This started as a what-do-I-have-on-hand meal. I wanted to run get some feta, but we decided that would defeat the purpose and could be added to the leftovers later. It had a very nice flavor and was pretty simple. We ate it warm, but I’m pretty certain that it would be good cold as well. [...]

I wrote a post on Chicken Avgolemono back in March. I’m remembering not being pleased with the way my sauce turned out and more than likely due to a messed up bedtime during the point of critical mass. This sauce is really delicious but takes focus and concentration like a gravy. Actually, it doesn’t so [...]

This is a quick meal, and has a very unusual (for me) advantage of nearly no dishes for cleanup at the end of assembly. The sauce was quite flavorful, but [...]

Tonigt’s Recipe: Roasted Chicken Breasts and Asparagus Everything’s better roasted. Really, meat, vegetables, you name it. And the process is pretty universal, high heat, drizzle of olive oil, few seasonings, and roast. So the Cutters Cross spice in this recipe was given to me as a gift back in my working days. I used to [...]
