Slime-free Okra with Summer Vegetables
Sometimes simpler is better. At least that’s what I kept telling myself as I was preparing this dish, which is officially called “Kentucky-style okra, corn and tomato stew.” It’s from a Cook’s Country book called America’s Best Lost Recipes which, … Continue reading
Summer Salad of Vietnamese Noodles and Fresh Herbs
In the past three weeks, the temperature in Denver has hovered near 100 almost every day and I’ve made this salad four times. There’s something about the cool noodles and fresh herbs that makes me crave this dish every time … Continue reading
Baked Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese
Just in time for the Superbowl, here’s a chicken wing recipe that I have been making forever, which, given how recently I started cooking, means I’ve been making it since 2010. That’s when Food & Wine buried what-in my opinion-should … Continue reading

Sriracha Slaw
According to my brother-in-law, you can tell how long a couple has been married by checking out how much Tabasco sauce is left in their bottle. Or..something like that… only nothing like that applies to my husband and me. We … Continue reading
Slow Cooker Chocolate Chip Pudding Cake
“Interesting.” That’s the phrase my way-too-polite friend Lacey uses to describe the evenings when my vegetarian cooking efforts are..less than successful. Lacey is so polite, in fact, that my friend Michael and I have taken to gauging her true opinion … Continue reading
Exciting rice: smoky, creamy easy
Rice doesn’t get much respect. In these low-carb days of penny-pinching austerity, it’s one of the few foods restaurants will still provide for no additional charge. It’s more condiment than main dish, i.e. unless someone’s throwing it at you after … Continue reading
