grilled chicken and vegetables: seve’s summer spectacular

Sunday, May 4, 2008

A’s dad (Saverio, Ver, Sev, or Seve) has perfected a method for grilling vegetables in the summer: sprayed with olive oil and worcestershire sauce. Nearly every night in the summer he grills up vidalia onions, red peppers, zucchini, and more - it’s really a treat. Since I finally broke down and bought a [...]

Why have I never heard of this before? A rich syrupy balsamic sauce ready in 15 minutes, served over perfectly cooked salmon fillets? Healthy, delicious, and I can make it in 30 minutes - my dream recipe. I found this in Gourmet magazine (April 2008), and hung on to it because I’ve [...]

Roasting a whole chicken is a satisfying project. It’s one of the simplest foods, but it takes a little time (about 2 hours overall, half of which is just waiting while the chicken soaks in brine). It definitely tastes better than any whole roast chicken you can buy, and you can use the [...]

I know this is very basic, but it’s so useful to me to have a good technique for roasting chicken that can be used in any dish (like enchiladas, or even just on top of salads) that I figured I’d share… Again, I keep noticing that there are pre-packaged cooked chicken strips, and I’m [...]

Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables ever, and this is my favorite way to prepare them. Grocery list: just green beans, an apple, and handful of slivered or sliced almonds. Wash the green beans and snap the ends. Cube the apple. Heat olive oil over med-high heat in a large pan. [...]

healthy-ish meatloaf and rosemary roasted potatoes

Meatloaf is one of those things that I don’t follow a recipe for, and I don’t necessarily make it the same way every time. Whenever I see a new meatloaf recipe, I may incorporate some of the ingredients the next time I make it. The basic foundation is meat + something bread-y + eggs + [...]
