Esquites – Mexican Corn Salad

Posted on August 9th, 2012 by Sarah

I’m kind of agnostic on fresh corn. It’s good and I’ll eat and like it if someone serves it to me, but I’m rarely moved to do anything with it myself. Plus, I get sick of flossing after a cob. … Continue reading →

Wild Rice & Broccoli Salad

Posted on May 10th, 2011 by Sarah

We finally got a grill! And we know how to use it and how to make most of the meaty deliciousness we plan on cooking with it. So…um, now what? We need accompaniments to the meat explosion. Nice, vegetabley salads … Continue reading →

Pecan Pie

Posted on December 31st, 2010 by cliff1976

Pecans are not the easiest thing to find here. Most of the ones you find are smoked or salted or candied or something and not suitable for pie-making. Sarah did find them once at Aldi, but we’ve been prepared this … Continue reading →

Lemon Bars

Posted on August 31st, 2010 by Sarah

We’ve never been able to make a really good lemon bar. Maybe that’s not exactly right – we’ve never made a lemon bar that we’ve thought was perfect. Either the lemon mixture wouldn’t gel, or they were impossible to remove … Continue reading →

Chicken Salad Wraps

Posted on April 9th, 2010 by Sarah

I love wrap sandwiches. When we’re anywhere with a Marks & Spencer food hall, I live on the things (mostly because those happen to be in England and it’s hella expensive there). So I wanted to try making my own. … Continue reading →

Oven Fries

Posted on March 23rd, 2010 by Sarah

I’ve been trying to get these right for a long time. After combining elements from several different recipes, I think I’ve finally hit on a winner. This recipe will probably make enough for four adult portions. 1 1/2 lbs medium … Continue reading →

Roasted Red Pepper & Orzo Soup

Posted on December 13th, 2009 by Sarah

While between jobs in Detroit, I worked for a few months at a place that served only soup – pretty good soup, too. They had one that, after I had decided it was my favorite, they quickly discontinued. With some … Continue reading →

Garlic Bread

Posted on November 8th, 2009 by cliff1976

Our Netto practically across the street from us has closed with very little warning (about a week). This is bad news; it means the only grocery store on the island is the Biomarkt next to the Netto. Not that the … Continue reading →

Dutch Apple Pie

Posted on November 1st, 2009 by cliff1976

Can you believe we’ve never made an apple pie before this weekend? Sarah found this recipe. I think it’s a keeper. I like the blend of elements from a traditional apple pie and apple crisp.

Sausage Gravy

Posted on September 12th, 2009 by Sarah

Well, we have a good biscuit recipe. Isn’t this the next logical step? This is not by any stretch of the imagination diet friendly, but it’s absolutely delicious. Plus, it’s enough work that you won’t want to make it that … Continue reading →
