Hungarian Goulash

I never thought I’d post a recipe for goulash on this site, but a picture of one on foodgawker.com made me start thinking about how good
goulash and spaetzle would be for a cool Fall night dinner.  I poked around for some recipes that seemed moderately healthy, and found one on Food & Wine that was [...]

Chicken and Mushroom Chile Rellenos

I went to Mezcalitos in Oakhurst a while back and had the special, which was a chile relleno with chicken and mushrooms.  When it arrived, I was happy to see that the chile was roasted instead of battered and deep fried, which was never really a turn on to me.  I knew I could replicate [...]

Warm Sausage, Potato and Roasted Vegetable Salad

I’ve had a request for more vegetarian recipes around here, but sorry, this is not one.  I will get to those, I promise…just not now.  This was a salad recipe I spied a few weeks ago that looked like a heaty, warm winter salad.  It was, and the mustardy vinaigrette was great with the potatoes [...]

Chicken Curry with Gentle Spices

Posted by popular demand, here is a curry recipe some folks have seen on my camera and wanted me to post.  I didn’t post it when I made it because although it was tasty, the recipe wasn’t quite what I was expecting.  The main issue comes from the fact that you puree raw vegetables- like [...]

Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas

I’m sure everyone has that go-to meal that when you have no idea what to make for dinner, you can always fall

more special by making a chipotle chicken recipe for them,  but failed to find what I needed at the grocery store.  So I changed course and grabbed a copy [...]

Chicken Meatballs with Pepperonata

I’m back after a bit of a break last week…it was a busy week after vacation and I was out of town last weekend, so there wasn’t a lot of
post-worthy cooking going on.  Last night after track I made this recipe from Gourmet (changed a lot, though) that I had earmarked for a while and [...]

Carmelized Black Pepper Chicken

Yesterday Haley and I finally made a long-talked about trip to the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market, which is known for all their Asian produce.  I decided to make some Vietnamese food for dinner and looked up a few recipes before I went so I wouldn’t just buy random stuff that wouldn’t actually yield a final [...]

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Posting a recipe for lettuce wraps somehow makes me feel like I’m posting recipes for TGI Friday’s dishes or something…next thing you
know, I’ll be posting about jalapeno poppers.  I don’t even know if chain restaurants carry lettuce wraps, but it’s conjuring that up for me nonetheless.  Anyhow, this recipe attracted me with the slaw and [...]

Five-Spice Chicken with Honey Lemon Glaze

Sometimes having a long marinading time on meat is annoying…it means you have to plan ahead and wait in anticipation of what it
tastes like.  In the case of this chicken, I wasn’t annoyed because it was easy to prep on a work night and was more excited to see what the final result tasted like.  [...]
