Another crowd-pleaser from my teaching days. We made these, of course, in the protein unit. The kids loved them and many made for their families at home. I’ve never bought the frozen chicken nuggets from the store, but my daughter had some at a friend’s house the other night and I felt bad, like...
I’d like to get props for teaching my students how to make fish tacos over ten years ago; they’re a mainstream menu item now but it wasn’t the case then. These fish tacos have remained in my memory in such a way that I won’t order the dish off a menu; these are the...
Almost 700 recipes on here and this is the first one for chicken wings. There are like, twenty for scones though. Clearly I like to cook what I like to eat. Chicken wings have never been my favorite; that is, until I had the olive oil and herb wings at Anthony’s Coal Fire Pizza...
Pepper steak is a recipe I grew up eating, but it’s certainly relevant today. Naturally dairy and gluten free, it also happens to be wintertime comfort food at its healthiest. Serve it over cauliflower rice for a really light, nutrient rich, protein packed weeknight dinner.
I love America’s Test kitchen, but at times I get frustrated because over time they’ll remake recipes, saying, “no, THIS is now the best pie crust”. I’m like, wasn’t it your whole job to ensure that the recipe you put out is the best version of each dish? How can there be another one...
My mom didn’t do a lot of casseroles growing up but she did make a mean mac and cheese and a tuna noodle casserole. I just loved the tuna. Unfortunately along the way, casseroles became synonymous with canned cream of mushroom soup. I for one, am ready to change that. This is the original...
Taco Tuesday is a common idea and though we love Mexican food, it’s not one we enjoy. I never seem to have the right ingredients on hand, all at the same time. Recently we ate at a friend’s house and Tessa loved her tacos there so much that she’s been asking for them on...
There’s definitely something very feral about gnawing on drumsticks, I’m not gonna lie.
Big win for this dinner with the whole family. I don’t often cook a pork tenderloin, only because they don’t sell them in giant organic packs at Costco. This was a flavor profile I’m not as used to; I use allspice in granola and some cookies but not usually on meat. Plus, cherries? Trust me,...
Growing up in an Italian-American family introduced certain words to my vocabulary that I thought were commonplace until I got older. “Pastine” was in a pot on the stove every Saturday, and if you ever groaned that your stomach hurt a mother (or aunt or mommom) would ask if you had “agita”. Now that...
