Tasty Biscuit

Month: May 2010

  • Shakshuka (Eggs Poached in Spicy Tomato Sauce)

    An Israli (but originally North African) dish, this is simple, quick, and made with things that we usually have on hand. Michelle made it tonight within 25 minutes, most of that cooking time. She said it was about 5 minutes of actual prep. The end result: a new favorite. 🙂

  • Southern Red Velvet Cake

    A very tasty Red Velvet Cake.

  • Veggie Chili

    When I first heard Michelle say “veggie chili” I was skeptical. Most meat eaters are wary of anything vegetarian which usually is done with meat. It violates a basic food tenant: don’t substitute, only reduce. (Or something along those lines.) Thousands of Indian dishes make the veggies front-and-center, instead of a “replacement”.

  • Honeyed Citrus

    This is our adaptation of the Happy Girl Kitchen Honey Orange Slices recipe.

  • Steak a la Trudy

    My mom’s tried-and-true steak recipe. It’s simple and fantastic.

  • Grilled flatbread with Za’atar

    An incredibly easy and fun BBQ bread to have on hand.

  • Piquillos Stuffed with Crab & Mango

    Deceptively tasty. I can’t remember why it came up a few months ago, but it has been made several times since to well-wishes. 🙂

  • Grilled Chile-Lime Arctic Char

    We didn’t even know about Arctic Char until 2006 or so, when my sister-in-law, Jessica, suggested it for a dinner. This fish holds well with such a simple accompaniment.

  • Roasted Broccoli & Shrimp

    Michelle loved this dish so much that we ate it once a week for 6 weeks. Honestly. Repeats hardly ever happen and this one was a winner.
