We have gotten really bad lately about incorporating vegetables into our meals. Sure, sure, we still eat a LOT of salads for lunch but back when we first embarked on our South Beach adventure, there was veg with each and every lunch and dinner. Now, I try and convince myself that merely thinking about making [...]

Roast Chicken and Sweet Potato Wedges
Posted in Chicken, Cooking, Food, Main Course, Photo, Recipe, Side Dishes, tagged Roast Chicken with Sweet Potato Wedges on 21 January 2010 | 4 Comments »
My apologies for the crazy lighting in that picture. In the middle of winter, daylighting photos is a crap shoot. And daylighting when the sun is bouncing off of nearly two feet of snow outside the window is even harder. What’s not hard is Roast Chicken with Sweet Potato Wedges. And they do make being [...]
Squashed
Posted in Cooking, Food, Main Course, Photo, Recipe, Side Dishes, Vegetables, tagged Acorn Squash with Brown Sugar Butter Sauce, Savory Sweet Life on 20 January 2010 | 8 Comments »
It wasn’t until recently that I discovered winter squash. For me, squash was yellow or green and you ate it during the summer. End of story. Like white shoes, there was no squash after Labor Day.
Butternut Risotto
Posted in Cooking, Food, Recipe, Side Dishes, tagged Butternut Squash Risotto, Our Life In The Kitchen on 14 January 2010 | 5 Comments »
For Christmas dinner, I decided to shake things up and made risotto instead of our usual brown rice. I figured if I couldn’t indulge at Christmas then when could I? So I printed out Our Life In The Kitchen’s Butternut Risotto recipe and was all ready to color inside the lines and follow directions. Until [...]
Hug It Out

Some people believe that your astrological sign determines facets of your personality. If you were to ask The Mistah to describe my personality, I’m sure he’d find a polite answer that didn’t involve the phrase ‘crankypants’. But I’ll tell you the truth, I AM a crankypants. I must have been born under the sign of [...]
Sweet and Spicy
Posted in Cooking, Food, Main Course, Photo, Recipe, Side Dishes, tagged Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloins, Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes on 12 January 2010 | 9 Comments »
I’ve been doing more cooking that writing lately, the holidays will do that to you. So I’ve got several recipes to post. While I would prefer to write something witty and special for each of them, I’d rather get them up before next Christmas. The recipes will just have to speak for themselves.
Apricot Glazed Pork [...]
On The Side
Posted in Cooking, Food, Recipe, Side Dishes, tagged Asian Flavored Slaw, Bon Appetit, Sweet Tart on 7 January 2010 | 8 Comments »
I was tempted to include the side dish from our Maple Soy Glazed Salmon in that post but I did not want to jinx the foolproofness of the salmon. Nope, not going to do it. The salmon is foolproof. The Asian slaw, not so much. I had to play around with the vinegar/sugar/oil ratio until [...]
If At First You Don’t Succeed
Posted in Appetizers, Cooking, Food, Photo, Recipe, Side Dishes, tagged Cliche, Cook's Illustrated, Recipe Testing, Sweat Pea Guacamole, Washington Post on 16 December 2009 | 4 Comments »
As trite as it may sound to say ‘try, try again’, that’s exactly what I’m going do. Because the Skillet Roasted Fish that I tested for Cook’s Illustrated before our breakup came close to their goal of being well browned and moist. Except that it wasn’t well browned. It got the moist [...]
Got Stuff?
Posted in Cooking, Food, Recipe, Side Dishes, tagged Bon Appetit, Collections, Risotto with Zucchini and Parmesan on 19 October 2009 | 4 Comments »
People collect all sorts of things. Seriously, have you done a search on eBay for collectibles lately? Rugs, clocks, silverware, baseball cards, dolls, knives, magazines…the list is extensive. I’ll admit that the Cracker Jack Tin that lovesfairies54 was selling was pretty cool but my biggest problem with collecting stuff is that you [...]
Cooking For Don Draper
Posted in Cooking, Fish, Food, Main Course, Photo, Recipe, Side Dishes, tagged Betty Draper, Don Draper, Green Bean Salad with Feta and Lemon, Mad Men, Sporkorfoon, Top Chef Sea Bass, Washington Post on 25 September 2009 | 3 Comments »
As I’ve said before, cooking late at night is risky because I tend not to pay attention to what I’m doing. I’m too busy thinking about getting the cat off of my pillow so I can have visions of sugarplums, or Don Draper, dance through my head.
