There is a neighborhood lunch shop not far from where I live that serves up a pretty tasty deli sandwich which I treat myself to every now and then. And possibly my favorite part? It is always served on a warm and fairly thin miniature focaccia loaf. And if they can do it, then I […]
Fennel, Celery, And Apple Salad
Prior to late last year, I had never bought fennel myself. I’ve had it in restaurants, even on purpose sometimes, but had never had to pick a bulb out for home consumption, and had certainly never made a raw salad out of fennel. But that all changed after being invited to a friend’s house for […]
Homemade Mashed Potatoes
There is not a lot to write about homemade mashed potatoes so I imagine this will be a pretty short post. They are delicious and have entirely too much saturated fat to be included in my regular rotation of dinner sides, but for Thanksgiving or other celebrations or big family dinners? Yes please. Granted this […]
Fresh Baguettes At Home
As I mentioned in my recent croissants post I had the good fortune recently to learn a few solid keeper bread recipes from the good folks at The King Arthur Baking School, and French baguettes was one of my favorites to learn! I was scared heading into the video class that this was going to […]
Fresh Croissants At Home
Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a 4-day online bread baking class hosted by the King Arthur Baking School and learned how to make several different kinds of breads, many of which I will be making again and adding to my repertoire. One or two I doubt I will […]
Chicken Souvlaki In A Bowl
We live about five or six blocks from the neighborhood Greek restaurant, and I’d say we are pretty regular customers. But sometimes I’m in the mood to eat Greek food, but I’m not interested in dining in a restaurant or even carryout. So I guess that means that if my wife and I want to […]
Thai-Style Basil Chicken
For years I have assumed that Thai Basil Chicken was too complicated a dish to make at home. Especially for me, someone with zero experience with Thai cuisine. But after finding a local Thai restaurant in a food hall in Atlanta, and ordering a delicious bowl of Thai Basil Chicken, I noticed that there really […]
Nashville Hot Chicken
It’s been a few years now since I first posted my fried chicken recipe, which I usually cook in coconut oil, but I wanted to start fresh with an updated recipe for a spicy Nashville hot chicken recipe, cooked in either coconut oil or avocado oil. **Don’t care about story time? Go straight to the […]
Brussels Sprouts Coleslaw
Roasting vegetables is great and can accommodate all sorts of options, but sometimes I’m not in the mood for cooked vegetables and would prefer something a little lighter. Which is why I started looking around for another recipe similar to my Tomato Cucumber Salad recipe, which is light, cold and simply a tasty combo of […]
Lasagna With Fresh Einkorn Flour Pasta
I’m a big fan of homemade pasta, especially my own recipe using Einkorn flour, and have found quite a few ways to include fresh pasta in my diet on a somewhat regular basis, without going overboard. But up until now I had never tried to make my own lasagna using fresh Einkorn flour pasta. As […]
