I think the name for cooking in parchment paper is cooking “en papillote,” but you know, it’s my mom and my brother that speaks the French, murky bo cups. I based this dish on one I saw Rachael Ray do, which of course, she calls “Spanish Fish in a Sack.” (Okay, maybe you CAN dumb [...]

Black Bean Hotcakes

These black bean cakes reheat very easily (just keep the toppings separate. And if you put enough lime juice in your guac, it will keep in the fridge for a day or two without browning.) I don’t think Chris quite wrapped his head around the whole “savory pancake” concept, but he loves the sweet stuff. But I think these are a filling, tasty veggie dish, and might be good with leftover bacon or ham in them, too – if you’ve fallen off the veggie wagon, as I did!

A couple of weeks ago I grabbed some boneless beef ribs on sale that looked tasty. I decided to try to make some “Crockpot BBQ” [...]

Here’s where I’ve been… I had the baby at the end of September. Her name is Ruby, and she is perfect. (The best thing I ever made, ha ha ha.)
I personally have been on Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating since she was born, which is actually pretty good. It was a good time to do it, [...]

At the Bottom, on Top Chef

One of my favorite shows over the last month has been Bravo’s Top Chef. I’ve watched every season so far (this is season 3), and this one has been, in my humble opinion, the best so far. So naturally, when my friend Jeff told me that his studio would be filming the finale in Chicago, [...]
