We don’t cook pork in our house very often. When we do, it’s typically either a picnic shoulder rubbed with zillion of spices and herbs and slowly roasted or thick cut bone-in chops. It has been a while since I made a good ‘ole pork stew. In fact, I can’t even remember when I did […]

Fish Chowder with White Beans
Can you think of a more comforting soup than chowder? I personally prefer creamy chowders to the tomato based ones, but no matter what you like, they are at the top of the list when you are in the mood for something hearty and soothing. Today I am cooking a chowder of my own, which […]

End of work week dinners are tricky. There aren’t that many things left in a fridge. In addition, I feel particularly lazy on Friday nights, looking for any excuse to get out of laboring in the kitchen. As a result, more often than not we end up waiting in line at some restaurant to get […]
