I don’t often think of blogging about food that I cook for clients because the truth of the matter is that I didn’t think people would be interested. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Every pic I’ve posted lately about “client food” has been met with a one-word response: recipe?

Espresso Bourbon Steak & Grilled Sweet Potatoes

July 31, 2017

Steak sizzling away on a hot grill is my kryptonite. It will (and has) stopped me dead in my tracks, prompting me to fill my nostrils with that delicious aroma. Brush on a simple espresso and bourbon glaze and you have just upped your grill game exponentially.

Cheese Stuffed Queso Fundido Chicken

July 10, 2017

Queso Fundido is one of my favorite splurge foods when we go out. It is gooey, melted cheese with caramelized onions and strips of roasted poblano peppers. Queso Fundido is literally “melted cheese” and has many variations, but my favorite is the traditional onions and poblano peppers. We eat chicken a few times a week and I’m always thinking of ways to change up the rotation. This dish combines a dinner staple with a restaurant favorite.

Pork Burger with Hatch Chiles

May 2, 2017

It’s grilling season again and I want to share this pork burger recipe with you! If you’ve been around here awhile, you know my deep-seated love for all things pork and that love extends to pork burgers. I wanted to create something that reminded me of pork tacos. It had to have some heat, a vinegary bite from pickles, and the creaminess of avocado that you find it good tacos. It has all that and mixed with the juicy pork burger, it is absolutely delicious. I think I nailed it.

Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Sheet Pan Supper

February 28, 2017

Sheet Pan Supper – Chicken and vegetables roasted all together on one pan for a super easy dinner with minimal cleanup. Meals like this are a lifesaver during hectic evenings when you need to get dinner on the table without a lot of effort.

Also known as “clean out the fridge dinners” around here. You know how it goes, you’re running around trying to get everything done, making sure you have clean clothes, the dog is staring at you like “Um, hello… Could I get some food down here too?”. You open the fridge to find some carrots, peppers and maybe a few other veggies. Onions, potatoes and tomatoes are always on hand, so you are halfway home. If you don’t eat meat, or if it’s a “meatless Monday”, you’re done. Otherwise, a couple of chicken breasts thrown on with the veggies and some seasoning makes this a slam dunk in record time. The most time consuming part of this is chopping the vegetables. If I know that I’m facing a busy week, I chop veggies ahead of time and store them in the fridge.

Roasted Red Flannel Hash with Country Sausage

December 13, 2016

This week, we have a very special guest post! You all know her as Pastry Chef Online, but she is my “Sissy”. She is like family to me. If I could choose a sister, it would be her. We met years ago and it was an instant kinship. She is a talented pastry chef, a great friend and a generous, kind and compassionate person. I am lucky to call her friend and we are all lucky that she has made us Red Flannel Hash with Country Sausage!

Picadillo (Cuban-Style Hash)

November 12, 2016

Picadillo is Spanish for “hash” (or “mince”). Essentially, this is a Cuban version of the good old American mélange, eaten on its own or used as a filling for empanadas. Spanish influences, specifically Andalusian, are obvious due to the addition of olives and raisins. Picadillo is often served topped with hard-cooked or fried eggs and is usually accompanied by fried plantains.

A little bit sweet, with garlic and ginger, and as spicy you’d like it, this fragrant, saucy chicken dish is made in a slow cooker. It’s super simple and requires very little hands-on time. Serve over rice with a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Italian Sausage Burger with Peppers

May 6, 2016

It’s the quintessential Brooklyn street fair food. There are food trucks at every single fair or festival selling that spicy sweet mix of sausage, peppers and onions. The scent of it wafting through the air brings back memories of walking through booths of games, cotton candy vendors and frozen lemonade stands. That is the inspiration for my sausage burger with peppers and onions.

When I realized that after 5 years of doing this blog, I didn’t have a single burger recipe on here, well… you can imagine my dismay. I have failed. In an attempt to make it up to you, I made a burger with the flavors of Italian sausage and peppers.

NoLa

February 19, 2015

A few months ago, The Girl and I went to New Orleans for a little getaway. As a properly organized food person, I had a list (a very long list) of places to eat. That was pretty much my agenda. Sure, there are tons of things to do in New Orleans and we did a few of them, but my main objective was food. How could it not be?

So, our itinerary pretty much looked like this Every Single Day (swapping out restaurants, of course):

breakfast : Café du Monde
lunch: Antoine’s
dinner: Pesche

Oh, did I mention it was restaurant week when we were there?! Yeah, that’s like putting a fat kid in a candy store and telling him to only pick 3 things. Not likely…
