Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Cavatelli
Cavatelli. What a word, right? I don't know why, but it makes me think of a super speedy sexy Italian car. And the driver probably has a pencil line mustache, a dangling cigarette from his lips and taupe linen pants to match the sand of the Mediterranean coast he so suavely cruises at sunset with his super hot lady friend in a slinky red dress. But it's not a car. And there's no pencil line mustache. There are no taupe linen pants. No cigaret... Read More ›

When I was a little girl, our neighbors had a pomegranate tree. We once walked by it and my mom said, "See that tree? Those are pomegranates. They're really good, but so messy! So I'll never buy them." My poor mama, she went all those years without those mouth-popping arils all over her recipes, simply because she hadn't learned the glorious secret that is The Easiest Way Ever to Open a Pomegranate. Thankfully, you don't have to go without! W... Read More ›

Hey look at this – it’s a salmon pancake! Actually they’re Salmon Croquettes, for the fancy-talk folk. But that’s just an all-nice-and-tied-up-in-a-pretty-little-bow term for what’s really going on here: Salmon. Pancakes. Also known as Pan-Fried Patty Magic, Seafood Scrumptiousness and Brinner 4.0… or whatever name you want to give them. In any case, they’re easy to make and unbelievably tasty. All you need are a few staple ingr... Read More ›
