Nobody gets left behind: leftovers
What I do with leftovers: From the milk-roasted chicken on Sunday, I had two bone-in chicken breasts left over. What to do with them? Hm. Think. Think Think Think. Well, I also had some Spanish chorizo I picked up at Eastern Market on Saturday as well. Chorizo is a spicy, smoked pork sausage that comes [...]
Got Milk?
It was a pretty fantastic weekend all around on my end. Headed out to Detroit’s Eastern Market again on Saturday, which you know I love, and spent the afternoon making leek onion rings and bbq beef sandwiches. And today, Josh and I spent an hour learning how to make pasta carbonara and a pappardelle dish [...]
Chili and Cornbread are the new Hall and Oates
Dear Chili, hey. how ya doin? It’s been a long time. In fact, I think the last time we saw each other was the Chili Cookoff at work in March. That was a great time, wasn’t it? Remember I had you slowcooking in a crockpot in a corner of the office all morning, filing the [...]
I now want to dance in the streets
It was another dreary, icky day and normally these days make me want to just curl up on the couch and order in a pizza and call it a day. But no, today I resolved to make meal I’ve been wanting to make for…well, about a week. But still, I had the ingredients, I had [...]
Salsa + Spaghetti = Salsagetti
Inspired by reading over Noelle’s entry about her delicious-looking salsa, I decided tonight to utilize the tomato-y bounty given forth to me by Josh’s beautiful heirloom variety tomato plants growing out on our deck. But instead of a salsa, a fresh tomato sauce that I could mix in with the whole wheat linguine I got [...]
The Immunity Boosting Salad
So I’m on my own again today. And still sick. It’s been over a week at this point and while I don’t feel terrible, I just can’t get the congestion, tiredness and fever to go away. Well it’s moved on towards lunch time and I need to eat something. I don’t have a car today, [...]
Pretend you’re a chicken…parmesan
I just want to state for the record that I’ve never made chicken parmesan and I didn’t actually look for a recipe for it before making this, but for the life of us, Josh and I just could not decide on what to have for dinner. I mulled over what we had in the house [...]
Tomato, Tomahto, Totally Tasty
…I like alliteration. Anyway, it was a terribly rainy day today and Josh and I are both sick with the flu. We’ve been on the couch or in the bed pretty almost all day. Not exactly pleasant. But I knew what would perk us up—a giant heaping platter of our favorite home made chicken enchiladas [...]
Piri piri, agua fresca and other fun words I ate today
Piri piri. Just say it, “piri piri.” It sounds adorable. It tastes delicious. It’s easy to make. It’s a win for everybody. Well everybody who likes to eat foods with fun names. I was on my own for dinner again tonight and after a lot of deliberation (seriously, I dwell at length on the existential [...]
