Nachos

I don’t feel like I really need to post a recipe for nachos.  I mean, they’re pretty easy, right?  Dere you go. UPDATE: Apparently I *do* need to post a recipe for nachos and BAM! there it is. Nachos 1 pkg Ground Turkey 1 onion Salt, pepper, cayenne 1 can sliced olives Guacamole (recipe here)…

Roasted Chicken Dinner 3: Roasted Fennel and Green Beans

K, so I’m wrapping these last two bits into the same post between they’re relatively simple.  One more time, here’s that pic again since I’m lame and forgot to take individual shots. (Maybe I’ll add in some pics after the next time I make these. I have them in regular rotation at the moment). Fennel…

Roasted Chicken Dinner 2: Sweet Potato Hash

OMG.  Guys.  Sweet Potato Hash is THE NOMS.  Use this for Thanksgiving and thank me later.  Who needs candied sweet potatoes?  *PICS UPDATED*    Sweet Potato Hash 4 Sweet Potatoes 1 pkg (12 oz) Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon 1 medium yellow onion Fresh Thyme salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon Chop your onion and slice your bacon….

Roasted Chicken Dinner 1: Roasted Chicken

Sometimes I just like a good old homestyle dinner.  I felt like cooking for my friend Archaellys and he thought this was pretty fancy.  I just call it Monday night. I’ll post these as separate recipes, but unfortunately I forgot to take separate photos for each dish.  Dinner consisted of a roasted hen, sweet potato…

Food Porn: Melted Cheese

I love cheese.  It ain’t no lie.  I’ve been known to throw a handful of cheese into a pan to make what I call a “cheese cracker”.  Yes it’s gluttony.  Yes it’s delicious.  I don’t want to be right. PSST!  Best done with mozzarella in a non-stick pan.  

Food Porn: Wedding Noms

I was in a wedding this weekend so here’s what I ate: Rehearsal Dinner: Trout with blackberry compote, sweet potatoes and spinach.  Revival Bar and Kitchen Rehearsal Dinner: Two desserts!  On the left is an almond-orange tart, and the right is a ginger chocolate cake.  Revival Bar and Kitchen  Wedding Day: Chicken with risotto and…

Sautéed Pears

I love cooking fruit.  Especially when it’s out-of-season-not-quite-ripe fruit.  Stone fruits are especially good for this, but so are pears and apples.  The best part is that it’s a super easy dessert and it looks super fancy.  If you want to impress someone with dessert, this is a good one to go with.  Forget about…

Food Porn: Mici from the Delicious Food Truck

While in Portland, a super nice employee at Powell’s suggested we grab lunch at the food trucks down the street.  I saw this Romanian truck and had to have the Mici.  Oh yes.  So much yes.  Grilled hand-formed sausage with fries?  Most definitely yes. Bonus: super sweet people run the truck.  More info about the…

Food Porn: Voodoo Doughnuts

While visiting Portland, my friend JT and I made a pilgrimage to Voodoo Doughnuts.  Of course I’m mostly gluten free though, so only JT got a doughnut and here it is: a Maple Bacon Bar.  It looked pretty amazing and euphoric – I was pretty jealous as I drank my coffee from Caffe Vita.  He…

Food Porn: Bratwurst

Look at that majesty, would you?  This was a tag-team effort, so I’m not posting any recipes for this now (maybe eventually).  The brats were cooked in beer and onions.  Those Brussels sprouts were sautéed in garlic and oil.  And oh yes… those are homemade whipped garlic potatoes.  Yeah.  Whipped.  As in with a handmixer…

Waffle Iron Hashbrowns

OMG, I frakking *LOVE* hashbrowns!!!  I don’t have them a lot, but they’re actually one of the reasons I could never be strictly paleo for an extended period of time.  And when I make them at home, I do it in the waffle iron. Wait.  WUT? Yeah, I said waffle iron.  It’s not really a…

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I freaking loooooooove pizza.  I could do some serious damage to a pizza in my previous gluten loving days.  Now that I’m gluten free though, that would be a problem.  Gluten free crusts, like Udi’s, are decent, but I’m really not looking to replace flour-based things with different flour-based things. Enter cauliflower crust. If you…
