Here is my take on a roasted potato – simple and tasty and like a rustic potato chip. And who doesn’t like potato chips! I seasoned the potato with olive oil, pepper, and Spice Island’s Rosemary Garlic Grinder to make it even easier to prepare. Heat the oven up, it’s roasted potato slice time!

Again, as part of the planning (remember, I used part of a cabbage head in the Drunken Noodles recipe a few days ago), here comes a tasty German inspired braised cabbage dish. A dish perfect for the meal I have planned (Knackwurst), but this dish is great with Schnitzel or Rouladen also. Well, it is not going to cook itself, so let’s get to it, OK?

As part of the planning, I knew I would have Thai basil, ginger, and cilantro left over from the Drunken Noodles meal, so it was time for me to make one of my favorite dishes – fried rice. Fried rice is one of the ultimate dishes in that you can make it so many different ways with whatever ingredients you have on hand. But tonight, it is not just any fried rice, but yellow curry fried rice. I have had several different variations of this dish at restaurants; some with pineapple, some without, some with Thai…
Back in August, I posted ‘Cheater, cheater… pizza eater!‘ on how to make a custom pizza quickly using Papa Murphy’s $5 Fave pizza. Today, this is the real deal – pizza from scratch. Yep, you read that correctly… homemade pizza dough for one. I apologize to my Chicago friends in advance as this recipe is more like a New York style pizza, but I will get to a Chicago style pizza eventually! This recipe takes a bit of planning to allow the dough to rise, but overall was simple to…
Feeling like something spicy? Feeling like something incredibly satisfying? How about robust flavors? Well, if all this sounds great to you, may I suggest tonight’s meal – Drunken Noodles! I made this recipe with chicken, Thai basil, cilantro, fish sauce, ginger, shallot, scallions, cabbage, carrot and a host of other supporting ingredients. Yes, I used a chicken breast (of course) but thinly sliced beef, prawns, etc work equally well. The challenge of this dish is in the preparation. Have everything ready to go before you start because once you get started, it comes together…
Prepare to have your taste buds engaged! This recipe for Swedish Meatballs produces a wonderfully flavorful meal that is well worth the effort. This recipe can be made with just ground beef, but it comes alive with a mix of beef and lamb (or beef, lamb and pork!). The addition of nutmeg and allspice with a slight hint of cinnamon really warms up the flavors and deepens the creamy gravy augmented with sour cream. Are you intrigued now? If so, let’s get to it!
