I’ve been way into soup lately, especially with noodles. (By the way, I think you should enter that as a sexy response on your next singles’ website chat: “So, like, what are you into?” “Soup.”) And I happened to read somewhere that you can use a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in place of [...]

Swiss Pita Burger

If you put spinach on something, it’s “florentine,” and if you put mushrooms on a dish, it’s “swiss.” Those are the rules, I don’t make them. (This burger isn’t so much of an alternative burger, but I did put it on pita bread. So there’s your alternative.)
I sautéed and seasoned the mushrooms in the pan [...]

Turkey Marinara Burger

What better time to post a run of burgers than the week of July 4th? Most of these are “alternative burgers,” since I thought perhaps this might be the only time of the year when we all might be a little burnt out on the regular kind. In the last week, I’ve seen a thick, [...]

Beyond Easy Vodka Cream Sauce

I’m committed to making things easily, with as few steps as possible. But honestly, I felt guilty about posting this. And then I realized it was two steps beyond simply opening a jar, which I do all the time. With one little rationalization, I went from feeling a little dirty to being one fancy lady!

Recently, I was at my friend Beata’s baby shower. She and her husband are Polish, and they had lots of Polish friends, who brought quite a bit of Polish food. And when I say, “they brought quite a bit,” I mean in the way that Sitting Bull brought quite a bit of Cheyenne to a [...]

Turkey Chili Mac
April 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · cheese, food, pasta, quick, soul food, turkey, value, vegetables
This was super quick and easy, and I even made it a “deluxe” way. It was sort of a cross between a bolognese sauce (which has carrot in it), and regular chili mac. A bit of extra work to just pulse up the mirepoix (carrot, celery, and onion – in this case, I also added [...]

Mahogany Ale Shepherd's Pie
February 17th, 2009 · 4 Comments · beef, beer, cheese, food, leftovers, potatoes, soul food, turkey, vegetables
This isn’t a traditional shepherd’s pie, just something I made up. (Why do I even bother saying that any more?) I wanted to use ground turkey, and still come up with something that was dark and rich on the bottom layer, without being too fatty. It came out so well that I actually wrote it [...]

Grilled Vegetable Lasagna

I’m not doing a low-carb throwback to 2001 here, but a good veggie lasagna can be made without the noodles. It’s kind of fun, and you can have big pieces of vegetables without grinding them into the sauce or the filling… I just use them instead of the noodles.
I cut the vegetables lengthwise and grill [...]

I’m eating my third Jimmy John’s sandwich this week at this moment. It is a very plain sandwich, minus several veggies that I normally find appealing, and it is often the only thing I can think of in the whole entire world that doesn’t make me want to hwarf at the concept of eating. I [...]

Now that I’ve posted about baking something from scratch (even if I didn’t do the cooking), I have to post about something simple to make, or I may end up with a rash. And, eyw, no one wants that.
When I was a freshman in college (age 19, I think), my friend Brooke would also be [...]
