Mushroom Tinga Burrito Bowls with Pickled Red Onion

May 23, 2019 No Comments

Burrito bowls are the perfect food. Sure, you could argue they’re not as good as actual burritos but you would be wrong. And you would be wrong because I think the bowl is a superior format and you have to agree with me. Not really, but for the purposes of this post, it would help if you did. Now, I’m sure a handful (all) of you haven’t given the whole tortilla vs. bowl faceoff much thought. Well, lucky for you I have. Boy, do I have some opinions, and yes, I will be sharing them with you. If you ever considered lapsing into a coma, now would be the time. Don’t worry there is a skip to the recipe button below if you’re in it purely for the Mushroom Tinga Burrito Bowl and not the bizarre ramblings of a food-obsessed 30-something. You do you.

Sticky Chicken Tostadas with Smoky Pepita Spread

May 9, 2019 No Comments

Can we make Tostada Thursdays a thing? I mean, if tacos can conquer Tuesdays, why can’t Tostadas rule Thursdays? Tostadas may not be as familiar as the ever-popular taco, but they are just as good. And I’m sure this whole Taco Tuesday phenomenon is doing nothing for the tostadas’ self-esteem. Sure, tostadas are traditionally made with day-old tortillas and yes, they are not exactly an eat-with-your-hands-friendly snack. But they are capable of just as much deliciousness as their taco brethren. And as evidence of that fact, I put forward these Sticky Chicken Tostadas with Smoky Pepita Spread. One bite of these babies and you’ll forget all about tacos.

Chipotle Hot Wings with Cucumber-Avocado Dip

May 1, 2019 No Comments

Chicken wings are the perfect party food. Okay, that may be a touch too enthusiastic; it’s hard to imagine anyone nibbling daintily on one at a funeral. But chicken wings are the perfect party food for a particular type of party. I’m not going to say they’re perfect for a Super Bowl party or something equally jocky because, aside from being painfully obvious, it’s far too limiting. I think wings are capable of so much more than that. Having said that, I did make today’s Chipotle Hot Wings as a companion to a Toronto Raptor’s playoff game. But I have on numerous occasions made wings for non-sporting events and served them to sports-adverse humans with great success. Everyone loves wings, so why relegate them exclusively to man caves and sports bars. Free the wing!

Scallion Yogurt Rigatoni with Citrus Cured Egg Yolks

April 24, 2019 No Comments

Not all my ideas start out as good ones. Take this Scallion Yogurt Rigatoni for instance. Looks good, doesn’t it? Kind of classy even. I mean, it certainly wouldn’t be out of place in a date night scenario. Do you want to know how it started life? You probably don’t but I’m going to tell you anyway. This semi-elegant, all-over delicious pasta dish was originally a sorry substitute for sour cream and onion potato chips. I had a craving but I couldn’t justify caving. So, I did the next best thing, I channeled that craving into something equally cravable but a little more dinner appropriate: pasta.
