How does a comforting bowl of chili that you can make in 35 minutes or less sound? A good chili recipe is something I feel like everyone needs in their culinary arsenal. As I mentioned in my White Turkey Chili with Mushrooms post, I always associate chili with Halloween because my mom always makes chili on Halloween every year. … [Read more...]

Shredded Chicken & Tomatillo Stew
This dish uses cilantro. Let's talk about that for a second. I used to hate cilantro. Yuck. To me, it tasted like the smell of dirty socks, sweaty armpits, or B.O. (B.O.... always makes me think of this Seinfeld.) But it kept showing up in little bits in my food. A little in salsa, and I love salsa. A little in my guacamole, and I love guac. A little in some Thai food, and holy crap I love Thai food. Now, suddenly, I don't loathe … [Read more...]
Sweet Potato Spaghetti Bolognese
I went out to eat a few weekends ago to a local Durango spot. The husband and I had a little date night. Gotta keep things romantic, ya know? It was probably my favorite meal/restaurant we've had in town yet! He started with a whiskey cocktail, me with sparkling rosé, and we kicked the night off right with some oysters. Gosh, I love those things. The first time I ever had one … [Read more...]
Caesar Lover’s Salad Dressing
When I really like a food, I latch onto it for a while. I eat it all the time, as if I have blinders on and I don't see other things on the menu or in my fridge. Caesar salad is the perfect example of this. I've always loved it and I always ordered it in restaurants growing up. The two restaurants that served my favorites were Figlio and Lindey's. Figlio's was more of a vinaigrette type dressing, had nice thick grated parm, and good … [Read more...]
Parm & Parsley Spaghetti Squash
Parmesan and parsley reminds me of my mom :). She used to make me mac and cheese every day. By every day I mean every day from preschool through high school. I take that back, she didn't make it every day. It's one of the first things she taught me to cook when I was seven years old so she didn't have to do it ev-er-y-day. And I'll get into that recipe more someday, but for now I bring it up because every once in a while I'd want it just a … [Read more...]

Creamy Chicken Marsala
Chicken. Marsala. Oh, heck yes. I love chicken marsala. Seriously, one of my favorite flavors of all time. Oh man. Umm, the best. Yikes, I need to watch it or this could starting to sound like a line from Fifty Shades of Grey, all this oooh-ing and aaah-ing. Which, by the way, I haven't heard anything about the movie? Has anyone seen it yet?? Or are you all too hesitant to watch it in the theater. Waiting for the DVD, eh? I couldn't … [Read more...]

Un-Buns
Primal. Nut free. Grain Free. Flour free. How do you make sturdy, fluffy, pliable buns out of whole food ingredients? EGGS! That's right, the main ingredient that takes traditional processed sandwich buns and turns them into UN-buns is eggs. The egg is so darn versatile. These rolls, do need a bit of dairy though or they just don't work the same way. So far in my attempts without diary, the rolls were crumbly and didn't quite hold … [Read more...]

Warm Tomato Eggplant Relish
This recipe completes the meal shown below: Cracklin' Chicken (from Nom Nom Paleo) served with Caramelized Cauliflower and Warm Tomato Eggplant Relish. This relish is both spicy and sweet. It was one of those Chopped nights in the house where I opened the fridge, looked at the veggies I had on hand and thought hmm, "what can I do with all of this?" With the cauliflower tossed in the oven, and the chicken cracklin' away, this quick relish … [Read more...]
Caramelized Cauliflower
If you haven't figured it out by now, I love roasting vegetables. Roasting makes any vegetable better. Ok, maybe not iceberg lettuce, but you catch my drift. There's just no better flavor than that caramelized sweetness that comes from roasting. Lately with my schedule it's been all about simplicity. Quick and easy does it these days. This dish is no exception. … [Read more...]

Tuscan Salad with Tuna Steak
If ever I'm in a food rut, I turn to the food network. As soon as I watch show, I get inspired with flavor combinations, ingredients, and dishes. That's where this one came from. It's an adaptation of a Bobby Flay recipe that combines classic Tuscan flavors like lemon, fennel, rosemary, tuna, basil, olives, and anchovies. Do you read "anchovies" with a scowl? You like caesar salad right? What do you think is in that dressing? Delicious … [Read more...]
