Baked Falafel
Can You Bake Falafel? I made my first falafel this year, and while it’s really tasty, it’s a royal pain in the butt to make. Want to guarantee that the Tiny Kitchen Assistant will need your help? Fry something that requires your undivided attention. When I made my last batch of falafel, I had a […] Read More
Bleu Cheese Dressing
Alton Brown Blue Cheese Dressing Let’s pretend that we’re at a restaurant. The helpful server appears tableside and starts listing the day’s specials. If she happens to utter the words, “bleu cheese,” I immediately fall deaf to all other options and close the menu. Now, I also have an obsession with buffalo wing sauce, but […] Read More
Pepper and Egg Sandwiches
Grilled Bell Pepper and Egg Sandwich I’ve been looking for more (any?) meatless options in our meal plan, and when I stumbled across Bryn’s post about grilled bell pepper and egg sandwiches over at Writes4Food.com, I had to give it a try. I did make a few changes, not the least of which was serving […] Read More
Tabouli, Tabbouli, Tabbouleh
Bulgur and Parsley Salad After my seemingly endless quest for curly parsley (not cilantro, Helpful Produce Department Guy), I found myself in possession of a lot of parsley. What on earth do you do with that much parsley? The answer is tabouli. Or tabbouli. Or however you spell it. Ingredients 1 cup bulgur, cooked according […] Read More
A Slight Change of Format
Share Your Favorite Recipes I have a request of you, my loyal readers: a good cole slaw recipe. I’m picky about cole slaw. I don’t want something mayo-doused, soupy and limp. I’m looking for something lightly creamy, tangy and tasty. There are hundreds, if not thousands of cole slaw recipes out there online. While I’ve […] Read More
Clara’s Meatloaf
Meatloaf Meatballs One of my favorite food blogs is Writes4Food by Bryn Mooth. As part of her ongoing Clara project, Bryn updated Clara’s classic meatloaf recipe into a modern meatball that won rave reviews with my family. Personally, I think that the transformation into a meatball is genius. To me, the worst part of meatloaf […] Read More
Everybody Loves Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
Creamy Tomato Orzo Soup “I love tomato soup,” declared the Tiny Kitchen Assistant, apropos of nothing. “Ms. Z makes it for us all the time.” As a kid who isn’t terribly fond of soup in general, this seemed too good to be true. I figured that I’d make the soup and he wouldn’t eat any, […] Read More
Wild Rice Pilaf Bake
Sorta Meatless Monday I’ve been trying to make less meaty meals. I’m not vegetarian, but I also know that we don’t need as much meat as what the men of the house would naturally gravitate towards. One of my projects has been to find meatless or limited-meat meals that are hearty enough to stand on […] Read More
Brazilian Chicken Soup
Coconut Chicken Soup My friend Lori sent me the link for the Brazilian shrimp soup from Food & Wine. I’m sure that it’s lovely with shrimp, but as no one in my household really enjoys the crustaceans, I substituted chicken with great results. Ingredients 2 Tbsp grapeseed or olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 bell […] Read More
Grandma Pizza
Homemade Pizza I like to make homemade pizza, but let’s face it: the process of prepping individual pizzas is very labor-intensive, and can be a challenge on a school night. So imagine my interest when I saw the recipe for Grandma Pizza pop up in an email from America’s Test Kitchen. The homemade dough proofs […] Read More
