Tiffany's Artichoke Dip
When I was in graduate school, we had a lot of parties. I’m a nerdy sort, so these weren’t “trash can punch” kind of parties, but beer and wine and mostly lots of food kind of parties. And they were always potluck, because no one had any money. Certain things became favorites, so people never…

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…

Year of the Snake Stir Fry
For the many years where the only allergen I needed to avoid was dairy, Asian restaurants of most types were a saving grace. With the exception of Indian cuisine, which uses cream and butter, most cuisines of the Asian continent use little to no dairy. Now that there are more allergens in my arsenal, it’s…

Therefore, I like my…

Amanda and Ken’s Smoky Sweet Potato Soup
Note (note 1): This post seems to have a lot of notes. My last year of grad school, my two roommates and I hosted somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 people for Thanksgiving. We added all the leaves of my drop-leaf table (I’m the last of the grandkids to get it, and it seats 12),…

Somewhat Germanic Potato Salad
I am not a religious person, but if there is one thing that makes me believe there might be some grand design to the world, it’s potatoes. They are a wonderful, versatile, almost perfect food (only “almost” because they don’t greatly lend themselves to dessert, Grand Forks’ chocolate-covered potato chips notwithstanding). I feel as though…

Grilled Salsa
It’s still summer and there’s lots of good stuff to pick up at farmstands. So Mary Kate and I got the bright idea to buy a bunch of vegetables and experiment with grilling them this weekend. Although we spent a marathon day grilling, one of the things we wanted to share with you all, was…
