This is a simple, full-flavored version of tomato soup. I’ve already posted Simply Tomato Soup (with Options) and this is more or less that.

I purchased some lacinato kale the other day. I know. I know. I’ve ranted about how tired I am of kale in everything, but chocolate pudding. And I am tired of it, but I’m a puzzle. Okay? I do enjoy sautéed greens every now and then. Continue reading

Since so many of us grill more over the summer, I thought I would just pass this “custom” BBQ sauce along to you. This is one of those recipes that is ever-changing.

This is a great little recipe. It’s quick. It’s stupid easy. And you can throw it in the oven, when you begin dinner and in eight minutes, it’s done. As Ina Garten would say, “how easy is that?” Continue reading

bacon, bacon fat, broccoli florets, carrot, cilantro, Clementines, frozen peas, Garlic, ginger root, jasmine rice, onion, rice wine vinegar, Scallions, sesame oil, soy sauce
Whaaaaat? Clementines, in fried rice? There are all sorts of recipes in Asian cooking that use orange/Mandarin/tangerine. Orange chicken? Tangerine Beef (or chicken)? So why not fried rice? Oh, you noticed the bacon, too, did you? Continue reading

Yes, I know you can purchase taco seasoning, but this is incredibly simple to prepare and way more economical. Sometimes taco seasoning can be too salty for our taste. But, making your own allows you to control the amount of added salt and you can guarantee that it’s gluten-free! Continue reading

This is a beautiful salad. It positively screams “Spring”! It’s green…really green. And it has texture, as well as a velvety quality from the lettuces. The Mustard-Maple Vinaigrette is the perfect dressing for the salad. Continue reading

Gai Lan, hoisin sauce, red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, spring onions, vegetable oil
This is a really nice side dish for an Asian-inspired dinner. Well, for any dinner, really. I love spring onions. They are like giant scallions, but more onion-y and maybe a bit sweeter. At any rate, they’re darned delicious. Continue reading
