Tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Yum. Staple foods if you ask me. The Italians think so too, just ask them. Conveniently, if you use the traditional variety of all the ingredients the dish’s colors match those of the Italian flag. Insalata caprese comes from the Campania region of Italy. Traditionally, the salad is not dressed with […]
I can’t think of anything more delicious than enchiladas verde. The quality of Mexican food in most of the USA is terrible, so we don’t go out for it unless we know somewhere good. That means I cook a lot of Mexican food at home. Totally worth it. I use my carne asada recipe to […]
I use this to marinade pretty much everything that is ‘general purpose’ before it goes on the grill. Use a quart slide-lock ziplock and chop/pour everything into that. I find it helps to sometimes roll the top of the bag down and place the bag into a large tupperware container. That way everything stays open-side […]
Well ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long time since I last posted. Our neighbor Rob sold us a delicious ‘variety pack’ of grass feed beef from his farm in Grandview, WA a couple of days ago, and the first order of business was burgers. More on that later, but I will tell you […]
Oh boy! I’ve been waiting (who knows why) to make this for a long time. Without further ado; carne asada. I ended up doing a ton of research before making this dish. I wanted a reasonably authentic taste (Safeway-brand taco seasoning? No thanks), and it is surprisingly hard to find authentic Mexican recipes. I synthesized […]
Just a quick preview of tonight’s dinner: Carne Asada! I had better take a few more pictures tonight, or this preview may be the only view you get. See you later!
I love the way a recipe can get passed a long, it leads to foods sweeping an entire region (sometimes an entire country) in the blink of an eye. This recipe came to my by way of my little sister, Hannah. Phanaeng curry originates from the Phanaeng Islands which are part of Malaysia. I won’t […]
Once in a while I have a good idea. This pizza was definitely a golden moment for me. When I was younger my family travelled abroad and I ordered this pizza in a lot of different countries. Rarely have I seen it in the United States. I know California Pizza Kitchen makes a Margherita pizza, […]
I hate canned food. It is all well and good when you’re on a boat at sea for 28 days, at that point canned food is even good, but day-to-day it sucks. I love to make pasta with tomato sauce, but I always bought canned tomatos in order to make it. That changed today! I […]
