Say you have a pack of chicken breast. With two pieces of chicken in it. And a family to feed. Say you have sautéed chicken breast in a pan ad nauseam and that the frozen, crunchy grass beyond your patio doors was a pretty good indication that outdoor grilling is out of the question. Say [...]

I should really be fancy and call this dish something along the lines of “Coq au vin blanc et champignons”. Doesn’t everything sound better in French?

Whatever it may be, I long for simple, good dishes that warm you from the inside out. My grandmother passed away recently, at the advanced age [...]

Chicken meatballs with dill and peas

This recipe came out of my desperate efforts to have my 2-year-old girl excited about food. Lately she developed a fix for everything that is small and round and resembles a play ball. I suspect the influence of her favorite little boy, a true sports fan at the age of 3. We roll her bread with pieces of [...]
