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
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
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

I tried all kinds of mayo alternatives: Greek yogurt, sour cream and strange concoctions involving […] Read More
Indoor Pulled Pork

Pulled pork. Guess what: I can help you with that last one. It turns out that you can make pulled pork in your […] Read More
Sloppy Joes
Sometimes you just want comfort food from childhood, and there’s nothing quite as comforting as sloppy joes. I’ve updated the recipe a bit so that it’s better than your store-bought kit. If your family prefers a blander version, reduce the amount of steak seasoning by half. Leftovers can be frozen in single-serving sizes for a […] Read More
