Pollo alla Romana (Roman Style Chicken)

  When I was in culinary school in Italy… No, not really. I did go to Italy once when I was 17. Milan, Venice… I wish I could go now with my middle aged lady eyes and brain, but I’ll have to settle for memories and photos of me trying to avoid having my photoContinue reading “Pollo alla Romana (Roman Style Chicken)”

Easy Miso Ginger Chicken Thighs

  Every once in a while, I like to bake or cook something that will challenge me to think differently about food. Something that takes a lot of brain power to come up with or will be a feat of endurance, requiring hours and hours of intensive planning and physical labor in the kitchen. TodayContinue reading “Easy Miso Ginger Chicken Thighs”

Christmas and Thanksgiving Roundup

Like a true Northern Ohioan who was taught how to cook by someone who grew up duringContinue reading “White Chili with Sprouted Rice and Quinoa”

Khoresh-e Loobia Sabz (Persian Green Bean Stew with Chicken)

After last night’s tahdig fail, I thought I’d try to redeem myself with another Persian dish that I’ve actually made before. I copied this recipe from Turmeric and Saffron, which is really the definitive Persian recipe blog. Beautiful photos, great recipes. I tweaked a couple of things, but it’s essentially the same recipe.

Ginger Curry Vegan (or chicken!) Chickpea Slow Cooker Stew with Quinoa and Sprouted Rice

This curry is so good for you. Fresh ginger and garlic and onions and magic spices… Great for when everyone in the house (but me! so far.) has a head cold. Also good when November comes 2 months early to Seattle. I usually make this without chicken, but I roasted a chicken last night, andContinue reading “Ginger Curry Vegan (or chicken!)
