Beautiful. Sometimes that is how you have to describe food. One particular month, the cover of Bon appetit magazine particularly caught my eye. Not only did the dish on the cover look amazing, it happened to have been prepared by one of my favorite Chefs and at one of my favorite restaurants. I’ve been a…

Steak Frites with Blood Orange, Beet and Fennel Salad
I get the magazine Bon Appétit at home. It is one of the few print publications I still read. At least once an issue, I’ll see something that I become obsessed to make. This month’s obsession was the Blood Orange, Beet and Fennel Salad. The picture in the magazine was spectacular (unlike mine, gosh I…
Roast Herb Pork, Succotash and Baked Polenta Fries
This succotash recipe is one of my favorites. I liked everything about the roast pork loin and baked polenta fries, but this meal is all about the succotash. The herbed pork was very tender, a bit too pink for my better half, but very nice. I liked the idea of the polenta fries and I…

Roasted Turkey Thigh, Spicy Sautéed Spinach, Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Fried Sage Jus
Two questions: Don’t you hate when you have your mouth screwed up for something and they don’t have it at the store? Why do we only eat turkey on Thanksgiving? So, Jen was out of town which usually means I’ll be experimenting with something exotic. I had planned on duck, pork belly or at least…
Portuguese Chicken with Chorizo and Clams
I have always wanted to try a Portuguese recipe. While watching the Cooking Channel and one of my favorite shows Chuck’s Day Off, I came across this meal. Every once in awhile you come across a meal that just does it for you. This meal is one of those meals for me. Portuguese Chicken with…

Jagerschnitzel with Spaetzle and German Red Cabbage Kraut
UPDATE: I made a FODMAP friendly version and a completely from scratch version, if you like. Check it out here: My favorite German meal is Jagerschnitzel with Spaetzle and German Red Cabbage Kraut. As I am sure I have mentioned before (my friends would say ad nauseum) I spent a good chunk of my childhood…
