This is my new go-to favorite, easy peasy recipe (+ Creamy, Crunchy Miso Slaw). All together, the fresh and creamy slaw and the sweet and salty burger, has so much flavor with so little time and clean up involved. Ingredients ~1.25 lb ground chicken 1/4 c hoisin sauce 3 green onions, finely chopped salt, to…

Most of the recipes I write and make require a certain set of standards to be posted on this website. I don’t mean like poo-don’t-stink, nose-in-the-air standards, but quite the opposite. It must be tasty above all else of course, but also fast, cheap, and/or easy. Those standards are usually all related, but if I…

One of the things I did before the bebe was born was plop myself in the kitchen, literally barefoot and pregnant, and knock out a few meals to put in the freezer. I’ve eaten this one so often I decided to make it again. I like to portion this out into containers, and toss them in the…

I know. You’re like, “You’ve been gone for a year and all you have for me is this incredibly frumpy meatball recipe?” I feel you. But let me say, I’m in my (hopefully) last few weeks of being pregnant (It’s our first. It’s a girl. Yes, I’ll write more about this.) and went DEFCON 2 in the…

I love barbacoa, but I usually don’t (a.k.a. never) have the foresight to stick a huge hunk of meat in the crock pot before I think, “Mannnnn, barbacoa sounds soooo good right now.” Yeah I could go to Chipotle and pick something up, but that would also mean I would need to have showered and…

I hate when bloggers who’ve neglected their websites do their “comeback” post and write the words “sorry”. I’ve completely ignored this website for about 5 weeks and I’m not sorry at all. Lots of stuff happened in that 5 weeks. The number one biggest, life changing occurrence is that we’re jobless. We’ve left our CrossFit gym (long…

Sirloin, the faux-filet it may be, but I wanted to inject some real flavor–beyond what just marinating could ever do. So I faux-pastrami’d the faux-filets. Pastrami usually involves a week of curing or a few days of wet brining + a handful of hours babysitting in the oven. Ain’t nobody got time for that. So…

By no means glamourous, unrolled cabbage casserole may take a long time to get “dressed” but it makes up for what it lacks in beauty with its taste. Clean up boils down to one pot of water and a saute pan. Plus, you’ll eat off this for days on end. Ingredients 1 small head green…

Essentially, this recipe is just a homemade hoison sauce kicked up to your personal level of preferred spiciness, with the addition of red pepper flakes and/or sriracha or chili garlic sauce. I wanted a combo of General Tso & Cashew chicken, but yeah, there are no cashews anywhere to be seen in the pic because…I…

A sort of Italian spin on a classic beef stew. I tossed in some basalmic vinegar in place of red wine and let some fresh orange & rosemary infuse into the tomatoey broth. Super yummy, plus… this makes super lots. Ingredients 5 lb chuck roast 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 large yellow onion, finely diced…

Jerk anything requires a butt-load of ingredients. The list below looks exhaustive, I know, but it really is easy and it’s likely you have most of this stuff lingering about in the crevices of your spice cabinet, you just have to take the time to dig it out. You could always go out and buy a pre-made…

…and once you’ve downed the buco, don’t forget to polish off the marrow for dessert. Ingredients tallow 4 beef shanks 2 c beef stock 2 T fresh ginger 1 T fresh garlic 1/4 c coconut sugar or brown sugar 1/4 c coconut aminos or gluten free soy sauce 1 t sesame oil 1/2 t fish…

Rarely do we partake in the quick cooking, whole muscle meat of animals. I find it incredibly difficult to justify a cost of $14-$20 per pound for anything. So that’s why we let what’s on sale dictate what we eat (Aren’t you happy to see something other than ground beef or sausage?). Thank goodness for…

Sometimes you just want a stupid easy, but stupid tasty meal. Ingredients ~2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1/3 c Dijon mustard (my absolute favorite is Maille (I eat this stuff out of the jar with a spoon)) 3 T Grade B (it’s cheaper than A) Maple Syrup 1 stem fresh rosemary, chopped Method In a…

To me, turkey (and most non-duck poultry) is pretty boring. I rant about this often, and maybe you’ve noticed I don’t cook it very often, because in my world: cow beats chicken & pig beats cow. Every. Time. Period. But today, I think I’ve finally got a cheater’s fix to making, at least turkey legs,…

[updated from 6/10/2010] I’m not gonna lie, this meal in more finicky than what I usually like to cook. It messes up more than 1 pan and requires that you pay attention to it while it’s cooking. It’s what I imagine having a child would be like. I get it though…you gotta put up with…
