Mediterranean Fried Rice
On a recent trip that took us through Scranton, PA, I had an awesome dish that the menu called “Lebanese Fried Rice.” It was brown rice, chickpeas, walnuts, and some vegetables, and it was a perfect lunch. I loved it, and thought that it would make a simple, hearty side dish for the blog, though…

Sriracha Sweet Potato DIY Tater Tots
Okay, I know I already did a bunch of tater tots, but I had to do a chili head version. Seriously, you expected that I’d just leave it alone? I often use Sriracha (my homemade version, as I no longer can use the commercial version, sob, sob, although mine’s pretty close) instead of ketchup…

Seared Tuna Steak Salad
This is one of those areas where Denise and I diverge — neither of us is allergic to fish, but I love tuna, and she hates it. Conversely, she loves haddock, and I, eh, can’t get excited about it. If you’re pro-tuna, this might be your recipe. The first time I had tuna — and…

Mary Kate’s Perfect Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
The problem with chocolate chip cookies? Everyone likes them differently. Some people like them soft, others chewy, some crunchy. This is why there are a billion recipes out there. And when your recipe no longer works for you, you might try 5 recipes and still be disappointed. Because “just like Mom made” may not be…

Autumn Spiced Pork Loin
As I said a couple of weeks ago, I’m drowning in apples. In addition to all the apple canning projects I’ve been doing, I’m trying to cook with them too. So I came up with doing a pork loin with a rub using apple pie/mulled cider spices on a bed of onions and apples. Autumn…
