Savory Vegetable Pie
| July 27, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Leftovers, Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
The Williams Sonoma catalog: love it or hate it? As a young fatkid in training, I looked forward to the mail days when that glossy, food-filled catalog would show up in the box. Page after page of gourmet candies, prepared mixes, enticing meats, cheeses, colorful accessories, lots of recipes, and the like could leave me…
Hoisin Pork & Asparagus Stir Fry
| July 21, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Main Course, Recipe |
So my cousin Abs introduced me to this wonderful YouTube thing called “My Drunk Kitchen,” and let me just say, Hannah is amazing. She’s funny; she’s drunk; and she makes shit to eat. It’s awesome. I’ve watched so many (all 6 I guess is more accurate) of her videos that I feel myself morphing into…
Crab “Neptune” Salad
| July 15, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Leftovers, Main Course, Make-ahead, Recipe, Salads |
Oh, how I love this salad. It’s a staple of my favorite, favorite, best-ever summer dinner (or at least the favorite of this here moment): COLD SUPPER. Sounds good, don’t it? Despite a boring name, and a totally adaptable and non-consistent definition, cold supper were my favorite words growing up. OK, some of many favorite…
Chicken Cacciatore
| April 29, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Main Course, MEAT |
This is one of those perfect meals to make when you stare into an empty refrigerator, pore through an empty cupboard, look vainly through a cavernous freezer, and think, GOOD LORD what am I going to make for dinner? Because, friends of mine, you mostly need pantry items for this one. If you’re like me,…
BBQ Potato “Skins”
| April 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Leftovers, Main Course, MEAT |
Not a lot of photos today, since I wasn’t sure how these would turn out nor was I particularly in the “let’s share and document everything” sort of mood last night. After traveling last weekend, getting a bad cold, traveling this week for work, cleaning, laundry-ing, running 2 miles, and looking ahead to yet another…
(Relatively) Skinny Meatloaf
| March 28, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Main Course, MEAT, Recipe |
Food confessional time: I’ve never had meatloaf. “What!?” you say, in shock, “You’ve never feasted on the most American of American foods, besides the cheeseburger, never eagerly anticipated Sunday meatloaf-and-mashed potato dinner, never boasted that your mom’s meatloaf was the best of them all?!” No. I’ve never had meatloaf. I mean, I’m sure I came…
Brunswick Stew
| March 21, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Freezer food, Leftovers, Main Course |
Being a Midwesterner has its advantages. I like to think we’re heartier than people who grew up on the beach or in warmer climes, having lived through and learned to endure many, many long, frigid, snowy, everlasting winters. Sowed in the land of farms and factories, we’re practical and resourcesful, certainly not wasteful. For the…
Spicy Spaghetti Pie
| March 14, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
Yum. That’s all I really need to say here. Except, can I ever stop there? No, is the answer, much though others might wish otherwise. No, my verbosity is growing day to day as this outlet for my ramblings increases, rather than bleeds, them. Unfortunate though it may be, I’m just a raving lunatic…
Eggs in Purgatory
| March 1, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Leftovers, Main Course, Vegetarian |
This is a traditional italian supper that arose out of necessity, like so many of the best things do, as a way to use up leftover tomato sauce from last night’s dinner. I wouldn’t be surprised if this meat-free entree graced many a Friday dinner table in that Catholic nation. I’d never had it before,…
Garlic & Gruyere Soup
| February 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Freezer food, Leftovers, Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
Oh, the wonderful world of bloggers! A week ago I decided to join Tasty Kitchen, the cooks’ community started by one Pioneer Woman, the idol of many a humble home cook and blogger. Like a food nerd facebook, the site allows members to post their own recipes, share photos of food, link to their own…
