Adventures in cooking and baking.
This tomato, kidney bean, and roast beef chili soup is perfect for using leftover roast beef or brisket.
The first time I made this Tomato, Kidney Bean, and Roast Beef Chili Soup because I had some leftover roast beef, and I wanted something to go with these wonderful savory corn muffins.
These chicken taquitos are stuffed with a mixture of shredded rotisserie chicken, ricotta cheese, cheddar cheese, and green chilis and then baked until crispy and ready for dipping.
I have always loved taquitos, but I've never made them at home because they typically require deep frying.
This chicken teriyaki rice bowl dish is an easy, simple, and flavorful dinner that comes together in less than an hour.
This chicken teriyaki rice dish is made with a "from scratch" glaze of sake, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger. It's very light, and not syrupy at all.
This slow cooker beef and potato stew is about as easy and tasty as it gets.
You don't have to brown the meat. You don't have to chop or peel the potatoes, and you don't have to chop any onions. The secret ingredient is condensed French onion soup, which melds with the juices of the meat as it slow cooks to produce an amazing gravy.
This apple sour cream cake includes fresh apples tossed in sugar and spices and baked into a moist cake flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and apple cider.
The cake is topped with an apple glaze, although it is moist enough on its own, making it a lovely breakfast cake.
Chocolate brigadeiros are the unofficial national candies of Brazil. They combine the elegance of truffles with the chewiness of chocolate fudge. Evidently, in Brazil, you can't have a birthday party or a wedding with out serving brigadeiros.
In Brazil, they are sold both in fancy candy stores and also as a street food. Typically, they are rolled in chocolate sprinkles after shaping, but you can coat them in colorful sprinkles, finely chopped nuts, or even cocoa powder like truffles.
This cold sesame noodle recipe is a tasty version of the Chinese-American restaurant cold sesame noodles sold in New York City's Chinatown starting in the 1960s.
These sweet and savory cold noodles will call your name late at night from the refrigerator when the hunger pangs strike. If you make these, you may find yourself grabbing a few noodles from the bowl and dropping them into your mouth when no one is looking.
