Yes, chicken. For the first time on this blog in over a year. I didn’t eat it, but I wanted to surprise Mike on Valentines Day and chicken was definitely a surprise. (Vegetarians…don’t abandon me yet, this marinade would be FANTASTIC with tofu!) Only good things in the marinade: [...]
Sometimes I like making dinner so much I get to do it twice in one night. Or, more realistically, Mike is a whole lot more excited about chicken than he is about tempeh, so I end up figuring out how to make a recipe two ways. (Although he did [...]
There is a mediocre (at best) restaurant in the town where I went to college, and I’m now ashamed when I think about how often I ate there. I always ordered the Asian Spa Salad which, in retrospect, was really pretty terrible: a bunch of iceberg lettuce in a [...]
I read a LOT of food blogs on a regular basis, and I’m starting to see a trend: I gravitate towards blogs with a) fantastic, beautiful pictures and b) original recipes. This is because my blog usually has c) none of the above (but I’m working on it! I [...]
Home ec class, Hollywood Senior High School, Nedlands, Western Australia. That’s where, in the fall of 1997, I fell in love with cooking. I had cooked periodically before that, but that was the first time I got to do everything myself, start to finish. I was in heaven. One [...]

I have wanted to make this recipe for awhile, and it definitely did not disappoint! While the cookbook says to serve it over rice, I really wanted to make injera. For those not familiar with Ethiopian food, Injera is a large, spongy flatbread used to scoop up stew. This [...]
The rumors are true! Pioneer Woman’s Crispy Yogurt Chicken is awesome. Beyond awesome. Someone, please help me find a new adjective. My sixth graders so gently reminded me today that you have to vary the adjectives you use, and I overuse that one. Anyway, about this chicken. I loved it. [...]
Our pantry is FULL. We went on a few too many shopping trips to ethnic grocery stores so I am now fully stocked on a TON of spices, all kinds of dried grains and legumes, and noodles from several different international cuisines. My challenge for this week is [...]
This is a great way to cook chicken without adding any fat, and it gives the meat great flavor while keeping it tender. Served over rice, it’s a delicious and simple meal with a nice amount of protein to keep you going. I added a lot of broth to my [...]
