Lovely eggplants were one of the finds at the farmer’s market this week. As many of you probably know, eggplant is great at soaking up flavors. Teriyaki sauce has been on my mind recently, and I figured eggplant would be the perfect way to highlight it. 3 small globe eggplants (3/4 pound total), de-stemmed and [...]

You are perhaps wondering how pickled turnips and lentil salad fit together. When we first moved back to St. Louis, we went with Mike’s parents to a nearby Lebanese restaurant. I ordered a kabob. When it came out it had a little pile of hot pink vegetables on top. After some taste-testing we determined that [...]

With a little brainstorming and a peek into The Flavor Bible, this is the dish I made-up. Hope you like it. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, plus 8-12 whole leaves for garnish olive [...]

This recipe comes from my dad. You can tell because it involves lots of butter. My parents have “Monday Night Dinner” with some good friends–they take turns making dinner for each other every week. Sometimes I weasel my way into free dinner. My dad made green beans like this last week. While we were eating [...]

The inspiration for this recipe was a bag of tortilla chips. You see, we found a brand that we used to buy all the time in Chicago (which was somewhat of a local brand). We bought this brand all the time because they were much better than most chips you can find at the supermarket. [...]

This is another recipe from Kathy, Mike’s sister. She was kind enough to make it for me (along with the kale salad) so I could share it with you all. She describes this as her “party dish” because she’s got the recipe down pat so it’s easy to make, and she knows she can bring [...]
