Mine doesn’t look like this

It’s actually been a few months since I made Chilequiles, but Pam was asking for recipes for good, healthy, week-long-leftovers dishes. This one’s a staple. For the greens I’ve used both spinach and chard. I also really [...]
Béa asks for favorite eggplant recipes. I only have one way I like to cook it these days. It’s a recipe shared verbally by an Israeli co-worker.
Simple Grilled Eggplant
I’ve got no measurements for you, but it’s simple enough. The ratio of lemon juice to tahini is the only part that took some experimentation. And [...]
I’ve been working on this one for a few years and I think I got pretty close to perfection yesterday afternoon with the latest batch. I’m only using homegrown tomatillos which makes for for a limited number of chances to evolve the recipe.
I like a nice, fresh-tasting salsa, but I also learned recently from [...]
Made this on Saturday with the first of our harvested habanero peppers. The recipe called for any type of hot pepper to suit your heat preference. I used about 1/2 of a seeded habanero and it was hot. An excellent, gradually building heat; the kind where you almost don’t notice your mouth’s on fire until [...]
Leftover grilled corn-on-the-cob is a great thing to have in the fridge when the volume of ripe grape tomatoes in the garden starts to increase. Possibly inspired by a great-looking striped bass recipe, I threw this salad together last night.
* 4 leftover, grilled ears of corn
* 1/2 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
* 1 minced jalapeno
* [...]
Burned by bad chicken from Wilson Farm again! I love Wilson Farm. It is 5 minutes from my house. I do all my weekly shopping there. But. They seem to have some chronic issues keeping their chicken breasts fresh.
The latest incident involved a package of split breasts purchased on Monday, July 23rd with an [...]
Got this recipe via my CSA newsletter. It works for all kinds of greens–spinach, kale, chard, etc.– but my favorite is with broccoli rabe (aka, rapini). I’ve tweaked it a little and added a bit of acid in the form of lemon juice or vinegar towards the end of the cooking.
* 2 T olive oil
* [...]
“Patio Fries” is a name I came up with because it sounds better than if I were to say “frozen Trader Joe’s fries cooked on the grill.” For a long time the fries of choice were sweet potato fries. Trader Joe’s has recently discontinued that product (doh!) and so lately I’ve been using their crinkle [...]
I spent several years in college working for Iriana’s Pizza, the best pizza joint in Little Rock, AR. Some might think that’s not saying much, but Little Rock actually has pretty wide variety of good, independent pizza. There was also Vino’s, U.S. Pizza, Pizza D’Action (my afterhours stomping ground), and Olde World Pizza.
OK, so first [...]
I had a couple of pork tenderloins rubbed with some seasoned salt and pepper all set to go on the grill last night. But the weather didn’t cooperate. The situation called for a last-minute recipe switcheroo, so I dug out an old fave that I haven’t made in awhile.
Rub each tenderloin with about 1 Tbsp [...]
