One night while Piyush and I were touring around India, we decided not to go out for dinner. We were so tired, we turned on the tv and ordered room service. Because we were staying at a pretty expensive hotel…the food was also expensive. Piyush couldn’t stand the idea that we were going to pay […]

Chicken Jalfrezi
It’s no secret that I love Indian style curries. They’re delicious, spicy, and usually pretty healthy (assuming you are making them yourself!). Yesterday, I shared my recipe for a good gravy base that will have you turning out curry after curry in no time. Today, I’m going to show you how to use that base […]
Wild Mushroom and Marjoram Chicken
I started my morning off with a trip to the dentist. It’s not the most pleasant way to begin the day and truthfully I had no idea that I even had an appointment. There was some sort of a mix up at the office—they thought Piyush had an appointment at 7am, so they called […]
Monday Madness! and a Greek Inspired Dinner
I really enjoy Mondays. Though, I haven’t always. In fact I used to spend Tuesday-Sunday dreading the upcoming Monday. Extreme? Probably; but when I was young(er) with few(er) worries and responsiblies, Monday meant that the weekend was ending…and work/school was starting. Mondays were an unpleasant jolt back to reality, and I hated them for […]
Black Beans and Rice…Fancy Style!
Happy 2012! Everybody make some stellar resolutions for the new year? I did! …I resolve to see Paris in the spring (or summer)! …That’s a resolution, right? I haven’t thought all that much about it yet, but I’m going to figure out how to make it happen! My holiday weekend was spent working the early […]
Indian Dinner in an Hour!
Today I woke up craving Indian food. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a really amazing, homemade Indian dinner. Too long, actually. As good as the Indian restaurant can be, it never really hits the spot entirely. Last time we were there, all I wanted was lamb curry; and that’s what we ordered. But what […]
Braised Pheasant with Red Cabbage and Wild Rice
I come from a family who loves to hunt for their food. Saturdays and Sundays during the fall were spent walking the fields around SE Minnesota, with dogs in tow, trying to flush out birds. …Pheasants, to be exact. I never really enjoyed hunting and only went with a few times (I never actually carried […]
Coq Au Vin
Today I was craving Coq Au Vin. I’m not really sure why I was craving it, because I’ve never actually had it before. It just sounded good. The weather has been dreary so something slow cooked sounded amazing. I knew I wanted to use chicken and some veggies, but I didn’t want a hotdish or […]
