Mild Veggie Curry

A couple of evenings ago, I walked into the kitchen at 6:30 without a single idea for what to make for dinner. All the meat was frozen, I was tired from my long day of kid wrangling, and the sink was full of dirty dishes. I was in no position to cook anything, much less [...]

I haven’t made a meatloaf in a good long while for some completely unfathomable reason. Perhaps that’s why everyone thought this really easy meatloaf I kind of just threw together was so awesome. Everyone gobbled it up. Either that or we were all just really really hungry. 1.25 lb package meat loaf mix (pork/veal/beef) 1.5 [...]

Hoppin’ John a la Jen

I hear it’s good luck to eat black-eyed peas and collard greens on New Year’s. We had ours a day late, but I’m sure whichever anthropomorphic personification in charge of Luck is okay with that. 1 15 oz can black-eyed peas 1 29 oz can small white beans (You could use all black-eyed peas, this [...]
