My mom would make these peach ribs. I loved how they were sweet from the peaches and a little tangy. I never enjoyed drinking peach nectar as I found it too think for my liking, but it is great for cooking this dish. Guessipe 4 lbs pork spareribs, cut into individual ribs Salt to taste…

Curry Chicken Rice Salad
My mom makes this dish, and there’s something about it that’s so comforting. It’s also great because it’s a whole meal in one – grain, meat, and veg. So it’s great for scooping yourself a giant bowl and just going to town. Guessipe 3 boneless skinless chicken thighs Salt and pepper to taste 2 cups…
Sherry Cream Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
A friend of mine made these brussels sprouts for a Friendsgiving dinner one year. The combination of sherry, cream, bacon, and mushrooms made a richly nuanced sauce that was wonderful on the brussels sprouts (but would also be good on pretty much anything). I forced him to teach me how to make this brussels sprouts…
Joe’s Special
Who is Joe? I’ve no idea, nor does my mom who made this dish often throughout my childhood. I’ve occasionally seen it on restaurant menus, but usually as a breakfast scramble. My mom’s version is lighter on the eggs, heavier on the ground beef. We ate it for dinner. Guessipe 2 lbs ground beef 2…
Mango Cornflake Granola
Granola is delicious, and as it turns out, very easy to make at home. I’ve added cornflakes to my Guessipe to give it some nice crunch. For the fruit, I used dried mangoes because I adore them, but you can use whatever dried fruit floats your boat. I also like dried cranberries, and sometimes go…
Baba Ganoush
Many years ago, I had an incredible Baba Ganoush (eggplant spread) at a friend’s Sukkot celebration, and I have since done my best to try to recreate its creamy, smoky goodness. This eggplant spread is great with pita bread or both raw and roasted vegetables. Guessipe 2 medium eggplants 8 cloves garlic 1/4 cup lemon…
Tomato Tart
My dad grows tomatoes in his garden. If I am lucky enough to see him in late summer, this means I get to go home with a bucket of wonderful vine ripened tomatoes. Which can be used to make this yummy tomato tart. If you’ve never had a tomato tart, think of it sort of…
Honey Spice Cornflake Crunch Chicken
I used to make this delicious spicy sweet chicken with skin-on bone-in chicken thighs, until one day I was in the mood to make them and happened to only have boneless skinless thighs on hand. One of the things I enjoyed about the dish was the crispness of the skin, so I decided to try…
Garlic Cheese Squash
If you buy a nice chunk of pecorino and have some leftover which you don’t want to go to waste, make this garlic cheese squash. It can be a veggie side, or just a great snack. When I make these, I tend to just munch them all down like chips. Crisp, cheesy goodness! Guessipe 1…
Tomato Salad
Good tomatoes don’t need much to become a bright and fresh summer salad. Tomato salad may be one of those salads that actually gets better over time, as the juices release from the tomatoes and all the flavors meld. The liquid that is leftover after you’ve eaten all the tomato is so good that I’ll…
Quinoa Tabbouleh
This was inspired by the tabbouleh I’ve had at Middle Eastern restaurants, but with quinoa instead of bulgur. It’s got a clean, fresh feel with lots of crunch from the cucumbers and just a touch of sweetness coming through the acidity of the lemon juice and tomatoes, but it also feels hearty. Since it has…
Parmesan Fried Eggs
Ever buy a nice chunk of Parmesan to grate over a pasta dish, and then wonder what you could do with the remainder? Use it to make this awesome Parmesan fried eggs breakfast, which will feel and sound fancy if you’re making brunch for someone, but is actually so easy to make that you could…
