Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic


I know what you're thinking and no, I did not count the cloves of garlic. This recipe would probably be more accurately called chicken with a whole heckuvalotta garlic. Regardless of what the recipe is called, it's very tasty, easy to prepare, and basically, a one-pot recipe. This is just the type of recipe that I love!

Corned Beef with Cabbage Gratin


I hope that everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day weekend! It was an amazing weekend here in Chicago, weather-wise. It felt like summer! I felt like grilling more than simmering a big hunk of corned beef but it had to be done. I didn't grow up eating a traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner so I thought I'd take a few liberties with this meal. I'm probably one of the few people who actually enjoys boiled cabbage but my family definitely does not. So I decided to come up with a way to make the cabbage more appetizing to my family. What if I make it creamy and cheesy? Cabbage gratin!

Coconut curry with shrimp, tofu, broccoli

First, and foremost, I want to say that this recipe is inspired by Thai cuisine rather than being an authentic recreation of a Thai dish. Thai food is something I love to eat but I know little about cooking. I know some but hardly enough to feel comfortable blogging about an authentic Thai dish. For authentic Thai cooking blog, you should check out SheSimmers and Mananya Cooks. That's where you'll find the good stuff!

This recipe was, more or less, an improvisation. I was planning to make a basic stir-fry with these ingredients. However, that just seemed so uninteresting for this particular evening.

Chicken and dumplings


I was tempted to not post this one at all because I didn't think the picture was very good. However, it did taste really good and when you make this it will look better in real life! I also wanted to post this one because I wanted to stress how much better your food will taste if you use homemade chicken stock versus anything that comes in a can or a box at the store.

Turkey meatloaf


After a couple days of meals dominated fast food and convenience food, I always crave something homemade and wholesome. I don't want to go off the deep end and go raw food diet or anything like that but I know that something simple, scratch-made and balanced would hit the spot. I can think of few things better-suited to filling this mission than the venerable meatloaf. To lighten it up a bit, I decided to go with turkey meatloaf. Served up with roasted broccoli, roasted sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce to round out the meal, it was exactly what I was looking for.
