Buffalo Chicken Rolls

Buffalo Chicken Rolls by Brianna Vereker

Buffalo Chicken RollsSeptember 20, 2011 by BriannaI love the foods that are associated with football, but I’m not a huge football watcher. I do, however, remember hanging out in the living room with my uncle and grandpa the weekend before Thanksgiving, while they watched “the big game” – Cal versus Standford. I learned how to shout…

Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Apricot Glaze by Brianna Vereker

Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Apricot GlazeSeptember 14, 2011 by BriannaMy son is obsessed with the garage. It’s no surprise. His father and his grandfather (my dad) love it as well. It’s where they spend many a Saturday, working on projects of various sorts. The other evening as we were getting ready to start dinner, Levi made his usual…

Gyoza

Gyoza by Brianna Vereker

GyozaSeptember 3, 2011 by BriannaThank goodness for gyoza. It sustained us for a couple evenings during that first week in Japan when we were still jet-lagged, everything felt so foreign, and we hadn’t yet learned how to navigate our supermarket across the street. When we got up the courage to walk in, we were bombarded with bright…

Grilled Sriracha “Poppers”

Grilled Sriracha “Poppers” by Brianna Vereker

Grilled Sriracha “Poppers”August 12, 2011 by BriannaRemember when I confessed how much I love onion rings? Well there’s one appetizer that I’m even less likely to turn down if I see it on a menu – Jalapeño Poppers. Just like the rings, I wanted to make a version at home that was a little healthier and wasn’t deep-fried. I’d been…

Goat Cheese, Tomato & Basil Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms by Brianna Vereker

Flank Steak Tacos with Chipotle Sour CreamJuly 20, 2011 by BriannaIt’s no coincidence that the last five post titles have the word grilled in them. We’ve been embracing warm evenings and hot coals while we can! A quick rub of cumin, paprika, and hot sauce gives this economical cut of steak lots of flavor. Then you slice it thinly and…

Grilled Butter Lettuce with Buttermilk-Chive Dressing by Brianna Vereker

Grilled Butter Lettuce with Buttermilk-Chive DressingJuly 4, 2011 by BriannaIt’s easy to get into a salad rut, so I wanted to share a quick recipe that we discovered this past weekend. If you’re already grilling for dinner, why not throw the salad on too? Just halve a head of butter lettuce and grill cut-side down for a few minutes…
