Korean Dak Juk (Chicken Porridge)

Korean Dak Juk (Chicken Porridge) by jason kim

Though I have tried to avoid getting too personal on the blog, I must admit that this recipe has a bitter-sweet story behind it [sigh]. We are still experiencing record-breaking heat here in the Midwest (100+ weather!), and this is supposed to be the last day of the heat wave according recent weather experts. For some reason, the…

Five Star Zuppa Tuscana

Five Star Zuppa Tuscana by Chef Doug

If you have ever been to the Olive Garden, you may well have tried this popular favorite. This recipe is spot on. This recipe is actually purportedly the actual Olive Garden original recipe. Who knows for sure. All I know is that it may as well be, and this is a great way to have a little bit of Olive Garden right in your own home.

Shrimp Udon w Fish Cakes & Poached Egg

Shrimp Udon w Fish Cakes & Poached Egg by jason kim

Udon, (or udong as most Koreans say) is a great noodle dish that can be enjoyed morning, day, or night. It is a popular dish in both Korea and Japan (where it originated), and you can find this tasty, instant version in most Asian grocers. When we get tired of the usual ramen variety, we like to change things up with udon noodles…

Five Star Chicken Gumbo

Five Star Chicken Gumbo by Chef Doug

"If you've never eaten authentic creole, you truly don't know what you're missing. I discovered this Louisiana favorite while residing there in the Air Force and it was love at first bite. This dish has a very unique taste that defies description. You are doing yourself a serious disservice if you don't give this recipe a try. You can…

Barley and Tempeh Soup

Barley and Tempeh Soup by Rich H

Tempeh, fermented soy beans or grain, makes an interesting alternative to veggie crumbles (or ground beef) in this soup recipe. It lends a distinct flavor to the soup while also providing protein and fiber, making for a very filling and satisfying meal. Note: The green beans you see in the photo were an afterthought - just a few…

This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in Fine Cooking magazine several years ago. The recipe makes a fair amount and leftovers keep well refrigerated for a few days.

Mediterranean Beef Minestrone Soup

Mediterranean Beef Minestrone Soup by Salad Foodie

This feeds a crowd and then some. Hearty and healthy. Start this slow simmering soup early afternoon to have it ready for dinner, so there's time to develop the flavors. Or better yet, cook a day in advance and let the flavors sing next day. I take time to cut the meat and veggies in small pieces as this is a soup, not a stew, and the…

Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs

Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs by Salad Foodie

Italian-American in origin, this soup was really misnamed. “Wedding soup” is a mistranslation of the Italian language for 'minestra maritata', a reference to the fact that greens and meat go well together. (Well that’s a good marriage isn’t it?) I looked at several recipes of this popular soup, selected aspects of a few, added some…
