Mixed Mashed Garlic Potatoes

Filed Under All, creamy, dinner, meatless | Leave a Comment

Mashed sweet potatoes are great, but they’re a little heavy. Mixing with russet makes for a flavorful, light, and tasty mash, with a crazy color never really intended to make its home on a plate. Boiled with the potatoes, the garlic becomes sweet and fragrant, without assaulting the palate. Mixed Mashed Garlic Potatoes serves 8 [...]

Grilled Ginger Leek Chicken

Filed Under All, creamy, grilled, meat | Leave a Comment

If your taste buds need a little pick-me-up, this is just the trick. The flavors are rich, complex, and exotic, but the recipe itself is the very picture of simplicity. 24 hours is best for marinating this chicken, so you should dunk the chicken in the marinade while you’re making dinner the night before. I’ve [...]

Ostrich Balls Stroganoff

Filed Under creamy, dinner, meat, pasta | Leave a Comment

Well, actually, it’s ostrich meatballs, but that’s not quite as eye catching, now is it? I found frozen ground ostrich at My Organic Market, a local health food grocery store; if you can’t find it, you can always order ground ostrich from our friends at Amazon. If you are very gentle when you shape the [...]

Grilled Rib-Eye Steak with Sweet Garlic

The alchemy of butter and slow heat transforms garlic cloves into confections in this elegant topping for grilled steaks. I call for Calvados, a brandy made from apples in Normandy, and you should use it if you can find it. It’s also great in a snifter. Grilled Rib-Eye Steak with Sweet Garlic serves 4 4 [...]

This is definitely a little more trouble than plain old baked potatoes, but the extra effort is rewarded eleventy-fold by the experience of diving through the crispy crust into the rich, creamy potato filling. You don’t have to have a steak with these, but if you do, make sure it’s a good steak. (Also, you [...]

Cheesy Buttermilk Corn Sticks

Filed Under All, breads, cheesy, meatless | 1 Comment

This is a very easy recipe, but you do need a Corn Stick Pan to make it work (get two; they’re cheap and you can make more sticks at a time). The taste of these corn sticks baked in these little pans in a very hot oven is the closest cornbread ever comes to being [...]
