Easy Skillet Pizza re-visited

Easy Skillet Pizza re-visited

I wrote about this a year ago when I first made it but after making it again this weekend I felt compelled to tell you about it (and give you the recipe this time). It is truly delicious and, aside from the dough rising, quick.  This time I threw some prosciutto on...

Vegetable and Bean Tostadas

Vegetable and Bean Tostadas

  It occurred to me, as I was eating these mind you, that they are very, very healthy. Corn tortillas that are just sprayed with a little vegetable cooking spray and baked, sauted onions and peppers with garlic, some cole slaw mix tossed with lime, and your...

Roasted Carrots

Roasted Carrots

Insanely good. My daughter said "these taste like sweet potato fries" and she was 100% on the nose. This is one instance where a recipe meant for two was not nearly enough. I could have eaten an entire baking sheet of these. And all it is is carrots and a sliced...

Teriyaki Chicken

Teriyaki Chicken

I have made the "super size" version of this so I already knew it would be good. And it was; the sauce tastes authentic (as far as I know) and is sweet without being cloying. Using chicken thighs ensures that you will not dry them out. I can see the predicament...

Cheese Ravioli with Roasted Red Pepper and Pistachio Pesto

Cheese Ravioli with Roasted Red Pepper and Pistachio Pesto

I made this dish for my dear friend Jennifer who I have known for many many many years. Because she is so wise she decided recently that the two of us -- just the two of us, no kids, no significant others -- needed to commit to a monthly date.  And by golly...

Easy Skillet Cheese Pizza

Easy Skillet Cheese Pizza

I make a lot of pizza. Deep dish, grilled, french bread, "grandma," you name it. But this might be the best yet. The crust, made with bread flour, is a near perfect combination of light with a tiny bit of crunchiness. And although it may sound simple, getting the...

The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook: Chicken and Orzo with Spinach and Feta

The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook: Chicken and Orzo with Spinach and Feta

  One of my favorite things about cooking is when I am surprised.  And given how much I cook, that doesn't happen very often.  Disappointingly, I pretty much know what's going to happen when I, for instance, saute a plain old chicken breast, which is to say:...
