Sweet and Sour Pork
Sometimes everyone needs to be rescued by Jamie Oliver.
The Other Side of the Mediterranean Meatballs
The thing that I love most about living in Europe is the accessibility to the rest of the world. In the States, I was pretty isolated from every other country except Mexico and the Northern US, otherwise known as Canada. But, living in Germany, I can drive an hour and be in France, hop on [...]
Pimenton Potato Salad
Yes, it’s true. Pimenton isn’t the spice that I use the most. I would say that cumin probably takes the cake on that one. But, it is certainly the spice I try to use the most. I’m always trying to come up with some new dish that I can sneak it [...]
Asian Mango Salsa
Sometimes it’s the smallest things that can snap us back into reality, reminding us what the true source of joy is in our lives. For me, it was simply watching My Soldier getting his uniform ready for the following morning.
For the last three weeks, he has been on block leave and we have been [...]
The Final Day of My Chicken Experiment – Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Spinach Curry
Oh, the final day. So many adventures we’ve had in the kitchen, my chicken friend. We’ve laughed. We’ve cried.
We’ve had some good times, but our journey ends here -
With you in a steamy, hot bowl of spicy coconut-y goodness.
Day Three of My Chicken Experiment- Cabbage Potato Soup
In true German style, I used the veggies that abound in this area to make my third meal from the chicken.
Day Two of My Chicken Experiment- Chickpea Quinoa Chicken Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing
Ah, day two.
Part of my goal with this experiment is to do very different preparations of chicken. I figure if I have to eat chicken everyday for a couple of days, I want some variety, ya know?
Day One of My Chicken Experiment – Rosemary Roasted Chicken
One of the unfortunate realities of marrying a man in the military is that as soon as you get used to him being around, he has to leave again. Such is the case for me right now. On the 2nd of this month (less than one month after arriving in Germany), My Soldier [...]
Roasted Garlic Baba Ganoush
Holy Abalone! I’m back. Yes, I know. I know. It’s been a ridiculous amount of time since I’ve posted. But, I have a good excuse this time, I promise. You see, I’ve been out and about, cooking up a storm for not just one, but two full time clients.
And, I [...]
Cabbage Salad with Young Coconut Noodles and Crystallized Ginger
This salad was a beautiful, perfect combination of crunch from the veggies and soft suppleness of young coconut flesh. The flavors melded smoothly with the sweetness of the ginger and maple and the tang of the vinegars. The umeboshi plum vinegar provided a lovely splash of saltiness, and there with a subtle kick with the last minute addition of chili garlic sauce.
