I’ve been making a lot of stir-fries lately. There’s a lot of reasons for this. For starters, a stir-fry is an awesome way to use really fresh veggies.

All of these are obviously hobbies that translate very nicely to cooking. For some reason one of my favorite things to do is stack food. I’m not [...]

I was so excited to try my hand at some more fast food things after my breakfast sandwiches were so well received. After last week’s poll, it looks like people were most excited about the possibility of making a chalupa at home. Let me start by saying that I’ve never actually had a Taco Bell [...]

We go through a pretty fair amount of hummus at our house, especially since we’ve been trying to eat less meat. I eat it with veggies or pita chips a lot as a snack and Betsy uses it on sandwiches sometimes. Hummus is good for so many reasons. First, it’s good for you. Second, it’s [...]

I was actually kind of shocked that “something spicy” won last week’s poll. I figured that something fried would win for sure given that it’s for the Super Bowl. Shows you what I know! My requirements for this dish were pretty simple. I wanted something that I could eat with my hands, that was super-spicy, [...]
