The Polish Hoagie Experiment
The ‘experiment’ category here on the blog is a place where I keep the records of recipes that I’ve thrown together on the fly. Sometimes these are things that I make up when digging through the pantry, or they are an idea I have in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. I’ve […]
Filet Wellington
After a relaxing weekend with friends in the Catskills we made a detour on the way home to cut down our Christmas tree! Wandering the forest, saw in hand, we inspected each tree from top to bottom, eventually selecting our gem. Once home we filled our mugs with warm hot chocolate, turned on holiday tunes, […]
Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs with Roasted Brussels Sprouts over Farro
Growing up I proudly professed the unique fact that my parents, brother, and I all had birthdays that fell on holidays. Each year I celebrate my birthday on July 4th, my brother was born on Mother’s day, and my father’s birthday occasionally lands on Thanksgiving. As this story came up at dinner parties my mother […]
Spicy Quick Pickled Radishes
I sit here tonight, typing this post, as the sun slowly sets on a great summer. Soon to rise with the start of a new school year. Teachers return tomorrow for a week of professional learning in preparation for our students arrival after labor day. The start of the school year is somewhat like new […]
Potato Salad
Happy Summer Solstice and three cheers for outdoor BBQ season! Here in our household we eat dinner outside about 3-4 times per week as the evening air is relaxing and soothing (particularly due to the fact that we don’t have central air). As I’ve been cooking for these meals I recently realized that I’ve never […]
The Crab Cake Experiment
What to do with leftover crab… experiment with crab cakes, of course! With no deeply held personal opinions about crab cakes I started with my obligatory research. Kenji Lopez at The Food lab stresses the importance of using quality crabmeat here, and has a richly detailed article with his experimentation and findings. He uses oyster […]
Potato & Kielbasa Skillet
It’s nights like these where I sit here and seriously dream of finding a way to sustain a life of working from home. I played hookie last week on Thursday and Friday in order to help prepare for my dear friend’s wedding (which was on Saturday) and found myself in such a blissful state. I […]
Mustard Crusted Chicken with White Beans and Kale
The internet wasn’t working last night and this left me surprisingly paralyzed for a bit. I had plans to recreate this yummy recipe from Ten More Bites and then, with no internet, I had no access to their notes. Thankfully, my intuition took over and I ended up with a new experiment. Chicken thighs are […]
Kale and Cabbage Salad
Earlier this week a few friends and I went to a live taping of The Moth which, if you haven’t heard, is an organization working to bring back and elevate the lost art of storytelling. We heard five ordinary folks share a unique story that touched both hearts and minds in countless ways. One man […]
