**Updated 5/3/2021** I started to remake this for the blog, but got distracted with the “Little Boss” and forgot to defrost the chicken…and take progress pics. No matter– this is a very simple recipe, and once you get the stock together, you can really add any protein you want! This time, I had sausage– not…

One-Pot Chicken and Couscous
I’m back…kind of! The past few weeks have been a blur, but Dani and I are about to welcome a baby into the world– I’ve been a *little* distracted. I will hopefully not disappear for another seven weeks, but I’d bet that posts are going to be a lot more episodic this year. Some new…
Green Lentil Soup
It’s December, but not really winter in Atlanta yet. With only a few weeks left of this crazy year, I’m trying to cover some of the dishes that have been missing from the blog after all this time. This is yet another way to eat lentils– think of it as a “grown up” version of…
“Harvest Pesto”
I keep saying it: 2020 won’t quit. I had a burst of creativity (and extra time) about 6 months ago, and started to get weeks ahead on the blog– the posts were looking great, right? Well, on top of all the new developments this year, we are still settling into the new place. I haven’t…
The Basics: Stock
This week, I’m going to walk you through The Basics of another high-yield skill: making stocks. There’s a good chance you’ve got the message by now: don’t waste food! Everything from bones, herb stems– and even onion skins can give you an awesome base for the next meal. Even better– you can freeze it until…
The Basics: Tomato Sauce
In honor of the second session of Breaking Bread (instagram: @breakingbread.acf) on pasta sauce, I’m going to take you through the basics. You really don’t need much; you just layer fresh- (or preferably canned) tomatoes with herbs, spices, olive oil…and alcohol. Let it simmer until an insanely good sauce comes together. This is just a template!…
Arepa de Camarón
You really never know what’s coming next–most of the time, I don’t either. Last week, you saw a Nigerian-fusion burger, and this week it’s back to Colombian cuisine. This one is easy! Very few ingredients, and no real surprises here…except one thing on my end. See, it’s been a while since I’ve made these, and…
Caramel-Onion Chicken
I got this idea one night when I only had 30 min, and I’m passing it on to you. This one’s a little bit of alchemy– one of those times when I don’t even believe how much I can twist ordinary flavors. I used Ras el Hanout again, but you can hit a lot of…
Chicken & Dumpling Soup
I looked up yesterday and realized that two months have passed. Stuff is starting to open back up (for better or worse) but just when I started thinking about going back outside, it started to rain again. Great. Well, instead, I’m making soup. Good soup. I’ve been doing my part to support local restaurants…but that…
Chicken & Hominy Chowder
I’ve had a lot of time lately… almost too much. I’ve been able to catch up with the blog, and get a few weeks ahead– for the first time since maybe November! I’m doing my best to make this quarantine work for me but… is it over yet? This week, I’m taking on chowder– but…
