Potato, Spinach and Goat Cheese Gratin

Do you… 1) Love potatoes? 2) Have goat cheese from Trader Joe’s that needs to be consumed? 3) Need a delicious side dish? 4) Like comfort food? 5) Keep buying too much fall produce (potatoes, onions, etc) at the farmer’s market? If so, I have the perfect dish for you. One of the best outcomes [...]

Slowly Overcoming Recipe Dependence

Confession: I am recipe dependent. I have an incredibly hard time coming up with meal ideas without step-by-step instructions. Inspiration just doesn’t come to me like that. As a result, I’ll probably never make it to Top Chef. Oh well. Anyway, this picture kept catching my eye when I flipped through my recipe binder: I [...]

Kielbasa Pizza and Why I Still Eat Meat

Last night for dinner I made this kielbasa and onion pizza, inspired by a recipe from Everyday with Rachael Ray. I made the following changes to the original recipe: made my own pizza dough (we’re looking for a better recipe though–anyone have one?) used a mix of provolone and swiss cheese (the gruyère was really [...]

Don't Bother: Coconut Curry Chicken

I feel the need to explain what feels to me like the recent influx of Rachael Ray recipe reviews on this blog.  Before I moved, I cut up over a year’s worth of Everyday with Rachael Ray magazines and filed the recipes I actually  wanted to make in my recipe binder.  Now the majority of [...]

Room For Improvement: "Mac 'n' Goat Cheese"

Mixed Sucess: Saturday Dinner

Menu: Rachael Ray’s Sesame and Herbes de Provence Chicken Tenders —  Quick Barley  —  Salad Recipe review: Before writing my own recipe review, before even cooking a recipe, I should probably read the comments and reviews posted on the Food Network recipe page.  But I’m not that smart (or I’m too trusting of Rachael, or [...]

Sunday's Dinner: Potato, Spinach and Artichoke Soup

Potato, Spinach and Artichoke Soup from the February 2008 issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray. Substitutions: Surprisingly, I only made one ingredient substitution for this recipe!  My silly supermarket didn’t have any frozen artichokes (but had more kinds of frozen broccoli than anyone could ever need), so I bought a can of un-marinated, “ready [...]

Rachael Ray's "Turkey Turnovers"

Tonight’s culinary adventure was creating the Turkey Turnovers from the February issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray. Though I’ve been subscribed for a year now, I’ve been pretty bad about actually cooking much out of the magazine.  But I’m trying to change that. I checked out the magazine’s website and it doesn’t look like the [...]
