Welsh Rarebit Mac & Cheese
View recipe: Welsh Rarebit Mac & CheeseI don’t really eat macaroni and cheese often, mostly because of all that fatty stuff that goes into and makes it so darned tasty! But when I do get a craving it is definitely NOT for that boxed crap filled with nutrition-less noodles and orange powder…what animal does powdered cheese come from?? Anyway when I…

Spicy Paella
View recipe: Spicy PaellaIt has been awhile since I’ve enjoyed any culinary treats from Spain. The last time I hit up a Spanish restaurant it was in the birthplace of Einstein and unfortunately the food was not as great as its most famous citizen! I didn’t get the paella but my husband did and boy was he disappointed.…

Faux Spaghetti & Sauce
View recipe: Faux Spaghetti & SauceIn my quest to learn about new things or just to try foods I’ve never eaten, I recently stumbled upon spaghetti squash. I’d heard of it but I really hadn’t seen it up close before. So last week I spotted it at the grocery store and targeted it as my next culinary feat. I went…

Beer & Seafood Soup in a Bread Bowl
View recipe: Beer & Seafood Soup in a Bread BowlI wouldn’t say that I lead a sheltered life as a young child but I was a fully grown adult before I had the luxury of eating soup from a bowl made out of bread. I was living in Boston back in 2004 and working hard for John Kerry and sharing a huge coastal house…

Sweet & Savory Bulgur Salad
View recipe: Sweet & Savory Bulgur SaladI am not one of those people who hate salad. Whether it is the lettuce and dressing variety or the pasta variety, I love a good salad. In fact I am such a salad lover that I don’t need lettuce or pasta, and often I forego both when I’m feeling adventurous or simply tired of…

Crispy Zucchini Cakes
View recipe: Crispy Zucchini CakesLately I have had a major hankering for crab cakes. Not fake surimi cakes but honest to goodness crispy crab cakes with little bits of color and that tang of Old Bay seasoning. Unfortunately finding crab—at a reasonable price—around these parts is about as easy as finding Unicorn meat so I had to improvise. At…

Dirty Rice & Beans
View recipe: Dirty Rice & BeansWhen I was younger I guess I was like most kids and teens, equating good food with, what I now know is unhealthy crap. As such whenever there was a dish that contained both beans and rice—and no meat—I looked at it as Third World food. I would turn my nose up at it and…

Mushroom & Guinness Stroganoff
View recipe: Mushroom & Guinness StroganoffOne of my favorite things to do for my husband is to take traditionally meat-based meals and turn them vegetarian for him. Of course it’s for me too, but if left to my own devices I’d probably chop up some filet and make old school beef stroganoff. One day in the market I passed by…

Mediterranean Sardines & Herbed Bulgur
View recipe: Mediterranean Sardines & Herbed BulgurIn my recently rediscovered love of all things whole fish I decided to give sardines a try. I mean, I’ve had sardines before but usually of the canned and packed in oil variety, but I’ve never had the actual fish in all its bony glory. So when I spotted these babies in the frozen section—not…

Game Day ‘Tato Skins
View recipe: Game Day ‘Tato SkinsI’ll admit that my days of watching football or basketball are far, far behind me. And honestly when I’m in the throes of a tennis match the only thing in my hand is a cocktail. But since everyone around me is a soccer (or football) fanatic, sometimes it’s important to have a few game day…
