Tasty Biscuit

  • Orange Lentil Dal

    This is an interesting sounding dish, especially for it’s ease. The fact that she mentions Smitten Kitchen is the winner in my book. 🙂 She took out the butter. I added it back in.

  • Eggplant Parmesan

    This is the eggplant parmesan recipe I grew up with. Thanks to my lovely Mom for telling me the recipe for the 3rd time now. 🙂

  • pistachio tapenade

    This is a great tapenade on it’s own. We first heard about it from Smitten Kitchen to put over lamb. Then Michelle put it in a grilled cheese sandwich. Oh. My. God. That became a new favorite snack.

  • Panade

    Chard and Onion Panade Serves 4 as a main course or 8 as a side dish 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced yellow onions Up to 1/2 cup mild-tasting olive oil 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced Salt 1 pound Swiss chard (thick ribs removed), cut into 1-inch-wide ribbons 10 ounces day-old chewy peasant-style bread cut into…

  • Green beans

    I love green beans. I would marry them if I could, and move to Utah. These are really super quick and a quite tasty Indian side dish. I made it on a whim for Michelle the other night, then made them again the following day with lunch since they were so quick and good.

  • Stamppot

    A really comforting dish. When Michelle sprung this on me last year, I thought “OK, I’ll try”. Both of us were smitten by the comfort-food quality of this dish. This is best for a colder day. The recipe is fairly loose in reality. It’s really onions / aromatics, veggies all mixed into mashed potatoes. This…

  • Apple Broccoli Soup

    This is a long time family favorite at my parents’ house. It has been around since at least 1990, if not from the late 80’s. Ever since trying it, it has been the starter course for Thanksgiving. The pairing of apple and broccoli is a brilliant idea. This is a revised recipe as Michelle said…

  • Arroz con Pollo (Rice with Chicken)

    This is really, really versatile. I have added white beans to make it more hearty, more tomatoes to make it more saucy, etc. It is also a one-pot dish.

  • Penne with Pine Nuts and Zucchini

    This is based off of a recipe from my father, who adapted it from a Mario Batali recipe.

  • anchovy and garlic pasta

    This is a recipe that most people go “eww” to, until they try it. The magic is in how the anchovies and the garlic cancel out each others harsher tones, leaving a wonderful, tasty dish in it’s marital place.
