“Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!” — The Doctor For once, I actually had a plan for dinner. I’d rediscovered an old recipe for grilled shrimp, and had been looking forward to it all day. How could I forget there was a storm rolling in? Probably it wasn’t so much…

Spicy Garbanzo-Chorizo Stew
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” — Unknown Don’t you just hate it when manufacturers change something in one of your favorite products, and not for the better? I used to buy a bean stew mix that was marvelously flavorful. It was one of those rare foods with easy preparation, easy clean-up, enough for…
Angry Shrimp
You’re definitely going to want to try this flavor explosion of a one-one-bowl dinner! Probably not on a weeknight after a long day of work, but maybe on game night so you can eat it in front of the TV. Maybe the next time Syracuse plays Pitt in men’s basketball. I always get angry during…

Chicken Tabbouleh

Shrimpagus
Fresh herbs and asparagus make this one-bowl meal a real treat! You’ll need two pots, though, because it’s especially good served over pasta. I used whole wheat spaghetti for an extra kick of fiber. The meal is so delicious and satisfying, nobody will guess that it took you less than half an hour or…
Chicken, Basil, & Brassica Sheet Pan Supper
This spectacular supper is as delicious as it is beautiful, and it’s healthy, too! It started when I saw a gorgeous head of orange cauliflower in the grocery store. I knew I just had to roast it. And there’s no better way than to give it such glorious company! I borrowed the marinade from Lemony Basil…
