Stuffed Mushrooms

We have done very little cooking (but no less eating) as of late.  We have dined in the airport, BBQed in Portland, discovered new restaurants in NYC, ordered a few rounds of take-out, thawed our big batch of pesto, baked boxes of Trader Joe’s Chick’n [...]

Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza

This one is Z’s favorite of our pizza recipes.  It includes two of his greatest loves — Pepperoni and Mushrooms! And with the fresh tomatoes, as far as he is concerned, you can’t go wrong. The original idea for this one was actually to do [...]

Mushroom Crostini

When we first started dating, and before Z was willing to reveal that grad school tuition had drained his savings, we went out to a lot of fancy dinners (the things guys do to impress girls!). Once this information was revealed, however, we started to [...]

Savory Matzo Brei

Maybe you’re running out of matzo are you are getting sick of matzo and jam breakfasts, matzo cheese sandwiches for lunch and matzo ball soup for dinner. We’ll admit that the novelty of our matzo meals makes eating matzo a thousand times more fun, so [...]

Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms

We have our families to thank for a lot of our recipes — Val’s Chili Mayo, The Queen’s Sangria and Swiss Chard Crostini, Becky’s Brussels, and now, this.  This one hails from The Evergreen State where Z’s sister, when not chasing after her two teeny [...]

Sesame Shiitakes

This is another easy side dish that we made after being inspired by our Sesame Green Beans.  How can you go wrong with all those flavors?  This is basically the same as our sesame green beans minus the sesame seeds and plus a little chili [...]

Whiskey Beef and Mushroom Sauce

We have had some bizarre weather recently. It has rained.  It has snowed.   It has been sunny.  Sometimes all in the same day.  It has been so cold we used our oven for heat and it has been a balmy 61°. The only thing [...]

Challah Stuffing, just in time…

This past Saturday night, because Z had never seen this (albeit cheesy) classic, we watched the old Miracle on 34th St.  Our dining room table also looks like Santa’s workshop and our bell has been ringing more than usual with package deliveries.  Certain drawers are [...]

Winter Weather and Winter Soup

We were supposed to spend Halloween weekend with friends up in Westchester going to haunted houses and a maze of carved, blazing pumpkins, but winter struck the east coast and all our events were cancelled by an unexpected October snow.  So, we stayed in the [...]

The Sunday Blues

We all get this sometimes, right?  Whether it is due to a hurricane let-down or a daunting week ahead at work, Sunday evening rolls around and you need a cure for the blues. We combat the Sunday blues with some kitchen-time.  Sometimes this translates into [...]
