It’s a Wild Ride Rice
Try this out on your family this year, and see what they think! They’re sure to thank you for expanding their horizons – and it may just become a staple at the Thanksgiving table every year.
A Flourless Halloween
Flourless chocolate cake really seemed to gain popularity within the last decade, possibly because of the rise of the gluten-free diet or, god forbid, the Atkins diet.
Beans, Beans, America’s Fruit
The pot will last two people at least three days, and they only get tastier as time goes on.
Carrots & A Crush
The garam masala and smoked paprika added an exotic, smoky flavor to the crispy pork, which went perfectly with the cumin in the crunchy carrot salad.
My Little Dumpling
A recent addition to my chicken and dumplings is a bag of frozen peas and carrots. Wait a second, is that a scowl I’m seeing? Come on, now!
The Creole Deal
The flavors in the dish are rich and spicy, and the brothy sauce over the creamy polenta makes for a mouth-watering combination.
Pound for Buttery Pound
This recipe makes for one delicious, dense, good-sized cake that can feed two people – or one hungry architecture student – over the course of a week.
The Okra Redemption
My goal was to disguise the furry/slimy texture that so many people (including yours truly) find unappealing.
Stuffed Peppers 2.0
The veggies add a fresh flavor, the orzo adds a nice texture and the cheese unites all the ingredients in an oh-so-creamy way.
Chowder Chowtime
This late summer crop is hugely popular year round; and if your timing is right, you can buy some of the sweetest, most tender corn this time of year.
Iced Coffee 101
Creamy, sweet and oh-so-caffeinated, iced coffee is the perfect cold reviver on a hot summer day.
The Tomato Experience
These oven dried tomatoes rival the most expensive jar of sundried tomatoes out there.
Garden Parmesan
Being my usual ambitious, one-upping self, I came up with a recipe that took plain ol’ eggplant parmesan to the next level.
Wingathon – The Quest for Fayetteville’s Best Wings
Ten restaurants, nine hours and countless wings (and beers) later, we all considered ourselves well-versed in the realm of Fayetteville’s wing options. The results are listed here. Enjoy!
