The other day I made my very first “real” chicken dinner. I had been meaning to try this recipe for roast chicken, but I didn’t want it to suck and then leave my three roommates hungry. They’re all back in snowy Virginia now, so I thought it would be a good time to try.
The recipe [...]

Café Zuni chicken dinner and poached pears

Braaaaain
No picture, but hint: it’s orange!
Henry and I made this somewhat ad hoc a long time ago, but since Michael didn’t really enjoy it (owing to his tragic inability to reconcile savory and sweet flavors in the same dish) we were reluctant to repeat it. Luckily last week my cravings for marmalade chicken and a CS conference coincided! So we [...]
Brown Butter, Part I
This embarrassingly simple recipe does in a pinch for dinner, especially when you want something easy and uncomplicated, yet good enough to impress a boy (or a girl)! I used to consider butter cheating… but have you ever tasted this stuff? IT’S AWESOME
Chicken breasts in sage brown butter (with polenta!)

Ain’t nothing wrong with that!
This is a take on a chilaquiles recipe I found while browsing Epicurious, but with cornbread replacing deep-fried corn tortillas. Chilaquiles is essentially “Mexican lasagna” in that it is a baked casserole, made by alternating layers of starch, meat, cheese, and other tasty things. It was experimental and—while delicious—the recipe we used needs tweaking, so [...]
Thaime for dinner!
There was a Thai food truck back at CMU which I frequented for lunch, and because vegetarian selections were $1 cheaper, I usually ended up getting the strangely delicious Thai basil eggplant. I’ve never been a huge Eggplant Fan, but Thai cooking can make anything taste exciting and new! Much of this magic is due [...]
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
It’s hard to follow up Monsieur Georges’ decadent posts, but I’ll try!
Chicken lettuce wraps are one of those dishes which I can never remember the origin of – are they really anywhere close to “authentic” asian food, or is PF Chang’s overpriced asian fusion menu responsible for them? A quick Google search yielded no concrete [...]
Cheese & wine chicken
Cheese. Wine. Chicken. What more could you need? If the answer is “corn bread stuffing,” this recipe still has you covered.
“Pair it with something light,” she says – Chicken Boudine
Not even diabeetus could stop the frantic scarfing of the dish I’m about to convey to you. No photography can make it look attractive. No other food can quash your need for chicken boudine. I have modified a Paula Deen recipe, my friends, and it is delicious like nothing you have ever tasted.
