Last night James had duck. It was a rather large slab of duck, and neither one of us wanted to eat it aside some potatoes or steamed veggies tonight. We decided to use it in a soup – and to be honest, the only reason… Read More

Sibling Rivalry
Today is James’ birthday. This meant a special dinner was in order – namely Sibling Rivalry. I’ve heard great things about the dueling chef/brother restaurant before but had never stepped foot inside. We started with appetizers (both Chef Bob’s) – Mussels in a curry, coconut… Read More
Every once in awhile, you have to be bad…
I know that the goal of this blog, and in general, is to not eat out and spend money on food, but this week and next week are just not set up to accomodate my “save money and cook at home” life style. Last night I… Read More
Comfort Food
I’ve developed a cough. This isn’t just a simple “cough, cough” but a hacking, tear through my body cough. Bummer. What better to eat when you’re sick than homemade soup. Lack of meat meant extra potatoes. Here’s the skinny – 4 1/2 cups of chicken stock… Read More

Fishin’
I had totally intended on making a yummy crusted Tilapia tonight with a ginger soy sauce (recipe here: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/OVEN-FRIED-TILAPIA-WITH-GINGER-SOY-GLAZE-1226975). Sadly, I defrosted salmon instead (disguised because my Saranwrap is red tinted…). This meant a change in plans. I whipped together a Salmon in Szechuan sauce… Read More
Spinach Feta Stuffed Chicken
Recently I discovered how easy it is to make stuffed chicken. Not that this is anything gourmet, but the surprise pocket of flavor inside is always welcome. (Unless of course you hate chicken). Tonight I made chicken stuffed with spinach and feta. Lacking a meat… Read More
