If there is one word that is rarely associated with the food I cook it would be vegan. As a lover of all things meat, cheese, and dairy, I struggle not to use butter in everything. That said, I’m trying … Continue reading
Since I don’t really use air conditioning, I spend a lot of time figuring out meals that taste just as good, if not better, at room temp then they do warm. Being able to happily eat a dinner that doesn’t … Continue reading

I’ve been drowning in snow and a bowl of soup every night has become my favorite part of the night. A side effect of this, and an aversion to canned soup, has resulted in a lot of soup-making. I also don’t like store-bought stocks and broths for soup, preferring to use them in recipes where they aren’t supposed to be the star, and so stock making is an exciting new addition to my repertoire!
This soup is built on a delicious stock made from beef and pork bones. It’s hearty, rich, and absolutely delicious. Rather than the broth being the mechanism for delivery of “the good stuff,” this stock is, in my opinion, the best part of the entire dish. The black beans, ham, and kale round out the soup making it a complete meal that gets more and more delicious as it sits in your fridge.
I suggest making a big pot and eating it all week!

As an avid carnivore, I make a concerted effort to not only eat meat every day. This recipe, modified from Bon Appétit, is a fantastic vegetable-focused dish that I use as a main or as a side with left over chicken, … Continue reading
I’ve been on a butternut squash and browned butter kick lately. Perhaps it is because it’s a delicious combo, but it’s probably because it’s a really inexpensive delicious combo. Squash is a very versatile fall and winter veggie that I … Continue reading
After Thanksgiving I go into an undeniable turkey and carb coma. Between potatoes, biscuits, meat, and pie, it’s all a little overwhelming. Cauliflower puree is a great way to lighten up the leftovers. It goes great with all of the … Continue reading
If you’ve been to NYC you’ve seen the halal food carts that park on just about every street corner and serve up a variety of kabobs, gyros, rice concoctions, and mystery combo meals. You’ve also probably eaten at one of … Continue reading
