Pot Roast for the End of Winter Blues, and BIG NEWS!

Pot Roast for the End of Winter Blues, and BIG NEWS! by Bread and Ginger

Snow Day FoodI have been gone a long time, and I have come back and given you pot roast. This winter has been loooong. And it is still cold. I am basically forced to cook this way. And also, as it turns out, pot roast is pretty delicious.Pot roast is pretty basic, meat, carrots and onions, generally. Cook it for a long time and serve…

Special Chicken – The Sustenance of My Youth

Special Chicken – The Sustenance of My Youth by Bread and Ginger

Today I want to talk about what might be the THE quintessential food of my childhood. The one that reminds me of home more than any other. It was featured at more birthday dinners than anything else. (It was also featured at a very recent Christmas Eve.) Everyone loved it, even the picky ones. Behold Special Chicken. It’s really…

Feels Like Home: My Mom’s Gazpacho

Feels Like Home: My Mom’s Gazpacho by Bread and Ginger

Summer in a bowlI have a post about fish tacos in the works but it is detailed and there are lots of accoutrements and it was taking me awhile, so I am going with this instead. I wanted to get a post out before I go away for the weekend AND I wanted to make sure I got this out while there are still delicious tomatoes to be had at the…

Grilled Ham and Cheese

Grilled Ham and Cheese by Bread and Ginger

Remember how I love sandwiches? I do. I love them so much. They are really the ultimate comfort food for me. Probably because of the bread. Sandwiches on really good bread are hard to beat – hearty, filling, a little guilty – carbs! bah! But oh man. Some days a sandwich is just what the doctor ordered. I have had several of those days…

Clam Chowder

Clam Chowder by Bread and Ginger

New England styleHappy New Year friends!It’s 2014, which is weird. It sounds like it’s out of science fiction. 2014. This might be the year The Others come. Hopefully they’ll be nice. And single.I’ve got big hopes for 2014. Unfortunately most of them require vast amounts of wealth and free time, of which I have neither, so small hopes…

Fish Tacos, Finally (for Em, because they are her favorite)

Fish Tacos, Finally (for Em, because they are her favorite) by Bread and Ginger

crispy and deliciousI have been working on this post for quite some time, but I am glad I waited, because it took me a while to get it right. Now I suspect they will be in the regular rotation. There are a couple components, but most of them can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge for weeknights, which is very convenient…

Gingery Carrot Soup

Gingery Carrot Soup by Bread and Ginger

You guys, January was going to be soup month, and it IS actually soup month. I’ve made a bunch, and it’s been soupier than I even anticipated, due to some client requests. Of course, it hasn’t be post-ier than normal (though this will be the third one this month, so maybe it has) which means there are SO MANY SOUPS to discuss. So I…

B&G Classics: Chicken Noodle Soup

B&G Classics: Chicken Noodle Soup by Bread and Ginger

Wahoooooooo!That means I passed my test, in case it wasn’t clear. And I am so so glad. That was easily the most stressful thing I have done in a long time. I felt unprepared and I HATE feeling unprepared. It was hard. I woke up this morning and honestly felt like a year had passed since last Friday. But it is over! And studying did…

Korean Fried Chicken Sliders

Korean Fried Chicken Sliders by Bread and Ginger

Korean Fried Chicken SlidersOh haaaaaaaaaay!Anyone there? Have you left me? It would be well deserved – I am a giant slacker and I apologize. This has been, perhaps, the busiest six months of my life, and I am exhausted. Just when I think things are easing up, they absolutely do not do that. Luckily it’s been mostly great, fun,…

Stuffed Pork Chops with Speck, Manchego and Pesto

Stuffed Pork Chops with Speck, Manchego and Pesto by Bread and Ginger

stuffedThese were a bit of a fluke (these were also inordinately difficult to photograph) – sometimes the best things are. I get meat delivered monthly from a company that sources beef, pork and lamb from farms within 250 miles of the city, then delivers it packed in dry ice right to your door. (Every day I become more of a hermit.) I…
