PastitsioWhat do you do in the middle of the night when you cannot sleep? I watch Food TV–but only certain cooks. Some are too loud or upbeat, and some I cannot understand (think British cooks) without turning the TV up too loud for John. But Ina Garten is an insomniac’s dream come true.Now understand me, she is not boring and I don’t mean to… |

Asian Lunch Rice BowlAsian Lunch Rice BowlI think I’ve mentioned before how much I dislike lunch. Or how much I dislike traditional American lunch meals (sandwiches, salads, etc). I was recently at a friend’s house for lunch, for a playdate, and the mom is Korean American and she served us kind of an ultra-simplified bi bim bap: rice with scrambled eggs,… |

Thai Stir Fried Chopped Beef With BasilThai basil might be one of the top 5 smells in the world for me. Spicier and mintier than Italian basil, with anise undertones, it is heady and intoxicating. It is crucial to the success of many red curries and takes on a starring role in a family of stir fries. In Thailand, many of these stir fries would be made with holy basil, but… |

Garlicky Angel Hair with Sausage & PeasGarlicky Angel Hair with Sausage & PeasBut anyway, about my not planning to share the dish. This is definitely one of those greater than the sum of its parts simple dishes–that you more or less want to lick the pan when you are done. We loved it. John and I could not stay out of it. And the best part of all is that it is super simple,… |

Crispy Rosemary Asiago FlatbreadConfession time. I did not acquire the pasta roller set for my Kitchen Aid mixer to make pasta. I actually did it to make crackers. But then I got intimidated, certain the dough would stick (not being intended for a pasta roller) and finked out of trying it.What a fool I can be. This was so easy, so simple, so delicious–and like many… |

Peanut Butter Candy CupsThis is technically about 2-3 weeks overdue as a post about what to do with your Halloween candy. But the thing is, this is a great idea for anytime–I mean how cute are these cups? And so easy! And just as tasty with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, M&Ms, Reece’s Pieces, or mini marshmallows–all of which are in my pantry year… |

Chocolate Mint SandwichesThese cookies have been every bit as much of a revelation as Scottish shortbread, another holiday cookie I came to late in life but have since adopted as my own tradition. This is actually the first time I have ever made sandwich cookies, and I cannot imagine a better one for the holidays than these. They keep in a tin, unlike many… |

Chunky Quadruple Chocolate Cookies: Baking with SammyBecause even Sesame Street has to hit a homerun every now and then. Sammy and I have continued our baking adventures during the day while Alex is at school. The cookie we made after the Whole Wheat Brownies with a Minty Mocha Twist were (ironically, given we used one of my cookbooks) not worth blogging about. So next it was Sammy’s… |

Tomato & Chickpea Salad with Basil and Yogurt DressingSkamp had the big Snip Snip done last week. I am not sure he cares much about his missing testicles, but he is definitely not thrilled by his cone of shame (shame because we tried to go without, but that dog would not stop licking!).He is also seriously not thrilled by the lack of activity. Skamp thinks running and… |

Kozani Braised Beef with Grape MolassesI apologize for having dropped off the planet. I got strep throat and an ear infection for the second time in 2 weeks (both!!), and between that and last minute holiday stuff, the blog just took a backseat for a while.So suffice to say this post will be short and sweet.Now about this dish. I found the original recipe in Diane… |
