My favorite kind of dinner recipe—tasty and fast! This is for dinner for 2. Also, a good time to find and explore your local Asian market. INGREDIENTS: 2 scallions 1 lime 10 oz. ground pork (or chicken or whatever protein you like.) 4 oz. shredded red cabbage 2 Tbsp. Hoisin sauce (it’s like barbecue sauce)…

Legen-dairy Risotto
“Non-dairy risotto? Fuck do you mean, non-dairy risotto?” Italian hands intensify <sarcasm> This was definitely the first thing my mother said to me when I told her about this recipe. 100%. For real. No takebacks. </sarcasm> Hi, readers of an obscure cooking blog. I’m Diana’s son, Drew. She made me, and now I have to pay…
Miso Apricot Chicken with Ginger-Garlic Rice
An interesting, tasty, and easy new way to make chicken.
Favorite Thanksgiving: Herb and Citrus Turkey
Because throwing out food is the worst, I often use this recipe for just thighs or a breast rather than an entire turkey if we don’t have many guests. Using just parts is great — it’s easier to tell if your meat is entirely thawed, everyone can have the part they like best, and it…
Covid(-19) Diaries: Asparagus Piccata
*A delicious edit: Add pancetta for a savory addition! During this crazy shelter-in-place time, there have been evenings where we needed to get creative about dinner. This little experiment turned out so well I thought I’d keep it around. It’s pretty much stuff we just had around the house. So I’m calling this Asparagus Piccata,…
The best Shepherd’s Pie Ever
It’s all about Worcestershire & wine. Ingredients: olive oil 3-4 carrots, diced 1 large onion, diced 1 pound ground beef or lamb 1 cup frozen peas (or any peas) 1 tablespoon butter (Earth Balance if you’re dairy-free) 2 tablespoons flour black pepper (to taste) 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme, finely diced 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1…
Cuban-inspired Beans & Rice
This is a fast, easy recipe for those nights when you want something healthy and light, but satisfying. I’ve also added meat to mine, on the nights when I really do need to eat more protein (and accepting it’s a little less healthy this way.) You can easily make it with or without the polish…
Easiest Chicken Piccata
This is such a simple recipe to make, and I love having dinners that can be whipped up relatively fast. Ingredients Chicken cutlets, sliced or pounded thin Flour or breadcrumbs Eggs (maybe, if you use breadcrumbs) a lemon 1 tablespoon of butter, or Earth Balance if you can’t eat dairy 1/2 cup chicken broth 1/4…
Farfalle & Tomatoes
My favorite, simple dinner is fast and easy to make. The key is having a good oil (I prefer Colavita) and fresh ingredients – even better if you have fresh pasta, too, but that’s not necessary. Ingredients: 1-pound box Farfalle (or penne if you prefer – any pasta will work, honestly) 4-5 fresh Roma or…
Cashew nut “ricotta”
I love cheese. Really. I do. I. Love. Cheese. I never realized how much of it I ate, either, until I finally figured out that I actually am allergic to dairy, and gave it up. So, while my sinuses are forever grateful, my nose can properly function again and my skin is generally relieved, my…
