Oyster “Po’ Mi” Sandwich
Po’ Boy and Banh Mi sandwiches both came about when French people inhabited a new part of the world and started cooking with local ingredients. These two sandwiches aren't that different really, so I decided to bring them together for a new sandwich I like to call The Po’ Mi. There isn't really anything po’ about this sandwich however. Oysters are expensive! But even though I was saying po’ mi at the check out line, any regrets wer... Read More ›

Lemon-Lime Souffles
It is my life’s goal to be Martha Stewart. OK, just kidding! But I do love her recipes. So when mine eyes got a gander at a recipe for cute little lemon soufflés in lemon cups (SO creative! How do she and her team of crafty cohorts do it??), I knew it had to be mine, in my own kitchen, right then and there (I’m a bit impatient when it comes to Martha Stewart recipes. And dessert.). So I got my Martha on and made ya’ll a super-sweet... Read More ›

Pad Thai Pot Pie

Pad Thai Pot Pie
I came up with this riff on the classic Thai dish because I thought the name sounded funny. The flavors of Pad Thai are fairly easy to achieve, and surprisingly versatile to adapt into other recipes. The idea is to merge some flavors and textures from a traditional pot pie into the exotic pad Thai. Some chicken stock thins out the sauce a bit and makes it perfect to be baked into a pot pie. As I was developing the recipe I realized that Pad T... Read More ›

Breakfast Hot Dogs
When is it completely acceptable to have a hot dog for breakfast? I’ll tell you when. Any time you plan on doing nothing but drinking beer and/or watching sports all day long. In other words, when tailgating. We are deep in the heart of March Madness right now, generally seen as one of the best times of the year for sports lovers. It’s important that you eat a hearty breakfast to soak up some of those beers and also give you lots of energ... Read More ›

Cereal Milk Panna Cotta
Pop-up restaurants are a big trend right now in Boston. If you’re not familiar, a restaurant basically appears out of nowhere, serves dinner for a day, week, month, or whatever allotted time it chooses, then disappears back to nothingness. It’s something different and a lot of fun, and I try and get tickets whenever I can! One I recently attended was college-themed. This meant things like wild mushroom “hot pockets” and the most fabul... Read More ›

Chorizo Meatballs with Gushers
How adventurous are you when it comes to trying new foods? When I first thought about these Chorizo Spicy Meatballs with Gushers, I admit I thought…um…disgusting. But the more I thought about it, my mind opened up to the possibility that it could be amazing. I love meatballs and I love Gushers…so why not together? After all, I really enjoy a spicy and sweet combo when it comes to food. In fact, some of my favorite meatballs... Read More ›

Sloppy Joe Mac and Cheese
Do you know what a music mash-up is? It’s when a talented DJ takes two songs that seem worlds apart and mixes them together into a seamless creation. Well, this is my comfort food mash-up. It takes two of my favorite dinners from childhood (sloppy joes and macaroni and cheese) and mashes them together into one delicious dish. And trust me. Sloppy Joe Mac and Cheese is a mash-up that you’re going to try out. Of course, there are two... Read More ›

Spinach Artichoke Mac and Cheese
My hobby is turning things into mac and cheese, and turning mac and cheese into other things. It’s a bit of an obsession (more on this next week). Today's subject is spinach and artichoke dip, the popular appetizer that is served with pita chips at many restaurants. Spinach artichoke dip is so similar to mac and cheese that I am surprised I haven't made this Spinach Artichoke Mac and Cheese already! It’s cheesy, creamy, and baked, just li... Read More ›

Red Velvet Battered Chicken Fingers

Red Velvet Battered Chicken Fingers
Red velvet may seem like a strange coating for chicken, but the flavors actually go really well together! This batter is a modified funnel cake recipe with elements of red velvet cake. The only question was, “What do we dip it in?” I tried BBQ sauce, ranch, and even a simple royal icing. The real winner was a honey Dijon dressing because the contrast of sweet and savory was prevalent in both the chicken fingers and the dip. The friends I... Read More ›
