Sweet and Savory Baked Beans
Baked beans have certainly grown on me over time. When I was small, I would do everything in my power to not touch the stuff, but with age I gained some wisdom along the way; and I finally discovered the beauty that is the baked bean. I love love love this recipe, and I’m […]
Chicken Dogs with Watermelon Salsa
Yes, I made it back safe and sound from the East coast. Thank you so much for asking! It was such a great visit, but I’m also happy to be getting back into the groove of things! Also, I missed you all like crazy! … and Cilantro. I really, really missed Cilantro (and Zach […]
The Zach and Cilantro Saga – Part III: Campanelle all’Arrabbiata Rustica con Pollo all’Aglio
Do not be afraid of this dish. I went with an Italian title because it just seemed fitting (and it is not too long ago that I could actually converse in Italian). The name just flows and sounds very elegant but in fact the dish is designed to be somewhat rustic and untraditional. The […]
Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Mango Salsa
Hi everyone! It’s been so long! Really, it has been way too long. I’m so sorry for my absence these past two weeks. Everything has been out of control crazy. I am currently visiting family in NJ, but I haven’t forgotten about all of you. As you may have noticed, I delegated some tasks […]
The Zach and Cilantro Saga – Day 2: Pork Tacos with a Chipotle Aioli, Salsa Verde, and Orange-Habanero Sauce
When I think of tacos, I think of something that just melts in your mouth and makes a huge mess. My Dad used to always say, “The messier the better”. This statement seems to hold for tacos all the time. Hence, I bring to you the ultimate pork taco packed with three different sauces just […]
The Zach and Cilantro Saga – Day 1: Patriotic Peanut Butter Cookies
While Justine is out of town, we figured it would be a good idea to do a few posts contributed by me. I have decided to call this series of posts “The Zach and Cilantro Saga”. As you may already have guessed, these posts will most likely be something sweet and/or something fried because honestly, […]
Steak Tacos with Avocado & Cucumber Salsa
We love steak and we don’t eat it very often. Sad, right? I think it’s sad at least. I originally wanted to make duck tacos for this recipe because duck is absolutely awesome, but I could not pass up the rib-eyes I saw staring me in the face the other day (a lot of foods […]
Ten-Grain Pancakes with Sautéed Apples
We all crave breakfast for dinner every once in a while, and if you are anything like me you crave breakfast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Well, we were totally craving breakfast the other night and we haven’t made pancakes in quite a while. I thought it was time. I’ve had some […]
Strawberry and Rhubarb Milkshakes
I’m kind of obsessed with rhubarb here lately, and since I had some left over from the bars I made the other day, I had to find SOME way to use it. This milkshake was wonderful. It was even more wonderful after a 9 mile run today. Although, I think it most clearly resembles a […]
