My inspiration for this next dish came from an experience I had back in high school. As a teenager, I would go out on weekend nights looking for some action. Nothing too crazy mind you as my curfew was 11:00pm, and it is hard to find “some action” when you have to be home well…
Curried Field Pea Stuffed Tomatoes
As a child, I spent my summers riding my Huffy dirt bike all over the neighborhood. My buddies and I would swim in the creek looking for crawdads and salamanders and the occasional snake. We built forts in the woods with plywood and nails liberated from the nearby construction sites. Almost every night we played…
BLT Sandwich
Now, I have mentioned in earlier posts that I don’t miss meat anymore. Well, this is a giant, big fat, bold faced lie when it comes to sandwiches. For me, nothing made lunch better than bread, mayonnaise, and lots of cold cuts. Vegetables were always a seldom used option. So out of respect for the…
Lentil Salad
I don’t always like to cook. While I spend a good bit of time in the kitchen, there are days when I would love to be anywhere else. You know what I mean? Maybe the boss has been riding your ass. Maybe the kids won’t stop bickering. Maybe your significant other changed their relationship status….
Classic Lasagna
“You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound. A dimension of sight. A dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… The Twilight Zone.” – Twilight Zone: The Movie 1983 The…
Stuffed Poblano Peppers
As a nation of entrepreneurs fueled by capitalism, Americans have constantly tried to invent new things or improve older versions of things. Our country has always looked for quicker, easier methods of manufacturing, communicating, farming, dressing, shaving and moving. I mean we invented the Cotton Gin, the Telephone, the Reaping Machine, the Zipper, the Safety…
Seared Scallops
“He went to Paris, lookin’ for answers to questions that bothered him so…” Jimmy Buffett, He Went to Paris. What could Jimmy be looking for in Paris you might ask? What were all those questions that had him all worked up? I can’t answer that, and in fact, as the song goes, neither could Jimmy….
Corn and Farro Risotto
Alright, can anyone argue that Patrick Swayze was not a total bad ass in Roadhouse? I didn’t think so. I mean come on, Dalton not only single-handedly cleaned up the Double Deuce but he also took on Brad Wesley and his entire gang of thugs. I mean anybody that can beat up a dude with…
Roasted Eggplant Dip
“Master Yoda, I promise to return and finish what I’ve begun. You have my word.” – Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back. And just like Luke in Return of the Jedi, you have kept your promise and are back to continue your instruction in the ways of the force. Luckily, you haven’t had your…
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Up until now, I imagine that you have been enjoying my carnilicious dishes in the privacy of your own home. Perhaps you have boldly passed on some of the recipes to your friends. Or perhaps, you have been secretly relishing each tasty morsel and have decided to give the whole vegan thing a go. Then…
