Rarebit (also referred to as Welsh Rabbit) is a savory sauce traditionally made from cheese, spices and ale that’s spooned over toasted seedy bread and broiled until the sauce is brown and bubbly. I love rarebit. It’s tangy and bitter, yet smooth and buttery, closely resembling fondue. Our friends across the pond may disagree, but […]

For as long as I can remember, my friend Nathan has hosted a Saint Patrick’s Day party where he serves masterfully homebrewed dry Irish Stout and fork-tender corned beef brisket with cabbage and potatoes. These parties are tradition and something that I look forward to every year as a way to enjoy not only the

Salisbury Steak is a stick-to-your-ribs, comforting dish that you’d expect to find on the menu at your favorite diner. It’s not steak at all, but rather ground beef, mixed with onion and bell pepper, pan seared and finished in brown gravy. It’s not fancy, nor is it trendy, but what it is, is really good.
Delicata squash is one of my favorite winter squashes. It stores well, tastes great and is beautiful too. Delicatas are a gorgeous pale cream color, with streaks of yellow and green running throughout it, while the flesh is vibrant orange and sweet and tender when roasted. What I love about delicata squash is that you

As a kid, my family and I never lived near my grandparents, but we still managed to visit them at least once a year. We’d load up in my parents’ brown Plymouth minivan (brand-new at the time) and endure the 18-hour trek across the country, usually in the middle of the summer. My mom and
I am just returning home from picking up a few dozen farm fresh eggs from my friend Lisa and I am so excited! These eggs are beautiful and perfect for making one of my favorite dishes, Eggs in Purgatory. Eggs in Purgatory are essentially eggs, slowly poached in a rich and spicy tomato sauce, served
My brother-in-law was the first person to introduce me to fish tacos. At that time in my life (a young teen) I had never heard of such a thing and fish only came two ways, fried or fried. The thought of putting fish on a taco was totally crazy, but after that first introduction, I
Fat Tuesday is right around the corner so I thought it would a great time to share my Beans and Rice recipe. This Beans and Rice dish defines southern comfort food and it’ll cure what ails you. Is it cold and snowy out? Serve rice and beans! Are you hung-over from an evening of rabble-rousing
These Beet and Sweet Potato Fritters are my new favorite go-to meal! They are simple to make and really delicious. The fritters are slightly sweet and earthy and have a great texture – tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. These fritters are great on their own, but really good when served alongside

Cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables. It’s affordable, lasts forever if stored properly and is super versatile. You’ll find it in many of my recipes, including my great-grandmother’s Cabbage Bread or my Cilantro Coleslaw. It’s also great in soups, stir-fry and stews. In this recipe, I thickly slice and roast the cabbage with a
