Citrus Shrimp

Jun22

See that platter of citrus shrimp deliciousness? As much as I wish I could claim credit for what is now my absolute favorite summertime shrimp recipe, all of this deliciousness is coming to us from my friend Robyn and her delectable ADD A PINCH cookbook. More below on why this is my current cookbook obsession, but for right now I need to tell you that this is a super quick, super easy, super scrumptious recipe of tropical shrimp heaven.

So, if you want to fall head over heels with a perfect shrimp supper AND a fabulous new cookbook, come along with me and let’s make it!

Red Wine Short Ribs

Oct6

Ah, these red wine short ribs! They are the perfect, hearty, easy way to welcome in fall. Because as much as I hate to say farewell to the basil and the local tomatoes and my flip-flops and sleeping with the window open, there’s something comforting about breaking out the cozy sweaters and the first fire in the fireplace of the season. And of a warm and wonderful supper bubbling busily on the stovetop on a gray Sunday afternoon. Ready to break in fall with me? Let’s make it!

Seared Steak Tartare

Sep25

Let me start by saying that yes, I realize that this recipe for seared steak tartare is breaking all kinds of steak tartare rules. The main one being that steak tartare is supposed to be, well, raw. And I am definitely one of those people who loves a good traditional steak tartare in all of its uncooked glory. So let me go on record as saying that.

However, there are also folks out there who aren’t quite into the whole totally raw meat thing…and I understand that, but I also can’t bear for you to live without the glory that is steak tartare. So for you I present a seared steak tartare…still super rare on the inside, but with a quick char on the outside, and cooked with garlic and rosemary and drizzled with olive oil and capers and oh my my. Let’s make it!

Tender Slow Cooked Chicken

Sep22

One of the things I always always always have on hand in my fridge is cooked chicken, because along with being part of a quick, good and good for you grab and go meal all on its own, it is also a key ingredient for so many of my recipes. From chicken salads to chicken soups, having already cooked chicken makes my suppertime life SO much easier.

And so of course I wanted the tenderest, most favorable, most fall apart shreddable chicken in the entire world, and the secret to that? This super easy recipe, which roasts your chicken low and slow with a bunch of herbs and lemons and garlic and oh my goodness…let’s make it!

Greek Shrimp Scampi

Aug14

Oh, how I do love this recipe for Greek shrimp scampi! It is a mixture of regular shrimp scampi and that classic recipe where you bake together shrimp and tomatoes and feta, only there is no baking, because this is one of my most tried and true speedy weeknight dishes, and you KNOW how I feel about the 30 minutes and under rule. So this delicious little number does it all in one skillet. Well, and one pot for the pasta if you are going to get all technical on me. Easy, elegant, shrimp, cheese, pasta…you understand my love, right? Let’s make it!

Grilled Steak and Scallions

Jul21

One of the things I like about this recipe for grilled steak and scallions is that it gives scallions the proper love and respect they deserve. They are as good a veggie as their cousins the summer squash and the broccoli and the asparagus and all the other green things that tend to end up on our plates next to our grilled steak. Not that I have anything at all against any of those veggies, but I’m here to tell you that if you give a bunch of scallions a drizzle of olive oil and pop them on your grill until you get a nice char, and then pop them on the plate with some sea salt and some chopped onion and sliced grilled steak and a little glug of butter over the whole thing, you will be lining up next to me in the Scallion Appreciation Society. Ready to give some scallions some love? Let’s make it!
