This delicious dish is another one of my favorites. It’s definitely company-worthy but is simple enough to make for a weekend dinner at home. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour overall, but it’s well worth the time. You probably already have most of the ingredients. If you don’t have sumac, you can add…

Madras Shrimp
Just tell your guests you’ve been at this for hours. They’ll believe you because that’s how good it tastes! Nobody has to know that this is an incredibly simple, fast dish to make. Don’t just save it for company, either. It’s so quick and easy that it makes a great weeknight meal, too. If you…
Pork Tenderloin Carnitas
Score another one for the Instant Pot! Since I bought mine, I’ve been adapting some of my slow cooker recipes for the pressure cooker. Beef stew was magnificent; black bean soup not so much. I think the bean skins need the long, slow cook, even if the bean innards don’t. Mind you, it’s still…
Beef Stew (Instant Pot)

It’s being replaced in many places by Sichuan, which is from the Pinyin system developed in and used by China in…

Of course, I’m not actually sitting at my computer today — I’ve scheduled this to post automatically. There are better, more important things to do this morning! I’ve…
August Chicken
It’s August, for just a little while longer, which means the garden is full of vegetables just begging to be eaten. I recently made my first batch of Fresh Tomato Sauce; now it’s time to come up with ways to use it. I wanted a one-pot meal because my dishwasher is still broken. I don’t mind…
Greek Grilled Chicken
This easy, delicious chicken is wonderful by itself with a side of Tzatziki, or cut up and served in Gyros. You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe, which I’ve adapted from RecipeTin Eats, at the bottom of this page. Ingredients: 2 lb. (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs 3 large garlic cloves 1 lemon 1 bunch…
