Green Pesto Pasta
| August 23, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe |
A quick weekday dinner Mommie sent me. She tore it out of a magazine – Midwest Living, perhaps? – and said she and Daddy-O had really liked it. So, of course, because mom knows best and mom’s cooking trumps all, I rushed to make it as soon as … I could eat pasta again. Stupid…
Raw Asparagus Salad
| June 20, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Recipe, Salads, Vegetarian |
Ugh. This one was a bust, friends, and I’m not talking about boobs. It sounded so promising – lemon, parmesan, asparagus ribbons all melded togteher in a crisp, refreshing, flavorful salad. Alas, it was not to be.
Red Chicken Enchiladas
| June 16, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe |
I have this funny thing about enchiladas. In that, well, I don’t really like them. But I make them all the time. Let me back up a bit. Enchiladas in most Mexican (or at least most “mexican” restaurants in the US that bear little-to-no resemblance to real food eaten in the real country of Mexico)…
Spinach & Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts
| May 27, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT |
Oh, my lovelies, you want to seriously impress someone? Make this. Oh, and you don’t want something that will take ages, 300 pans, and lots of frustration? Make this. I impressed myself with this one, people. Yeah, I know, I’m so awesome and blah blah blah. The truth is, a lot of times the things…
Jalapeno-Cheddar Corn Muffins
| May 12, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Breadmaking, Side Dishes, Vegetarian |
Corn bread, corn bread, wherefore art thou, corn bread? If you celebrated Easter with my family, you were awash in a sea of chili and cornbread – a chili cookoff, to be exact, with no fewer than three cornbread recipes to go alongside. You see, tired of the same old ham and cheddar potato casserole…
Potato & Broccoli Chowder
| April 18, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Make-ahead, Vegetarian |
Or, how to use up leftover corned beef if you don’t want hash. And why wouldn’t you, because it is deliciously salty and crispy and even better with an over-easy egg perched on top. But, if you have a god-forsaken cold and can’t taste all those wonderful, bad-for-you flavors, then what’s the point of indulging?…
White Pizza with Spinach and Garlic
| March 16, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breadmaking, Junk food, Main Course, Vegetarian |
Oh, old friend, how I’ve missed you so. First “discovered” during a dinner at Piece, our favorite brewery and pizzaria in this fair city, the amazing combination of garlic oil, spinach and sauteed mushrooms on crisp, airy dough has become a mythological goddess to us, guiding me through the hallowed woods of pizza making and,…
Italian Quesadillas
| February 27, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Recipe |
An originator, I am. Not two weeks after I made these – based on one of our all-time favorite pizzas – I see a exceptionally similar recipe posted on the Pioneer Woman’s site. “What?!” I exclaimed, aghast that my not-too-originality was usurped by the queen blogger herself. Or that I’m not the first person to…
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…
Baked Potato Fritatta
| February 21, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Breakfast, Make-ahead, MEAT |
I could really get used to fancy breakfast every day, I tell ya… My mom, knowing my food-centric brain, regularly sends me recipes she sees that she thinks I’d like, or like to post up on this here site. This was one of those recipe clippings, one that – as my mom knows –…
