan, can’t see to turn corners. Another blizzard is predicted — the third in a few weeks — to last two days. But you live in New England, and you…

  • Quick Thai-Inspired Curry Noodle Stir Fry

      Thai food was one of the biggest losses for me.  My husband and I had our first date at a Thai restaurant, and I used to get delivery there so often that the staff knew it was me just from my voice on the telephone. It was not uncommon for us to have Thai…

  • Summer Strawberry Spinach Salad

    So far this summer in New Hampshire, we’ve had sweltering heat interspersed with rainy cool weather. Given the quick changes, it’s been hard to grocery shop effectively — who knows when it’s going to be way too hot to cook? Part of my solution has been to buy things that I can cook ahead, sometime…

  • Tandoori Chicken Burgers

    Hey, it’s our second burger post!  I really hope you’re finding some options or getting some ideas about what to bring to barbeques this summer — or what to serve at your own. For some reason when Denise and I were discussing burgers, I was somewhat fixated on Indian spices.  I love Indian food, but…
