Chicken Swiss Gnocchi Bake
October 17, 2019I never knew my grandmother but by all accounts she was an astounding cook – able to take the most random ingredients (and often very few – they were quite poor) and make mouth-watering, incredibly flavorful, satisfying dishes. I claim no such culinary genius – if only! But once in a while I can do a pale imitation. A fleeting culinary muse, perhaps? Who knows… it’s a bit thrilling when it happens, though. This dish, on the other hand, was inspired by two very deep emotions. 1. I had no money that day.2. I could have gone to the store…
Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms
Since I forgot to do a photo shoot of the completed dish, and since the majority of my current viewership of this blog is from Vimeo or Patreon traffic; we have here a dads-gone-mild still from the bonus Patreon-only video…
Affordable Meals, boneless skinless chicken thighs, Chicken, Comfort Food, For Cheese Lovers, Low FodmapCheesy Chicken Thigh and Potato Bake
I wanted to bring a cookbook to work with me last Sunday because my phone charging cable is under-performing, so I needed other diversions. I didn’t want to bring something that would look like a cookbook, since my breaks are…
Italian Stew with Pasta
Do you ever look at someone’s sad excuse for a recipe and laugh? I’m pretty sure some of these people do not even own a spice drawer/cabinet. Sometimes I like to read crap recipes out loud because we both get…
Baked Tilapia Tacos with Lime Crema
There’s an old song with a great message called “Make Someone Happy”. There is probably no better way to do that than to hand someone a taco. You literally could just sub the word taco into that song: “Make someone…
Stuffed Chicken Special
Worst picture ever, I know. It was 11:30 pm and I might have had a libation or two. Until I make it again you’ll just have to imagine ooey gooey cheese, fun bright colors from the sweet red peppers and…
Low Fodmap Pasta Sauce
The chicken & spinach lasagna you see in the picture was made using a batch of this sauce. I woke up in the same shirt I was wearing when I ate it. Not a drop on it! I’m calling miracle.…
Rum Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies
Because we can. Earlier, as I lay in bed thinking what would be better than chocolate chip cookies… Obviously the answer was almond – that was a no-brainer. Than I continued ruminating – what would be better than almond chocolate…
Low Fodmap Mexican Rice
Life can be deceptively mundane, sometimes; which is why we need tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, burritos and tostadas in our lives. I spent part of my morning picking mealybugs off of an African daisy with tweezers and dropping them in a…
Tuna Puttanesca
I have a secret. This version takes a little longer but comes out even better than my “Tuna Puttanesca In a Snap” recipe, which is the normal approach and takes 10 minutes less. I decided to rethink this recipe with…
Monterey Jack Chicken and Spaghetti Bake
Is that enough cheese? If you’re looking for comfort food to eat away your feelings without dying – look no further. It’s a bit decadent, it’s a bit naughty… but not too much. Plenty of ooey gooey creaminess and so…
