Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Sauce

April 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Cauliflower!  Sometimes I don’t think it gets the love and respect it deserves.  It’s kind of plain when you stack it up next to the showier veggies like asparagus and beets and broccoli, with all their bright colors.  So let’s give the humble cauliflower a little help.  As in, let’s steam it up until it is nice and tender, and then let’s drizzle it with an extravagant amount of blue cheese sauce and sprinkle it lovingly with chopped scallions.  Let’s do that.

Chicken in Buttered White Wine Pan Sauce

April 22, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Chicken, you old reliable stand-by, you.  You are always here for us…on those days when we are running in a million different directions all day long, and at the end of that long day we come home to a house full of people with hungry, expectant looks on their faces, you never let us down.  You are always, always reliable…but if I’m going to be totally honest, you CAN be just a teeny bit, well, boring.  Unless we cook you up with an easy, elegant buttered white wine pan sauce.  Then, chicken, you rock.

Spring Vegetable Risotto with Poached Egg

April 17, 2014 by 2 Comments

I’m finally starting to believe that the Long Winter of 2014 might actually, really, potentially be over.  My mom’s daffodils are finally up.  I can see little tiny buds on our cherry tree.  The 12 foot mound of snow that has been in our driveway for months has melted into nothing.  And so visions of spring veggies are dancing in my head…and in this particular vision, they are nestled into a creamy risotto with a poached egg melting into the whole thing.  That’s a good vision, right?  Let’s make it a reality.
