Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Best Slow Cooker Pot Roast With all apologies to Cook’s Country magazine, I got this idea while thumbing through an old issue in a waiting room several months ago, and only remembered it now because the dreary weather has demanded slow cooker comfort food. I think that the Cook’s recipe was for stew, but the philosophy is […] Read More
Try Something New: Fennel
As I read through one of my new cookbooks, I realized that while I’ve eaten fennel, I’ve never actually purchased or cooked it. In fact, without the recipes, I wouldn’t have had any idea how to prepare it in the first place. As it turns out, it’s surprisingly simple, and was a decent accompaniment to […] Read More
Bechamel and Lasagna
Last week, I gave you the recipe for my All-Day Bolognese Sauce. By adding some bechamel sauce and cheese to that yummy sauce, you can make the best lasagna ever. Oh sure, I’m biased, but I much prefer the results from this creamy sauce than a soggy ricotta and egg mixture. Personal preference. Bechamel Sauce […] Read More
All-Day Bolognese
There are few recipes that violate my general rule of being able to prepare them in less than an hour on a weeknight. This is one of them, and it is worth every moment that you spend on it. I make a ton at once so that I have plenty of leftovers. It also forms […] Read More
Hearty Veggie Soup
The holidays are coming to a close. You’ve eaten more than you can possibly imagine, and the last thing you want to do is cook. This is the perfect meal. Simmer all day, eat all weekend. This recipe came about when I used the random ingredients in my pantry and fridge to come up with […] Read More
Cranberries with a Twist
With Thanksgiving less than a week away, it seems like the perfect time for my cranberry recipe. While I’ve always been a huge fan of cranberries in almost any form, I’m actually not all that fond of the orange zest recipes that seem to proliferate at this time of year. A few years ago, I […] Read More
Vegetable Stock
I went out of town for a conference and came home to find a produce drawer loaded with veggies that needed to be used quickly. I decided that since it is soup season, after all, I’d make a vegetable stock to freeze for later use. I don’t think that proportions matter; I used what I […] Read More
Bratwurst and Quick Kraut
Quick Sauerkraut I stumbled across a new farmer’s market, and at that market they had handmade bratwurst. There’s no easier way to win the heart of my carnivorous husband and son, so I bought a package, not entirely sure about how I was going to cook it. I spent a bit of quality time with […] Read More
Pasta Rustica
It’s been years since I last made this recipe, but I stumbled across it while looking for something to do with the onslaught of fresh tomatoes coming from my garden. I’ve made some modifications to the original, not the least of which involves substituting cherry tomatoes for the original romas. The meal looks best when […] Read More
Fried Chicken
I may be ambivalent about meat in general, but that rule doesn’t seem to apply to good fried chicken. I don’t make it often, but there’s something to be said for that delicious crunchy crust. When I make a batch, I make enough to have leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day. I’ve been […] Read More
