This is a quick and highly versatile recipe that is more of a technique than something to follow exactly as described. The result is more portions than I would usually make for my needs, but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and mixed with other things while reheating to obtain different […]
My relationship with tofu has changed over the years. As a child, tofu was something typically around the house and I grew to not be too fond of it. While I still do not use tofu on a regular basis, it is something I now typically keep on-hand for a light and quick meal, especially
This is a “good, but…” recipe meaning that it was something that I enjoyed, but had some issues that made me not want to pursue more recipe testing and tweaking to become something that I turn into a recipe that I use on a regular basis. However, due to its flavor or other variables, it

While this recipe is for shrimp tempura, the shrimp may be replaced with other things. Those things should, however, be fairly low in moisture such as carrot or zucchini strips.

This is a great way to make fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks with minimal effort. It does take a few hours in the oven or something that can keep a fairly constant heat such as a pellet grill. However, this time results in something that is very tender and flavorful. The sauce in this recipe is just
This is a rich and creamy dish that I would call comfort food. It is very versatile in that a wide variety of vegetables may be used instead of the zucchini and peppers in the recipe. I personally do not add peanuts to the mix as I do not like the crunch, and there is
