Delicious and Spicy Homemade Hot Sauce Recipe
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 [...]
Last of the Summer Squash! Pasta Primavera with Squash, Kale, Almonds and Marscapone
Summer has come and gone and as usual, I’m wishing for more of the nice weather and great fresh, simple ingredients and recipes. Fall season is here though, and with it brings the awesome earthy, organic flavors of squash, apples and mushrooms. I gotta say, it might be my favorite season of the food calendar. [...]
TFD’s California Turkey Burger with Fried Onions and Butternut Squash Chips
This one is for Aimee, as since our relationship began, beef hasn’t really been on the menu much in our house. For ecological reasons, Aimee doesn’t eat cow – a stance that I respect and admire, though one that does have me missing a good steak every now and then. In any case, we use [...]
Vegetarian Eggplant Panini with Sweet Eggplant Pesto and Garlic Aioli
One of our favorite things to get for take-out in the Boston, Cambridge area is the eggplant panini and Insalata salad from the City Girl Cafe in Inman Square Cambridge. The sandwich is as divine as it is simple: roasted eggplant with some homemade garlic aioli, simple field greens and some fresh mozzarella. Put it [...]
Summer Corn and Squash Stuffed Pablanos with Cumin Crema
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 [...]
Re-Creating Restaurants: Rendezvous’ Delicious Bluefish Cakes with Spicy Remoulade
After Aimee and I had an awesome dinner experience at Rendezvous in Central Square a couple weeks ago, I wanted to come home and try my hand at re-creating a great dish that we sampled. For me, that night was really good all around, but the one dish that stuck out in my mind was [...]
Another Delicious Summer Salad: Carrot, Corn and Avocado Slaw
Here’s another simple salad that I absolutely love to put together, and it’s especially convenient to make now in the midst of our kitchen remodeling project. The carrots combine with sweet summer corn (perfect and in season right now!) and creamy avocado to make a great combination of flavor. Paired with some delicious creamy lemon [...]
It’s BLT Season
Finally. BLT season is here! Easily one of my favorite food seasons (along with stone fruit season, green garlic season, etc…). I freely admit that for the last four days I have eaten a BLT at least twice a day. Now obviously, most people can figure out how to make a BLT. I thought I [...]
Heart-Warming Homemade Falafel Sandwiches with Homemade Tahini
I’ve always lived in a do-it-yourself household and prefer to cook most meals for the convenience factor (and, as my husband would point out, because I’m picky about where my food comes from, I try to deny this because I don’t want to seem like a snob but have to admit that the more I [...]
Summer Spaghetti and Meatballs Part II: Turkey and Pork Meatballs
This is part 2 of a 2 part summer spaghetti and meatballs post. To check out part 1 (Simple Tomato Fennel Sauce), click here. A long time ago, I made up the decision to give up eating beef and, consequently, I didn’t eat meatballs for many years. About a year ago, I saw a woman [...]
