I saw this Food & Wine recipe a couple of years ago and thought it looked so pretty I wanted to serve it at a party some day. It was the
perfect party food because it could be made ahead, looked interesting and had great flavor (plus a short list of ingredients). I used chicken chorizo [...]

New Potatoes with Three Cheese Fondue
Posted in Appetizer, Main Dish, Quick & Easy, Side Dish, Vegetarian, tagged Appetizer, cheese, fondue, hors do, Vegetarian, winter on December 9, 2009 | 3 Comments »
This is a great holiday dish I served for the party and it was a last minute addition I was glad I opted for. Not only does it stay hot
because it’s in a fondue pot, but it’s a great vegetarian option and easy to make ahead and reheat. I also added some blanched asparagus to [...]
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 [...]
Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie

I’ve definitely been in the mood for old-school comfort food and I’ve been wanting to make Shepherd’s Pie, Hungarian Goulash, cabbage rolls and the like. I decided to make Shepherd’s Pie last night but wanted to see if I could make it vegetarian, and mushrooms seemed like a pretty obvious choice. So, I looked around [...]

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 [...]
Mushroom and Poblano Tacos

This recipe was surprisingly delicious, flavorful and filling (and I hate to say this) for a vegetarian recipe. I thought it would be good, I just didn’t think it would be this good. The key, I think, is the corn tortillas, which you toast in the pan so the cheese melts and the tacos because [...]
Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Stew

I’m back after a hiatus and I have two vegetarian recipes to post that were both really good and filling. First up is this Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Stew, which is perfect for cooler weather and has a really rich, subtly spicy flavor. It would be great served with a dollop of plain yogurt and [...]
Warm Sausage, Potato and Roasted Vegetable Salad
Posted in Chicken, Main Dish, Quick & Easy, Salad on November 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 in Chicken, Italian, Main Dish, tagged Chicken, curry, Main Dish, splendid table on November 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Sausage and Lentil Soup

You probably thought I dropped off the face of the Earth. That’s almost true, and I sure haven’t done any cooking in the past week. However, I will leave you with a favorite recipe perfect for this time of year. I love lentils and soup, and especially lentil soup. This one gets a lot of [...]
