This was an experiment gone so right. Try it, tonight. With mostly items on hand, the recipe kind of came together. I had some gnocchi from Rio Bertolini’s that had been in the freezer for a while and I didn’t want to waste them. I had a mostly full jar of Mario Batali’s Arrabbiata sauce….

My Ultimate Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich
I use any excuse to use Niman Ranch Applewood Smoked Bacon. It is one of my favorite products. Combine that with Applegate Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, local eggs, arugula and fresh ciabatta bread. This is my favorite breakfast sandwich right now, by far. I don’t eat breakfast very often. I’m lucky if I get a…
Chicken, Shrimp and Udon Noodle Soup
My take on chicken noodle soup. This was an unbelievable throw together meal. The weather was chilly and we wanted something soothing and comforting. What’s more comforting than chicken noodle soup? I had some leftover rotisserie chicken, frozen shrimp, and box of udon noodles that had been in the cabinet for a while (I’ve been…

Hearty and Healthy Three Bean Turkey Chili
When temperatures dip, this hearty and healthy chili will hit the spot. The funny thing about this recipe is that I totally had to make up for the fact that I had less than a teaspoon of chili powder. We usually have plenty of chili powder but we were just out, so all the dry…

Local Pork Chops Stuffed with Drunken Cranberries, Walnuts and Gorgonzola
I found these massive local pork chops and had no choice. I wasn’t even feeling pork chops, I was thinking baked chicken wings. Thankfully my better half delicately suggested she wanted the pork. These turned out amazing. The stuffing was perfect. Tart, sweet, crunchy, savory, earthy yumminess is how I would describe. The salad supported…
Coq Au Vin, Smashed White Cheese Potatoes, Asparagus and Haricot Verts
I love red wine + I love braising things + Chicken can be bland = Coq Au Vin. What a great way to cook chicken. This meal came about because the temperature is dipping down and I’m craving comfort food. I’d already done the braised beef short ribs the week before so chicken sounded good….
Thai Barbeque Chicken Pizza
Who doesn’t love pizza? I eat it just about twice a week (make it one night and leftovers another). Infinite possibilities exist with pizza and I enjoy trying to sample all of them. I bet I haven’t ordered pizza delivery in eight years. With the availability of quality ingredients and the fact that most grocery…
