What Makes an Egg Good…and What Makes Good Egg Salad

January 27, 2012 | Salads, Sandwiches

I was recently out of the country, having breakfast with some friends, when one of the guys announced to the group that he had thrown his eggs out at breakfast because the yolks were so deeply colored that they were almost orange. He was sure they were radioactive or something. At first I thought I had misunderstood him, but then I realized what was going on. He’s one of those poor souls that has never had a really good farm fresh egg. Read the Rest »

Restaurant Roundup – McCormick & Schmick’s, Julia Blackbird’s, Fuel Cafe

January 25, 2012 | Restaurants

It’s been awhile since I posted about any restaurants I’ve visited here in the Denver area. In fact, if you don’t count a link to my daughter’s post about Frasca for her graduation, it’s been since last August that I posted about a Front Range restaurant. Well, let me remedy that right now.

Spaghetti Squash Casserole with Ricotta and Sundried Tomatoes

January 23, 2012 | One Dish Meals, Side Dishes

Spaghetti squash, that weird winter squash that stands out from it’s peers by shredding into strands when cooked, has been piling up at my house. I thought I had pawned it off on my daughter to eat, but I found several of them in our pantry after she departed for Hawaii. (She’s surfing and playing for 8 months until culinary school starts and is working as a cook at Morimoto Waikiki – how cool is that?!) So in my constant battle to add interest and flavor components to vegetables (aka disguise them), I created this easy casserole. Read the Rest »

Sunday Supper – Roast Beef with Gravy

January 20, 2012 | Meat & Poultry

There is something wonderfully relaxing about cooking on the weekends. It’s not at all like a weekday for me. Weekdays are full of work, appointments, commitments, busyness, and rushing. I love to cook (obviously), but even I often feel stressed about putting food on the table during the week. And that’s just for my husband and me – I know those of you committed to cooking real food for families feel even more pressure. But the weekends – well that’s when we take it more slowly, and that’s when slow cooked meats during the winter make for a perfect Sunday supper. Read the Rest »

The Best Turkey Meatballs

January 18, 2012 | Meat & Poultry

I don’t buy a lot of ground turkey, but I just so happened to have a couple of pounds of it in my freezer from my friend Dallas. He’s the guy I buy my delicious heritage breed turkeys from each year, so I know his meat is flavorful, something that can be a challenge with commercially bred turkeys. But even so, turkey meat is somewhat dry, and to make a moist turkey meatball takes a little finesse. In fact, I also think it needs Read the Rest »

Pine Nut Cookies

January 16, 2012 | Desserts

Last weekend a friend’s teen daughter spent some time with me cooking and photographing for my blog. She’s interested in the food photography aspect of blogging and has taken some cooking lessons with me in the past. I’m also taking her to Italy next summer on a family trip with her mom, aunts, cousin and grandmother. I love sharing my passions with kids – whether that’s Read the Rest »
