The new stove is officially broken in. I decided to go all out and make a real meal on/in it. I knew I was going to make talapia and asparagus, but couldn’t figure out what else to make. I didn’t have enough potatoes to mash them, I had some leftover mushrooms, but wasn’t sure what [...]

Okay -so nothing glamorous for the first meal on the new stove – I figured I would try to get used to it first – the best news is that the kitchen is not 1000 degrees! yay!!

So – no cooking yet this weekend, but I the landlord did finally come and remove the original 1956 stove and put in something from at least the last 10 years.
I am sure that my cooking times will vary like crazy for a while – I already managed to cook the ever-living crap out of [...]

Everyone knows how much I love weekend breakfasts. I like to take my time and make something I would never be able to pull off during the week.
This morning I decided on a really big breakfast. I made toast, hash browns and put out sliced tomatoes. I scrambled Dev’s eggs, but decided to fry my [...]

It’s definitely getting fall-like around here. The days are still warm, but the nights are dipping below freezing.
Diane has already blogged about how much she loves fall cooking. I agree with her whole-heartedly. Dev and I have already had the first fall pot of chili, and Friday night I made another dish that I’m certain [...]

Collaboration

Tonight was sort of a collaboration with inspiration from Curtis Stone of Take Home Chef. We watched a re-run last night and he made stuffed zucchini and shrimp with roasted tomatoes and pesto linguine. We adapted that; My sister Suzanne made the stuffed zucchini – stuffed with ricotta, mozarella and parmesan cheese – baked at [...]

This weekend, Dev had a ton of homework to do. That meant that I had plenty of time to wander the apartment and cook stuff- oh, and sleep.
So I started with a batch of cinnamon rolls. I decided to throw a twist in and make whole wheat dough instead of plain white. Here’s the [...]

Yeah – this was a great dinner. I have started a new job and I had a wicked cold so I haven’t cooked in a while. My sister is on vacation and she was nice enough to pick up 2 sushi grade tuna steaks – yum! So…I marinated them in a bit of soy with [...]

No, no, not the booze…food! I have been battling a cold this week – this typically happens soon after the start of school as I am exposed to many, many more germs than normal. So when my sister decided she wanted fried shrimp for dinner, I thought – yes…that will be a good comfort food [...]
