hi! amazing quick weeknight pasta — chop up 3-4 big garlic cloves, half a white onion. drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. toss all in a sauce pan with some olive oil and saute. add in a heaping spoonful of chili garlic paste, some liquid smoke, a healthy glug of maple syrup, a squeeze of lemon and a big spoonful of tahini. salt and pep to taste, mix well in the pan and turn the heat up and let it get toasty + start to get crispy bits - keep a spatula handy to toss regularly. meanwhile cook your fave pasta. season it up however you want — (i added some crushed aleppo chili, orange zest, green onion, fennel, and coriander.) toss it all into your pasta. then sauté real quick a biiiig handful of spinach or your favorite green to mix in. toss all together and use some good olive oil to drizzle if it’s a bit dry. delicious and comes together in 20 w/ mostly pantry items!!!

Balti Chicken - The Daring Gourmet

Another banger from Daring Gourmet! I make their teriyaki tofu all the time. This was was also very simple but packed with flavor. The only alteration I made was cutting the sugar a bit (since I also used sweetened shredded coconut).

I made some great pinto beans for dinner tonight! I don't normally make time for cooking dry beans so I used canned, and this still turned out amazing.

sauté diced onion, celery, and green bell pepper (with a pinch of salt) until it just starts to brown, then add minced garlic and cook for a minute or so longer.

add drained and rinsed pinto beans and enough chicken broth to cover them (I used 1.5 cups water and 1 15 oz can of beans), plus a bay leaf. simmer for a while, I'm guessing I cooked these for ~30 min.

remove the bay leaf and puree about half of the beans with an immersion blender. taste for salt. I added some smoked paprika for extra flavor, but it's optional!

Drop the pumpkin pie recipe?

was checking my inbox and realized i never answered this. well now it's thanksgiving again so here it is. it's much lighter than a normal pumpkin pie! pumpkin pie for grownups...there's a good amount of booze that does not get cooked off. which is what makes it so tasty. (also you gotta be okay with uncooked egg whites so i guess use pasteurized egg whites if you're really worried though i've never gotten sick from it in 26 years)

Merigold Tomatoes: A Unique Delta Dish — Grab the Corkscrew

It was a recipe hunt. I found myself craving a dish that Deltans typically call “Merigold Tomatoes,” a simple tomato dressing with cheddar c

I've been searching for a recipe for a delightful tomato dish I had in rural Mississippi ages ago, and this might actually be it! Still need to test the recipe... stay tuned 🤞

It looks like this URL is on its way out, and sadly it seemed like a very close approximation of the original dish. Here are some archived links of living URLs for the "same" recipe:

Pasta all'amatriciana:

In a deep, heavy bottom pot, saute diced pancetta or bacon (or guanciale if you can find it) over medium heat until fat is rendered and meat is crispy.

Remove meat from pan and set aside on a plate with paper towels. Leave the fat in the pan.

Add diced onion to the bacon fat with a bit of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Saute about 5 mins, until soft. Don't let the onion brown.

Before the onion is done cooking, add a big splash of dry white wine and let it bubble down before the next step.

Add a 28 oz. can of whole tomatoes (drained) to the pan. Roughly chop up the tomatoes in the pan. Turn the heat down to simmer until the texture is saucy, about 20-30 min.

Cook pasta (bucatini or something else long like spaghetti/fettuccine/tagliatelle) in salted water until al dente. Don't overcook!

When the sauce is done, you can puree it with an immersion blender for smoother texture. Then add the bacon back in along with the cooked noodles and cook while stirring for less than a minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 c. of grated pecorino, romano, or parmesan cheese.

Kale, Apple & Goat Cheese Salad with Granola “Croutons”

Nutty granola croutons complete this salad made with massaged raw kale, crisp chopped apple, and crumbled goat cheese tossed in a tangy lemo

I made this salad over the weekend and it was delicious!

I didn't have the right ingredients for the granola, so I want to try making it another time. Instead, I made the candied pecans/seeds from this recipe that I've made a lot.

The lemon dressing was delicious and complimented the apples and goat cheese well!

last night, I made these tofu noodle bowls inspired by last week's special at one of my fave local bars/restaurants:

I had it over the weekend and it gave my partner food fomo lol

I used this recipe for teriyaki tofu that I make all the time, put it on vermicelli noodles, and topped it with purple cabbage, red pepper, thai basil, cilantro, salad greens, peanuts, and sesame seeds. for the sauce, I used pre-made peanut sauce mixed with chili crisp. tbh the chili crisp I have is not mind blowing and the peanut sauce was sub par. I'd definitely made it from scratch next time.

all in all, this was a super easy and tasty meal!
