We are so lucky to have a great year-round market here in Charlotte that features local farmers, specialty food and craft vendors. I try to make it to the Atherton Mill Market a couple of times a month during the winter to pick up fresh eggs, local cheeses and whatever winter produce looks good. My [...]

Posted in Big Green Egg, Chicken/Poultry, Ethnic, Healthy, tagged chicken, ethnic chicken, grilled meat, grilling, Healthy, poultry, tandoori chicken on October 20, 2011 | 4 Comments »
We’re trying to take advantage of the last few weeks of daylight savings time and mild temperatures by using the grill whenever possible for dinner. While Brandon is a year-round griller, it’s just more enjoyable to be out there in daylight and not shivering! We’re always looking for ways to mix it up on the [...]
Spicy Soba Noodles with Edamame, Mushrooms and Cabbage
Posted in Asian, Ethnic, One Dish, Pasta, Vegetarian, tagged Asian, dinner, edamame, Healthy, noodle bowl, noodles, soba noodles, Vegetarian on March 18, 2011 | 5 Comments »
We really enjoy noodle bowl creations but usually lean towards broth-based, curry flavored noodle bowls. This recipe caught my attention because I have never cooked with soba at home and it seemed healthy and satisfying. I’m in the midst of a 10 day break from meat so I added this vegetarian dish to this week’s [...]
Chicken Tikka Masala

We enjoy ethnic food and love cooking it at home. I first made this Chicken Tikka Masala from Cook’s Illustrated a couple of years ago and was so impressed that I was able to make such a delicious Indian dish at home. Although the recipe does have quite a few ingredients and multiple steps, [...]
Sesame Ginger Maple Tofu

Meal planning can sometimes be tricky in our house due to my desire to reduce the amount of meat (including seafood) that I eat and my husband’s wish to have meat with most of our meals. Luckily, we’ve come to a compromise where I tend to avoid meat at breakfast and lunch and only have [...]
Curried Coconut Soup with Chickpeas

Winter has arrived in the Carolinas in full force. It is freezing but I won’t complain about the temperatures because I know I have many readers who live in cold, snowy climates…I don’t know how you do it! One thing I will say is that cold days and even colder nights make me crave warm, [...]
Shaksuka

I blogged about making Shaksuka on my healthy living blog a few nights ago. I was surprised that it received a lot of positive feedback and quite a few people have indicated that they would like to make this dish. A very quick overview of Shaksuka for those who didn’t read my post earlier this [...]
Chana Masala

One of my favorite mostly vegetarian blogs is Branny Boils Over. When I saw her blog and rave about chana masala, I knew it was something that I must try. For some reason the stars just didn’t align on this one and it took me months to finally get around to cooking it. I ended [...]
Adobo Grilled Pork Tacos

We first tried these tacos a couple years ago after Brandon got his Big Green Egg and was looking for fun recipes for his grill. We couldn’t get over how flavorful and different the tacos were. The recipe came from The Barebcue Bible by Steven Raichlen. We have a couple of Steve’s books and they [...]
Fish Tacos with Baja Cream

Fish tacos are one of my favorite easy, healthy dinners. They are also a perfect warm weather dinner. As we were eating these we talked about how fun it would be to entertain with a make-your-own fish taco bar and margaritas or sangria. Just might have to do that soon! Another great thing about fish [...]
