Eh. I was pretty disappointed with the celery root mash. The directions called to cook the celery root in the microwave for 8 minutes. I kept testing and wasn’t exactly happy with the texture. I ended up cooking the celery root for a combined total of 12 minutes, until I just gave up. I think…

Sole Almondine and Mashed Purple Potatoes
My dad sent me a shipment of Omaha Steaks seafood for Christmas and so far I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I was really excited for the sole entrees since I don’t see sole in grocery stores around here. I’ve cooked these both in the oven and the air fryer and I’m a fan. The breading isn’t…
White Beans
We’re currently experiencing lots of frozen rain and ice in VA so a big bowl of salty beans is super comforting right now. I had a bag of Great Northern beans in my pantry and wanted to try a recipe from a new cookbook my sister sent me. The beans were cooked with salt pork…
Shallot-Thyme Vinaigrette
I’ve made this vinaigrette before. It’s oily, acidic and the shallots almost taste like pickled onions. It’s so good. I used the vinaigrette and made myself a dinner salad with Spring Mix, goat cheese, avocado, pepperoni and dried cranberries. So yummy
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
I love to make pizza with my boyfriend. There was a couple of weeks where that’s what all we ate every weekend. Hands down Wegmans carries the best Pizza sauce. Not that terrible canned sauce, but in their pizza section; their sauce is flavorful and well-balanced. So instead of using some of their pre-made dough,…
Cod Cakes with Tomato Sauce
You can find the recipe here as well as some background information. Also that picture is sooo much better than mine. I thought about taking a picture of the entire dish in the pan but some of the cakes fell apart and weren’t as pretty. Enjoy the professionally photographed picture instead! I loved the cod…
Roasted Chicken with Clementines and Arak
I changed 2 things from the original recipe. I didn’t have arak on hand, but I did have Pernod and the authors included that that would be an acceptable spirit to use instead. I also didn’t see clementines when I was shopping at Trader Joe’s, so I picked up mandarins instead since they’re similar in…
Stuffed Onions
So, I wanted to like these so much, but they’re not my taste. I love onions, but I feel like the flavors don’t exacty mess with each other. It was also disappointing since these took hours to prepare and I’m not one that likes to make too finicky of dishes that involve many steps and…
Sake Shioryaki
Salt-grilled Salmon For how simple the preparation of the fish was, just salt and sitting in the fridge for an hour, the fish was super moist. The only big issue was that it needed to be in the oven under the broiler longer than Morimoto had advised to suit our tastes.
Hambagu
Japanese-style Hamburger with Tangy Sauce Please don’t judge my overcooked sear, I took my eyes off the pan a bit too long. But really, this is more like a mini meatloaf with a tangy teriyaki sauce and my American taste buds were satisfied. I served this with white rice and Green Beans with Sesame Dressing…
