If there’s real Cuban bread to be found in Atlanta, we’ve yet to find it. So, what’s the best substitute? We believe it’s the gorgeously fluffy Vietnamese bánh mì. They’re much easier to find. And, they’re available at the incredibly great price of three (or, sometimes even 5) for a […]
Crispy bits of smoky bacon spiced up this simple version of spicy fried rice. This serves two very hungry adults. For a lighter meal, measure out one cup of rice per person. Then, top each serving with one fried egg. Save the leftover rice (about 1 cup) for another meal. […]
Gumbo

Sauté pork chops and garlic until a touch of golden color appears. Deglaze the pan with a splash of wine. Cover (just barely) with a simple base tomato sauce.

All in. Fabada Asturiana makes 1 giant pot 1 – 1 1/2 lbs Alubia Vasca, soaked (Here, I’m using giant white lima beans.) 2 onions, diced olive oil 8-10 cloves of garlic, sliced 1 red pepper, […]
Such pretty color …when it’s raw. Then, you apply some heat and it turns into wet mess. It’s not hard to make red cabbage taste yummy. But, it’s nearly impossible to make it LOOK yummy. I’m halfway there. This dish tastes yummy. Braised Red Cabbage makes […]
I live with someone who detests leftovers. So, creative casseroles turn those leftovers into something new. Here, leftover chili and refried beans turn into a Mexican “lasagna”. Yes, there were a lot of leftovers. Again. But, there were no complaints about them. They were eagerly devoured.
