Redneck meatloaf – Redneck Cooking

I love meatloaf. It’s a simple, easy, filling dish and you can make it out of any ground meat. Meatloaf is also one of those things that you have to work awfully hard to screw up. There are probably as many different recipes for meatloaf as there are for burgers. I have several different variations […]

What’s okonomiyaki and why should I make it? – Maki clack

I rather enjoy Japanese food of any persuasion, but I gotta say, I had never heard of okonomiyaki before Mothering Magazine published a recipe for it. What is it? A Japanese pancake or pizza. Now that can’t be bad, right? Really, as you read the recipe for Mothering‘s okonomiyaki, you realize it’s probably better than […]

Pasta with lobster, butter beans and chives

The last clambake that my family went to, a few years back, our then almost two-year-old ate the lion’s share of my lobster. I’m a loving, giving, generous mom, so I only resented him a little bit for it, and I was secretly tickled that my crazy kid adored the bizarre shellfish. Fast forward three […]

Sausage and onions over rice – Redneck cooking

I hate August. The freezer is empty, well except for some zucchini that was missed, and it is still a month until hunting season starts. I am so looking forward to September. I need some fresh grouse. I always have trouble finding something good to eat this time of year. As much as I love […]

Giada De Laurentiis’s Farfalle with Broccoli – Recipe Test Drive

This isn’t really a test drive, per se. This is one of my favorite recipes, and I just wanted to make sure that all of you had a chance to try it. Giada’s Farfalle with Broccoli is a super easy, delicious meal that is simple enough to make on any week night. I love to […]

Perfect salad nicoise is pure magic

I make salad nicoise a lot. I mean a lot. And I’ve never made it the same way twice. Sometimes, I do it very traditionally and pared down, with just greens, potatoes, green beans, olives and tuna. Other times, I’ll make a salad nicoise with a twist, and change out the olives for capers and […]
