Greetings all, sorry for my relatively sparse postings these last few weeks. My mind has been contemplating many more topics besides what is brewing in the kitchen, but a girl has to eat and I have made some real winners these last few days. Todays recipe for Barbecue Chicken Pizza is one of that I […]

Picadillo Chimichangas
Yum! This turned out really well and was way faster to put together than I originally expected. The ingredient list might look a tad long but I bet you’ll find most of these things on hand in your pantry or refrigerator. I made a few a few adjustments to the original recipe; namely I reduced […]
30-Minute Chipotle Turkey Chili
I know, I know, there have been quite a few hispanic inspired dishes recently but I promise this is not strictly a south of the border site and more diverse fare will come your way soon. Now that I’ve hopefully assuaged your misgivings, I can assure you that even after chimichangas, fish tacos, and grilled […]
Turkey Turnovers! the Answer to Leftovers
Lets talk about leftovers. If you’re like me, leftovers are simultaneously despised and loved. On days when you arrive home ravenous the delay that cooking presents to eating can sometimes seem unacceptable and a plate of leftovers is heaven-sent. On the other hand eating leftovers multiple days in a row can bother even the most […]
Tomatillo-Pepita Gazpacho!
I set off the fire alarm making this. It’s not as bad as it sound though, if the fire department had been summoned it might have been. You see this is not your run of the mill tomato based Gazpacho, but a tangier Tomatillo-Pepita Gazpacho and it’s green! As you might have guessed the vibrant […]
Asian Steak and Spinach Salad
Today’s recipe comes from Chef Extraordinaire Cat Cora. I waxed poetically about my adoration for Cat’s creations in a previous post , and after making this salad I am ready to hijack a radiostation and broadcast my love for her recipes through the medium of syndicated sound. Lucky for folks who don’t like talking about food […]
California Chili (Tasty Vegetarian Fare)
Welcome to the new and improved leggy cooks. If the revamp comes as a bit of a surprise trust me; I am as taken aback as you. This apparently is what happens when your boyfriends work calendar lightens up and he is left home alone for a few hours. New look aside, you’ll still find […]
Lasagna!
I LOVE lasagna. Tender lasagna noodles layered with a homemade sauce, creamy ricotta, and finished with a sprinkling of Mozzarella and Parmesan oh so good! I can’t imagine a much better combination of textures and flavors. I have several other lasagna recipes and even a tortilla lasagna which are all tummy rubbing good, but this […]
North African Chicken Stew
Hello and Happy 2011 (16 days late)! Today, in the New Years tradition of eating right and getting back into shape I’m starting off the year with a delicious and nutritious African Stew. I was SO excited to make this for several reasons; chief among them that I got to break in my brand spanking […]
Salmon-Topped Hash
Hello all! Sorry for my unannounced leave of absence over the latter half of September. Life got exponentially more hectic in the last two weeks, and I didn’t spend much time engaging in many of the activities that I normally do. While things are not completely back to normal I am happy to report that […]
