This is one of those drop everything and go make this now recipes.  It was that good.  In fact, so good I bumped it up
in my queue of posts.
I made this recipe two nights ago thinking it would pretty tasty because I love lentils and smoked paprika, and I was lured in by the picture [...]

I’m sure everyone has that go-to meal that when you have no idea what to make for dinner, you can always fall
back on this dish.  For some people that means a meal that can be made from ingredients you always have on hand (for me the only thing I could make at any given time [...]

Now, you would think I served this withe the Sicilian tuna steaks, and while that would be a great combination, I
didn’t.  Instead I made some pizza with friends one night and served a salad with this creamy, garlicky dressing on the side.  It’s one of those salad dressings that’s really worth making at home, because [...]

I’ve been very faithful to my favorite way to prepare tofu, which is the Grit restaurant way of crisping cubes in a pan, sprinkling on

I had these kebabs a few months ago and realized they were what I was looking for when I made the Greek Kefetedes.  Those were good,
but these were better because they have that all-important allspice, which I’m really diggin’ right now.  It makes meat so much more interesting.  This recipe comes from the New York [...]

This recipe is going on the repeat list, which is a pretty short list for me.  Maybe it’s the name that I like so much, or maybe it was the chicken, which had the most amazing spice rub on it.  The nuggets of chicken were so tender and juicy and flavorful I couldn’t stop eating [...]

This was far and away the star of the show last weekend.  I saw this recipe in Bon Appetit a while ago and was drawn to it because it seemed like ice cream that you didn’t need an ice cream maker to make.  And I love lemon and berries.  Overall, this was pretty simple to [...]

This panini was the centerpiece of our mother’s day lunch and was quick and easy to make (and can be prepped ahead of time) and can satisfy vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.  The artichoke caper spread is especially good and you could put it on a lot of different sandwiches- it would complement chicken or beef [...]
