I completely forgot to post Barefoot Bloggers’ recipe for Herb-Roasted Onions chosen by Kelly from Baking with the Boys. I dont’ particularly care for onions unless they are in something else, so I have to go off of my guinea pigs’ responses. Supposedly two-thumbs up. Click here for the recipe.

Almost a Disaster

When I made this Beef Bourguignon a few days ago it was one of those disastrous days in the kitchen. We’ve all had them: you burn yourself (in my case my right and left hands in separate incidents); you spill stuff (a canister of sugar and then water on my camera which, by the grace [...]
Macaroni and Cheese
Posted in Borrowed Recipes, Side Dishes, tagged cheese, food, Ina Garten, mac and cheese, macaroni, Recipes on November 11, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I was just dying to make macaroni and cheese last week. There is something about cold weather and having to retire my flip flops and gauzy tops (ok, they should have been retired long ago) in favor of fleece hoodies and drawstring sweats that makes me crave pasta, butter, and cheese. Unfortunately for me, I [...]

You can file this one under “cooking for dummies.” This scampi is the simple version, but feel free to add spinach, tomatoes, capers, etc. It is the perfect weeknight meal: satisfying, quick, and cheap. Most Italian restaurants would charge you at least $15 for a plate of scampi, but you can make a meal for [...]

I really hate brag, but someone should give me my own show. This black bean soup is just awesome flavored awesome. I know, black bean soup isn’t the sexiest meal around. It is humble, cheap, and earthy. Well, what’s wrong with that? Ingredients 1 lb. black beans, rinsed and soaked olive oil 1 onion, diced [...]

This is not your typical chicken salad. I have a strong aversion to mayonnaise and a natural predilection for anything with black beans and cilantro, so of course this is my go-to sandwich filler. Moist, plump, baked chicken is simply tossed with cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, avocado, corn, and black beans. After marrying the [...]
Whole Wheat Pitas

Perhaps I am naive, but I had always thought pitas got their characteristic pouch by placing one solid round atop another and then pressing them together just around the edges (like an empty ravioli maybe?). It’s not that I had given too much thought to the process, but it wasn’t until I saw the puffed [...]
