Winter Vegetable Soup

February 12, 2020

It’s winter and that means comfort food. But, we’re also trying to eat a little healthier. We’re making an effort to eat more vegetables because we want to get more bang for our buck in the nutrition department. This winter vegetable soup is nearly fat free, it’s low in calories and contains a ton of vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Speaking of healthy comfort food, this vegan vegetable soup would be perfect for cold winter evenings. It doesn’t hurt that the broth is the color of sunshine; which is what we need on chilly, gray days.

How to Make Melting Potatoes with Garlic and Herbs

September 24, 2019

Melting potatoes are one of the easiest, most delicious ways to get a lot of bang for your buck for a quick side dish. The oven does the majority of the work for you, all you have to do is flip them a couple of times. That tiny bit of effort is rewarded with the most perfectly roasted potato dish to ever grace your dinner table. I love serving these with this Beef Tenderloin Roast for special occasions.

This is the best of both worlds as far as potatoes go. The outside is golden and incredibly crispy, while the inside remains tender and fluffy.

Pan seared corvina with sliced potatoes and a tomato coconut curry sauce make a great midweek meal.

Curry seems to be one of those flavors that people feel very strongly about. They either love it or they hate it, there’s not much middle ground. I’m in the “love it” camp. Just the smell of curry makes my heart flutter.

A long, long time ago in a city far, far away when I was in culinary school, we would wander the streets of NYC and more often than not we ended up in an area of Manhattan that had lots of spice shops and Indian restaurants. I think that’s where my love of curry was born.

Sausage and Potato Breakfast Casserole

May 9, 2017

A breakfast casserole is the perfect way to handle holidays. Whether it’s Mother’s Day, Christmas, Easter or even a family reunion weekend, it is the best bang for your buck. You can feed a crowd without standing in front of the stove for hours and the best part – it can be made ahead.

This last part is what seals the deal for me – getting everything prepared beforehand so you can simply slide it into the oven and go visit with your people.

I really enjoy making a great spread and sitting around the table for a couple of hours while sipping on coffee and picking on the bountiful feast in front of me. Mother’s Day is next weekend and if I were able to spend it with my Mom, this is what I’d make for her. If you would like to solidify your position as her “favorite”, make this for her and you’ll have it in the bag for good.

Crash & Burn Smashed Potatoes

January 10, 2017

These smashed potatoes are roasted until super crispy then bathed in a spicy cinnamon malt vinegar sauce. Hence, the name Crash & Burn Potatoes. They have a crispy outside and a tender, fluffy inside. The flavor is amazing and just spicy enough without feeling like a 5 alarm fire with your mouth. Like my roasted fingerlings with shishito peppers, they have just a bit of heat.

If you are looking for a new way to serve potatoes, this is it! I made these smashed potatoes a few days ago with the intention of saving them for dinner that night. I have news for you, they didn’t survive the afternoon. We ate a few and then we ate more. We even ate them cold because they were delicious. Normally, the phrase “crash & burn” has a negative connotation to it, but not in this case.

Lobster on Thick Cut Idaho®Potato Chips with Spicy Saffron Aioli

December 6, 2016

Dress up your favorite Idaho® Potatoes with lobster and saffron aioli for a special holiday appetizer! Salty, crunchy thick-cut chips are a sturdy base for buttery lobster tail. Topped with a spicy saffron aioli and chives, it makes an elegant nibble for any party. This post is sponsored by Idaho® Potatoes. All opinions are my own.

The holiday season is upon us, which means HOLIDAY PARTIES! It’s a special time of year, so I don’t feel guilty about a little splurge. The end of one year, the beginning of a new one… It’s a time to celebrate with friends and family and it’s a time to pull out all the tricks and SHINE! I make one or two special appetizers for parties and lobster on thick-cut potato chips is no slouch. The saffron aioli elevates it to “high falootin’ status” and this appetizer is always the first to disappear. It looks much fussier than it actually is, everything except the chips can be made in the morning and set aside in the refrigerator for later. This is key when you have lots to do before guests arrive.
