Butternut squash rice stuffed chicken capons are the first real food I’ve added to the blog in a while. I only heard of capons when I moved to the east coast. It wasn’t really a thing back home in Chicago. In Israel, they were pergiyot. Something deliciously moist you could order at a fast food […]
What the what?! Grilled spiralized deli style hot dogs is quite a mouthful. Get this, so is the actual hot dog. Sooo the history between the classic hot dog and myself is quite long…and frequent. They were basically my most favorite food until I grew up. (or until the calendar said I did…) I […]
Who doesn’t love a good sticky batch of chicken poppers? When I was coming up with the concept for the pomegranate chicken poppers, I told my husband I want to make wings. He said, “Wings? Why would you make wings if I don’t like them? Make poppers!” Oh poppers. Duh. I hadn’t made […]
I like my chicken wings only two ways. Grilled or fried. This is one of my favorite recipes! The baking powder helps give the skin a crunchy texture and the sauce, is not your typical BBQ sauce. It seeps into the chicken and gives it a richness and burst of tang! They sure know how […]
It ain’t a pizza party until you’ve had a real Chicago deep dish pizza. The dough forms a deep thick crust and tucked inside is cheesy flavorful filling. The homemade sauce is then spread on top of the cheese with a sprinkle of magic-um Parmesan. Up your pizza game people. Chicago Deep Dish Pizza […]
Gnocchi. Sounds so…….complicated. I’m sure you’ve had this at restaurants and thought could never make it at home. This recipe is a lighter version of gnocchi, made with creamy ricotta cheese. It takes much less time to make as there is no need to cook and mash potatoes before starting. It is a very soft […]
As many of you know, when cooking steak there is a degree of guesswork involved. Often you’ll cut into your grilled steak to find dry, grey and sad looking meat. Want to ensure this doesn’t happen again? Try the reverse sear technique. You put your steak in the oven BEFORE you sear it! Crazy no? […]
Winner winner chicken dinner after a full day of activities everyone wants to just sit down with the family and enjoy a good conversation over a delicious filling meal. Chicken on the bone is usually looked upon as the sad boring dinner. When you roast a whole chicken, the problem is that chicken breasts […]
Miami ribs is flanken sliced really thin. They are super tender (due to the fact they are from THE best part of the cow) and they cook super quickly. Grab a load of napkins. These spicy Miami ribs are every bit of the backyard BBQ food you’ve been craving all winter long. Spicy and slightly […]
Chanukah has come and gone and we’ve had our fair share of snow already (in my opinion!!) It’s been great and exhausting getting into routine. (Is it winter break yet?!) This is where the fantastic new sliced flavored cheeses from Natural and Kosher come in. I’m always looking for something easy to throw together for […]
