The history of Country Captain absolutely fascinates me. Do some searching around the Internet, and you’ll spend hours upon hours reading about this dish and folks like Cecily Brownstone, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and even the U.S. Army making Country Captain…
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: mushrooms—with all their earthiness—are great comfort food for me. I love experimenting with different mushroom types, and tossing them into everything from eggs to burgers to sauces. Shiitakes are indeed a favorite of…
There always seems to be leftover chicken. Whether you are grilling in the back yard or cooking up a cooler full of chicken for your tailgate, be sure to keep those leftovers handy. This little breakfast number is fast, easy and super flavorful. Besides, nobody likes…
When I’m in a rush, I love being able to grab one of these slices for breakfast and knowing that I’m going to get a good amount of carbs, protein, and fat in one sitting. The first time I made one of these I used my 14-inch All Clad fry pan, sautéed up the veggies,…
Travel friendly and super tasty, these treats often accompany me to the office or gym. They refrigerate well for days so they are a nice breakfast bite when you’re in a real pinch for time. We recommend finding a quality deli or butcher in your area when shopping for…
Sure, this recipe probably wouldn’t pass muster with Paula Deen, but I’m okay with that. The good news is that this recipe uses coconut milk instead of cow’s milk. Coconut is pretty awesome and somewhat unique (compared to other fat sources) in that it is comprised…
We absolutely love frittatas. This is one of our go-to recipes and is great for when a crowd is coming over. Feel free to mix up ingredients if this one starts to bore you. One thing we always do is make a few different sauces to pour over them. Look no further than…
Aesthetically, you’ll want to serve these muffins shortly after removing from the oven. They will shrink up a bit and loose some of their fluffy texture once they sit out too long—kind of like soufflés! These are a perfect on-the-go meal or snack. They also work great…
Bugs Bunny would love this recipe. Carrots pack the highest punch when it comes to pro-vitamin A carotenes. They help fight cardiovascular disease and cancer. Who doesn’t love the portability of this vegetable? That said, carrots deserve to be cooked from time to time…
Oftentimes, simplicity is best. This is one such recipe that plays on simplicity. I’ve had many a “I can’t stand broccoli or cauliflower” sort become a convert with this recipe. You won’t end up with mushy broccoli or cauliflower this way, and the caramelization along…
In the South, squash casserole is most often made with loads of cream, and topped with Ritz crackers for crunch. Some recipes call for adding cream of chicken or mushroom soup to give the casserole that creamy flavor and texture. With this variation, coconut milk…
Yet another use for the plentiful basil and tomatoes from the garden. If you have never grown basil at home, try it this summer, as it’s such a wonderful herb to have on hand in those summer months. This recipe is a play on pesto, which conventionally involves basil,…
