It’s been really cold in NYC. Like painfully cold. Like I need hot food smothered in cheese kind of cold. However, I need to put this blog on a diet, so the cheese to meat ratio will be lessened and vegetables will be our main filler. Result? Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts. I used feta because [...]

Let’s talk buffalo wings. They are delicious, yet fail in many aspects of a perfect food. They are messy, not attractive to eat on a date, and can rank up to 200 cals for just one! This recipe, made by Rachel Ray who is normally the queen of “this is healthy because I only used 1 cup [...]

See, I have to be quite honest about a few things before I present this recipe. First of all, I have slowly learned that if you tell someone you love, and basically think is perfect, to do a very small task, one related to your blog, they will do the opposite. I admit I am [...]

Recently, I’ve been searching for more and more quick and healthy hot dinner recipes, so that my dinner making doesn’t impede on my Xbox 360 Lego Starwars time. This recipe is just a mosh of things I had in the fridge/pantry and is easily put together between levels of the game. Plus, the chicken is super juicy [...]

Cooking chicken is easily the root of all issues related to living with a member of the opposite sex. In my home, as well as in my parents’ home (with my mom and dad), or any time I have cooked for a man, I have found the same problem. I want white meat, skinless, and [...]

I don’t know what it is, but I crave Indian food. Often! Actually, the first birthday Rico and I spent together was celebrated by me taking him out for Indian food to a sweet, little spot called Panna II. Here, in the East Village, is an interestingly decorated restaurant in which the walls and ceiling are COMPLETELY [...]

See this button above? Stumble me, make my day!. Oh, and if you don’t know what stumbled upon is, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stumbleupon I’ve been bad lately. Like, really bad. Cuban food, pizza, hot wings…I needed some detox. However, the problem with being bad for so long leads you to crave more and more bad food. [...]
Bottle O’ Curry

I see Indian food in three ways, carbs, coconut milk, and tomato-based. I try to avoid the first two. However, two of my favorite dishes, Biryani (rice) and Korma (a curry with coconut milk), are in the first two categories. Many curries contain coconut milk, which are much higher calorie, as well as served over [...]
Classic Pan to Oven Chicken

I consider chicken the simplest of the proteins. It has a naturally delicious flavor, and all the prep work really is done to supplement taste or add texture. Over my many, many years, I’ve delved into different chicken techniques, but I definitely have a few favorites. Pan to oven cooking of chicken never ceases to [...]
