This is quite possible the easiest chicken recipe, but it’s so delicious and devoured every time. Make sure to use lots of mushrooms because they are the best part! I like baby bella mushrooms, but you could also use shitake, cremini, white, or a mix. The recipe can be doubled or tripled so it’s a […]

Thai BBQ Chicken
I’ve been making a lot of pad thai recently (yes, I’ll share the recipe soon, still perfecting it), and the sauce is definitely the best part of pad thai (although AK would argue the mung beans are…I digress). Classic pad thai sauce is a combination of tamarind, palm sugar, and fish sauce (or soy sauce). […]
Cholent Cook-off Champion!
Sorry I’ve been MIA, but I’m getting married next month so things have been a little crazy. I probably won’t have much time to post between now and then, but bear with me, I’ll be back in full force in September 🙂 A few weeks ago I went to a Jewish leadership conference, where, among […]
Smoky Turkey Chili w/ Sage
Before you say anything, I realize this is my second recipe in a row using sage (in my kitchen it’s my third: I made a batch of savory and delicious sage pumpkin muffins). This is one of the ways I save money–I take an ingredient that I won’t use up in one recipe (like fresh […]
Dinner Party Main Dish: Crock Pot Spice-Rubbed Chicken w/ Garlic, Onions & Blood Oranges
I don’t use my crock pot nearly enough, so I decided to make a crock pot chicken for my main dish. I layered the bottom of the crock pot with sliced onions and baby potatoes (red bliss, purple & yukon), stuffed the chicken (under the skin and inside the cavity) with sliced blood oranges, onions […]
Crock Pot Curry Chicken
Crock pots are amazing (I neglected to mention them in my post about kitchen gadgets, they are definitely well worth the investment, plus they are on sale this time of year). My friends SK & JT recently bought one, and JT has been wanting to experiment with cooking chicken in it. JT, this recipe is […]
Crockpot London Broil w/ Red Wine & Fennel
I participated in a professional development program this past Spring, and I’ve stayed in touch with a number of other people from my cohort, especially those who live in my area. A fellow cohort member was in town from the West Coast for a conference, so I invited a small group over to my place […]
Crockpot Deliciousness
Cooking with crockpots (also called slow cookers) is amazing. You throw in a bunch of ingredients, turn it on, and a delicious meal is ready for you when you get home from work. It’s almost like it cooks itself! Oh wait…it does 🙂 Since a bunch of us didn’t have plans for Friday night dinner […]
I’m a Cholent Nerd
I admit that I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to cooking, but I believe it has helped me perfect cholent-making. Cholent is traditional Jewish stew that one cooks on low for a long period of time, usually to have for lunch on the Sabbath. I’ve had good cholent, but because it […]
