1 rotisserie chicken, 2 dinners: greek salad

Monday, May 25, 2009

You can either call this a lame post (it’s not a recipe), or it might be helpful since it’s a good emergency meal idea to keep in the back of your mind next time you don’t have time to cook. Either way, it’s just something that we’ve been doing a lot of lately and [...]

butternut squash and radicchio pappardelle

Winter squash is going to be done soon at the farmer’s market, so I want to enjoy while it’s still available (especially when it’s still $1/lb!). I’ve made butternut squash with risotto, and a couple different ways with pasta (Jamie Oliver’s rotolo and ravioli). It almost always is paired with sage - granted, [...]

Like a lot of people, I’m going to try and cut back on Christmas gift spending this year. One of the best ways to show people you love them without spending a fortune is to cook treats for them (you know, you don’t really love someone unless you fatten them up a little - [...]

This recipe meets several requirements for the “weekday rotation” in my house: fast (literally 30 minutes start to finish, less if you buy a rotisserie chicken), and lots of protein. If I’m making pasta, I’ve got to sneak in as much as possible — did you know part-skim ricotta is a very lean form [...]

A recipe for “pappardelle with porcini and pistachios” was recently featured in Food & Wine magazine, from the chef at Cru restaurant in NYC. I decided I wanted to try it, but needed to add roast chicken (if I want to make pasta at home, it is absolutely mandatory that I find a way [...]
