During the holiday season, we are treated with many decadent culinary delights. It is the time of year when calories don’t count (because, clearly, it is important for your health to develop a “winter layer”) and heavy cream and cartons of butter are staples in your refrigerator. After our fourth holiday party, having never missed [...]
There are times in our lives when we just need to be nurtured. Not only was today a Monday, but it was also the first day of the year that had that real winter chill in the air. With many people at work out sick, I thought I better prepare a meal that would warm [...]
Out of everything on the Thanksgiving table, this dish is my favorite. For anyone who has ever spent Thanksgiving with me, you know that creamed onions are kind of my specialty. Ever since I was little I have had a strong affinity for onions. My mom says that when I was little, she would often [...]
Aside from the turkey, the next most important piece of the Thanksgiving meal has to be stuffing, so I thought I would hurry up and do a post on my favorite kind of stuffing. I didn’t grow up eating cornbread stuffing. My mother always prepared stuffing with freshly baked, crusty French bread which she would [...]
For most families, the thought of cranberry sauce evokes images in your mind of the gelatinous substance that slides out of the can, little ridges still intact, that you can slice with a knife and smother over your turkey. I know this is an American classic, and I am not here to suggest that you [...]
As our array of Thanksgiving recipes continues, I thought it was necessary to include a potato recipe. I have to confess, however, that I am not crazy about mashed potatoes, which I know is almost sacrilegious in this country. Mashed potatoes are probably the most popular side for all dishes uniquely American, including fried chicken [...]
Drunken noodle is a Thai noodle dish that is made with wide rice noodles, Thai basil, chilies, onions, and garlic. I first ordered drunken noodles, or Pad Kee Mao, when I was in college. I would frequently get take out from a delicious Thai restaurant called Brown Sugar which is practically on the Boston University [...]
I do call this recipe ‘hot sauce’, but I am not talking about the packets of orange liquid they serve along with your order at Taco Bell. This sauce is chunky and bursting with fresh pepper flavor and acidity, and can be as mild or as insanely hot as you or the crowd you are [...]
Growing up, acorn squash was probably my favorite vegetable. My sister and I used to beg my mom to buy it whenever we spotted it at the grocery store, usually around this time of year. She usually agreed, and when we got it home, she would split the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, [...]
Poblanos are a wonderful introduction to the world of hot peppers. Compare them to bell peppers and they pack a punch, but next to jalapenos and serranos, they are pleasantly mild. They are a beautiful dark green color, and they are the perfect size for stuffing. My first experience with poblano peppers was at El [...]
