Dutch Oven Baby Bok Choy and Mushrooms

Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged , , , on September 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I consider bok choy the Danny Bonaduce of vegetables.  It may look tough, it may look scary, but at the end of the day it’s just another leafy green in a sea of washed up child stars and completely conquerable.  With some quick heat and some good flavors the bok choy turns into a tender [...]

I decided that right at the end of the summer would be a good idea to plan a trip to my friend’s Virgina home which includes both a pool and close proximity to a beach.  The wonderful benefit of the end of the summer is that everything has been pretty busy at work, leading me to [...]

I would like to use this moment to discuss something important.  That something important is Justin Bieber.  Whenever I’m back at my parents’ house for some reason unbenounced to me, the kitchen TV only has about half of the current channels.  However, MTV always comes in crystal clear.  Now, don’t get me wrong.  I’ve been known to [...]

Memorial day weekend I was lucky enough to go to my friend Jes’s wedding. Out of the billions of weddings I’ve been to in the last few years, I find that I really love the food-a-ganza at southern weddings.  Best part of this one?  The picnic the night before consisted of a whole smoked pig. [...]

First, let me preface this post with something very important.  Today, my father turns the ripe old age of 50.  On this special day, I hope he realizes how great it is to make it to half a decade and how lucky he is to have me.  Anyways, one of the most important parts of planning [...]

Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged , on May 9, 2010 | 2 Comments »

If you are easily offended by bodily functions, walk away.  Also, if you are easily offended by anything, you should probably stop reading my blog. I love asparagus, but it results in the phenomenon that my father has deemed “asparagus piss”.  Yes, it makes your pee smell.  Yes, it’s really embarrassing in a public bathroom, [...]

I would like to use this moment to discuss a little bit about my family.  My great-grandmother, Sarah, was probably one of my favorite characters in my family history.  She was the only generation of my family that I got to meet that went through what I like to call the “family exodus”.  Most Americans [...]

Roasted Broccoli Spears

My lady, she went downtown, she bought some broccoli….. (If you want to know what I’m talking about, start at around 2:40) But anyways, I love broccoli.  It may help prevent cancer, caramelizes nicely in the oven, and sops up whatever you throw it in.  Plus, it costs 2 extra bucks to get with your Chinese food [...]

Sauteed Escarole

Rico and I are not big on Valentine’s Day.  On our third Valentine’s Day together, we decided to continue our tradition of just stuffing our faces with as much food as possible.  We needed something green on our plate (I’m not really sure why.) and this worked.  I would definitely make this over and over [...]

Ratatouille

The French work hard for their food.  Every French recipe I read takes hours and usually consists of chopping.  I chopped and chopped and sautéed and chopped and sliced my finger and chopped…  This is a time if you have children, make them work.  Make them chop.  Isn’t that what they are good for anyways?
