Sunday I made polenta (see recipe here). Since it was a side, I had plenty of leftovers I needed to use up. Inspired by some of the more traditional ways to serve polenta, I cut it into a few pieces and grilled it in some… Read More

Pork Chops (and polenta)
I haven’t really had pork chops… ever. Maybe once or twice as a kid, but nothing that’s stuck with me. I’ve avoided pork chops like the plague, until I read a Mario Batali recipe that would require me to eat said ‘chops. Since that specific… Read More
Chicken Parm
I promise, I haven’t been eating out. I’ve just been reheating leftovers. But I did make dinner tonight (last night I had a cupcake, so that didn’t count). What you’ll need: 2 chicken breasts (about 1/2 lb each) 1/4 cup flour 1 egg 1/4 cup bread… Read More

Bacon and Leek Risotto

Roasted Veggies
Turnips were on sale this weekend. Having never made a turnip before, I decided to try it out. Did you know that turnips are dipped in wax? And this is normal?! Anyway, you peal the turnip skin off, and get rid of the wax. I… Read More
Coconut Curry Mussels
Saturday, my mom and I decided to recreate the coconut curry mussels I had at Sibling Rivalry. Having just broken into the world of mussel making, we were eager to try again. I found a recipe through Epicurious (here you go!) and we proceeded (albeit… Read More
Salsa Verde Turkey Burgers
It’s been awhile. Shame on me. Wednesday James and I had a horrific dinner at Top of the Hub (yes, horrific). Thursday I had Funfetti cake for dinner. So tonight was salsa verde turkey burger night! What you’ll need: 1 lb ground turkey meat 1/2 cup… Read More
