Lately I’ve been broiling everything, but especially chicken. We don’t eat a whole lot of meat at home, but I’d been craving chicken tacos, so I used some dried guajillo chilies I had lying around to make a really gorgeous marinade. Then I stuck them in a cast iron under the broiler for the most amazing crispy top. I used some of my garden radishes for topping and these were incredible! You barely need any toppings to make these tacos great, and this recipe is pretty simple.

Chicken Tikka Masala is no small feat to make. It’s taken me a lot of time and research to come up with a version that finally feels right. Nothing I ever made could amount to an Indian restaurant version, but if you’re craving that delicious creamy tomato-y gravy at home, this recipe is for you. The chicken method I use is so good, you could honestly just eat it right out of the pan and skip the gravy. But avoid temptation, and make the sauce! It’s salty, creamy, and delicious.

Guajillo chilis were a mystery to me until recently. As we navigate this new normal of pandemic shopping, I’ve been buying some of my groceries from the loveliest restaurants selling produce and meat. On a recent online order from a neighborhood restaurant, I saw guajillo chilis and was intrigued. This is something I’ve only seen or heard of in Tex-Mex cooking, but I had no idea how to prepare them, especially since they’re dried. I put some in my cart and never looked back. This chili is slightly smoky, not too spicy since I bought the larger milder version, and has a beautiful flavor that pairs well with any meat. So far I’ve made ground beef tacos and pulled chicken using the chilis, and it’s been nothing short of incredible. But there are some definite tricks on how to use them!

A few months ago I made Dorie Greenspan’s Moroccan Spiced Chickpea and Noodle Soup, which hit all the marks. It was flavorful, it had chickpeas, lentils, pasta, heaps of spices and simmered all day on the stovetop. The only downside was the amount of time it took to simmer. I love a good all day cooking-fest, but for most of you, that’s not possible, and I completely understand. With that in mind I made a similar flavored dish. This One Pot Moroccan Chicken and Orzo is quick with easy cleanup. It’s just baked in the oven and left alone so you can go on with your life!

This is where my blog peaks, and no other recipe will live in infamy like this miso butter and mushroom orecchiette. Which I have misspelled and spelled again fifteen times since writing this post. ORECCHIETTE. Why so many letters? I’m here to tell you that this pasta is an umami bomb. The savory miso butter…
Sam once told me he didn’t like carrots, which I took as a challenge to craft the most delicious carrot recipe that even the most dedicated carrot-hater couldn’t hate. I used to hate a lot of vegetables until I found out that everything is good roasted. Everything. Even a brussels sprout. I made this amazing…
Hi Friends! Every year I fall in love with autumn all over again, and I’m reminded why. I took a step outside and watched the rain fall on a big oak tree in our backyard while all the yellowed leaves fell to the ground. It smelled like dirt and leaves and those scented crayons that…
