Curry Meatballs

Cooks and Kid — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 10:00:08 +0000

Hygge is something that I have been intentionally trying to incorporate more into my life. If you are not familiar, Wikipedia defines it as “a Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment”. For me, hygge looks like slowing down and being in the moment....

Short Ribs with lots of Black Pepper and Onions

Dominique — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 11:00:39 +0000

It’s been a while since I posted a new recipe. Embarrassingly it has been almost 8 months. Parts of me feel like you can’t come back from that. Ultimately, I know that is that tiny devil on my shoulder trying to keep me from doing something that brings me joy and fulfillment. Yes, you read...

Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings

Dominique — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 10:00:02 +0000

I struggle with creating content that consists of easy 30 minute meals versus things that I actually want to eat. I think it’s pretty clear what usually wins. That is not to say everything I share on here is complicated because it’s not but may require a trip outside of your comfort zone. For example,...

Coconut Rice with Crispy Ginger and Garlic

Dominique — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 11:00:54 +0000

Being part Jamaican I have an affinity for coconut rice (ex. rice and peas). Coconut rice is fragrant and flavorful. It’s eaten all over the world from India to Columbia. Probably because it is a great complement to anything from curries to grilled meat. This recipe is punched up a bit with green onion, cilantro...

Blistered Long Beans

Cooks and Kid — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 10:00:59 +0000

Have you had Long Beans before? They are super long, and a much more meaty cousin of the average green bean. We frequently order these at our favorite Chinese restaurant, the dish there is called Dry Fried Green Beans and it is so addictive. The beans are crunchy, savory and have the tiniest touch of...

Grilled Sambal Chicken

Dominique — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 10:00:56 +0000

Sambal Oelek is the king of condiments in our house! We add it to marinades, to hummus, and just about any place we want to add some heat. Most would compare it to sriracha, but I disagree and I personally like it better than sriracha because it not only adds heat but adds more complex...

Grilled Corn, Tomato and Jalapeno Salad

Dominique — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 10:00:09 +0000

Corn is the epitome of summer. And if you are attending a BBQ, you can pretty much guarantee there will be corn. I definitely will admit that plain buttered corn, kind of bores me. Don’t get me wrong it is delicious, but the sweet, crisp kernels beg to be tossed in a salad. This Grilled...

White Pizza with Sausage, Fennel, and Onions

Dominique — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 10:00:07 +0000

Grilling pizza is a summer time favorite for us. This is a rift on the traditional pizza. Rendered spicy Italian sausage with caramelized fennel and Vidalia onions on top of ricotta and mozzarella. Cooking the crust twice, once to pre-cook it and the other with the toppings, allows the crust to get crispy, but also...

Celery Salad with Pecans and Pecorino

Dominique — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 10:00:24 +0000

Celery Salad with Pecans and Pecorino because it’s summer and we can all use another salad recipe in our arsenal. Especially one that is refreshing, easy to put together and unassumingly delicious. To be totally honest I am not a huge fan of celery. I tolerate it for the most part. This recipe is adapted...
