Slow Cooker Boeuf Bourguignon
I have somehow never even attempted Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon. I must have skipped over that week during JC100. This dish is easily adapted for a slow cooker because it is a stew recipe that … [Read more...]
Grilled Chicken with Tomato-Avocado Salad
I am in a grilling mood so there is going to be an influx of barbecue recipes on here, I think very few people will complain. We finally have a grill, but haven't set it up yet (oops) so I am still … [Read more...]

Angel Hair Pasta with Mussels in a Red Pepper Sauce
I'm on a slight mussel kick at the moment. I can't stop thinking about Eulogy's beer mussels, Bona Cucina's mussels in white wine, and most recently, a mussels in red sauce I had back in college. I … [Read more...]
Thirty Minute “Paella”
I absolutely love paella: rice, saffron, seafood... what isn't to like? If I could, I'd eat this amazing dish once a week. Traditional paella takes a good hour at least to make, so it would be quite … [Read more...]
