Creamy Vegetable Pot Pie with Polenta-Parmesan Crumble

July 13, 2011

I’m not going to lie, 2011 has felt, at times, like quite the roller coaster. Romantic relationships ended before they even began. Endless open houses and condo showings pursuit of my perfect Chicago home netted me little more than a failed negotiation. So when I finally got a piece of good news recently, celebrations seemed [...]

Vietnamese-Inspired Pork Noodle Soup

March 22, 2011

Of things to know about me – I’m not good at being sick. My life is usually so busy that sick days don’t really fit into my schedule and even if they do, I’m the type that has a hard time resting for long. Sure I might sleep in or maybe even take an afternoon [...]

Meatless Monday: Mushroom Burgers to Bring On Summer

March 14, 2011

I’ve had it with winter in Chicago! I know I promised, no resolved, that I was going to embrace it with optimism.  I know I even went so far to create an action plan of things I could do to not just tolerate, but love it.  And I swear I tried, I really did.  I’ve [...]

Turkey Dried Cherry Pasta Salad

March 8, 2011

I’ll admit to being a sucker for grocery store deli counter salads.  Tossed with mayo or mixed with vinaigrette they tempt me ruthlessly.  (Whole Foods in particular makes a smoked mozzarella salad I’m smitten with.)  It takes all the willpower I can to wheel my cart by without stopping for a pint.  Because of this, [...]

Christmas Eve Prime Rib Dinner

December 25, 2010

Merry Christmas everyone.  I hope that all those who celebrate have had a safe and restful holiday with loved ones. I must admit that until Christmas Eve I was feeling a bit Scrooge-ish. It caught me by surprise as this is normally not my holiday persona. Typically I relish the stretch of days between Thanksgiving [...]

Creamy Cajun Steak Pasta

November 17, 2010

Lately I’ve been trying to be healthier so I can be a little svelter and overall look more fabulous in my clothes.  Clearly trying is the operative word here with my posts as proof.  Creamy Wild Rice Soup?  Cheese Steak Egg Rolls?  Popcorn Balls?  Is it any wonder my clothes are a little, erhm, snug.  [...]

Meatless Monday: Honey Mustard Cashew & Tofu Pasta Salad

November 1, 2010

I always strive to bring balance to every aspect of my life whether it’s in thinking about how I approach my career or in how to build flavor in a dish.  Unfortunately, in reality it doesn’t always work out that way.  Lately things have been a bit chaotic in the work department.  A quick turnaround [...]

Cheese Steak Egg Rolls

October 27, 2010

If you’ve read my blog for awhile then you may remember that a little over a year ago I confessed to being a hoarder.  I’ve moved up significantly in the square footage department since then – from exactly 642 square feet in Boston to roughly double in Chicago – but the problem still remains.  I’m [...]

Pasta with Roasted Yellow Tomato and Goat Cheese Sauce

September 1, 2010

It’s funny how simply by using fresh, seasonal produce, something that might ordinarily seem pedestrian becomes craveable. Such is the case for me for pasta with tomato sauce. Typically, it’s not something I make often. It’s overlooked in favor of whatever is the dish that’s captivating me at the moment be it grilled lamb or [...]
