This a very easy meal I’ve been making for myself lately. I’ll cook up a big batch on Sunday and have it for dinner most of the week. It’s awesome because it’s dirt cheap, easy, and you can eat a ton of it while feeling satisfied by never lethargic.

Ingredients:

Last weekend I was looking for something Irish to eat for the holiday and I came across this recipe on Simply Recipies. I think it turned out very well, but I think my cup of flour wasn’t nearly the same amount of stuff as her cup of flour because my dough just didn’t want [...]

I consider something like this to be a dish reserved for special occasions. I’m a little late in posting this because I actually made this with Melanie for Valentine’s Day. The most time consuming part by far was reducing the wine sauce, but I think it was well worth it. I’m [...]

After watching the cube steak episode of ‘Good Eats’, I was inspired to try Alton’s recipe for country style steak. My method was exactly the same as his, but I changed the ingredient list a bit to suit my tastes and current pantry.

The wonton wrapper is a rarely used item in the supermarket, but just by making this dish I see endless possibility within view. Any combination of meat and finely diced vegetation can be wrapped up in this device. It can then be steamed, seared, boiled, or broiled… truly a multi-tasker.

Inspiration for this is a combination [...]

This dish wasn’t anything impressive, but I thought it was very tasty. I just took chicken breasts and soaked them in Half n’ Half for about an hour. This seemed to give them a little more adhesive quality. Then I liberally rubbed them with paprika, salt, and black pepper. After that [...]

For the most part this is the chili that has now become standard fare for me. Its basic idea came from ‘Good Eats’ as usual. Alton does his in a pressure cooker, but since I don’t have one of those, I cook mine in a slow cooker of some kind.

The basic recipe I [...]
