After hours of research based on a request from my wife, I found a simple, but absolutely delicious blueberry muffin recipe. No unusual or special ingredients, no tricky or complicated directions, just a simple flour, sugar, oil, egg, and milk recipe. Actually, I can see the base aspect of this recipe as a blank canvas – blueberry, lemon blueberry, apple cinnamon, cherry chocolate, pumpkin spice… you get the idea. Call it breakfast or dessert, these muffins won’t last long once you make them. Which is a good thing, because as easy as these…
Sometimes, you just feel like comfort food and for me that can be any number of dishes – goulash, chili, pasta bolognese, drunken noodles, and this dish. I love the simplicity – the preparation is where you spend most of your time and let’s face it, cutting up some vegetables and meat isn’t difficult work. The S&B curry cubes also make this dish easy and intensely flavorful. You can choose from Mild to Extra Hot to suit your tastes. I add extra vegetables into mine because why not? Veggies are…
Last night’s dinner comes compliments of The Daring Gourmet where I tweaked her Slow Cooker Greek Chicken recipe by making it sous vide. Using her Greek Seasoning as the flavor driver, I figured making this dish sous vide would create a vibrant result. As suggested in the original recipe, I served this dish with rice, but not just any rice dish. I went fully international and paired this dish with a Caribbean rice – Puerto Rican Arroz con Gandules. Sounds crazy, huh? I had a feeling the flavors would compliment each other rather than…
This recipe for Austrian Beef Stew comes from Milk Street, Christopher Kimball’s latest venture. It is based on a dish he enjoyed in Salzburg, which is where my mom was from. I had never heard of this style of goulash until I saw his show. But in doing some research, I found another similar recipe that also looks delicious so I had to give it a try. Of course, the COVID-19 ‘stay at home’ orders makes it easy to cook something like this dish, provided you have all the ingredients. There…
Let’s revisit a dish from the past that screams ‘comfort’ food. And strangely enough, this dish is also good for using up leftover vegetables like onion, celery, peppers, etc. Here’s the original recipe I wrote – Sloppy Joes – and it is tasty, but this week while in ‘rona lockdown, I decided to use up some vegetables and hamburger buns (I mean how can 1 person eat 8 hamburger buns before they go stale and mold!), so sloppy joes got the call. Also, this dish got the call because…
Everyone is cooking and baking more during the COVID-19 lockdown, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the dishes you normally pick up on the way home or have delivered. Sure, you can call UberEats or DoorDash to handle your cravings, but what if you took this opportunity to make it yourself. This pizza is one such dish – perfect for making at home while you are stuck inside. Of course, it takes a little preparation by picking up the pepperoni, cheese, etc during one of your essential trips to the…
