Jerk Chicken Stew with Coconut Rice

Archaellys has fallen in love with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and I have to admit, it is a gorgeous game!  This, of course, influenced our last movie night and we had a pirate theme.  Treasure Island (1950) and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.  Naturally I wanted our noms to…

Flourless Chocolate Cake

It was Archaellys’ birthday the other day and I wanted to do something special for him.  I let him pick the movie night noms for that week, but I definitely wanted to add an element of surprise.  I used to bake people homemade cakes from scratch, but of course, with me being gluten free, birthday…

Food Porn: Carnitas

I know I tweeted this pic out the other night when I was eating it, but I just had to post the delicious carnitas here too.  You know, for safe keeping.  Good grief, La Piñata, you make some AMAZING carnitas.

Sukiyaki

I was trying to figure out what to make that would go along with our Miyazaki night of Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo…  There are so many delicious Japanese noms that I could make work.  At first I thought about trying to figure out a gluten friendly version of ramen, since that’s what they eat…

Movie Night Noms: Scrapple and Eggs

Our movie night for December 27 is Christmas Observed in The Rumpus Room.  Arc and I really wanted to have a Christmas celebration with our Twitch family, and this is the best way that we could do it.  At first, I really wanted to go all out and make another Christmas dinner.  I thought about…

More Holiday Food Porn

Christmas Eve noms!  I roasted some chicken thighs and Brussels sprouts and then made some quinoa.  I jazzed up the quinoa with some lemon juice, parsley, garlic, and grated pecorino romano.  OMG so so so so good.

Holiday Food Porn

Sorry, I accidentally took an unplanned holiday hiatus.  Things got a little crazy because of people coming in to town and trying to get a bunch of things in order at work before some well-earned time off.  I have a backlog of posts coming at you in a the new days, but in the meantime,…

Food Porn: Friendsgiving

I know, I know.  I should probably get off the Thanksgiving train now that we’re heading for Christmas.  I just can’t help it though.  I love Thanksgiving.  It might be Christmas Junior, but to me, it’s perfect.  It’s all the togetherness without all the presents or material expectations.  Plus… the food… My absolute favorite part…

Lost Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Up

There were a few recipes missing from my Thanksgiving post so I’m going to put them all in one place: here.  I know Thanksgiving is pretty much a distant memory as we move closer to Christmas.  It was only a little more than a week ago, guys.  Seriously.  A week.  WTF? Anyway, back to the…

Food Porn: Thanksgiving

  Oh screw writing an actual post.  I’m too hungover from the food.  A picture is worth a thousand words, right?  Here’s some of yesterday’s feast for your enjoyment.  

Thanksgiving Extravaganza!!

Thanksgiving is pretty much my favorite holiday. I mean, Thanksgiving is basically Christmas without all the gift giving crap.  Don’t get me wrong, gifts are cool and all, but I totally stress out about who to get presents for and being fair and all kinds of crap.  So… just… no.  Let’s eat.  I’m all about…

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Who doesn’t love mashed taters and gravy?  They go with everything, especially giant loaves of meat.  They’re really very simple, but everyone always has their own version of mashed potatoes that they swear by.  This is a pretty basic recipe, but just like the meatloaf, it can be augmented to be any other form of…
