Broccoli Tofu Stir-Fry

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jan 3, 2011 at 5:13pm

I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly magazine. As lovely as lighter fare was sounding then, it is even truer now – right? No worries, this dish still packs a big flavor punch. Feeling weighed down by holiday treats? Yeah. With several days of delicious indulgence to go, I…

Swedish Meatballs (Gluten-free)

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Dec 29, 2010 at 2:21pm

Swedish meatballs make a scrumptious main dish or festive party appetizer – your call. Tender, fragrant with allspice and nutmeg, and bathed in a lightly creamy sauce, everyone goes wild for them. Only you need to know that they’re not complicated to make, and as a bonus, they’re pretty cheap eats, too. If you serve…

Uh, I’m clearly having a Tex-Mex moment. No, I am not pregnant. I’m just cold and wanting to fire up the ol’ tastebuds… And, I reached into Homesick Texan for the chile con queso recipe below, and just happened to pull out a recipe for classic Tex-Mex enchilada gravy as well. What can I say?…

I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. I know it’s a crazy-busy time of year, which makes it nice to have a quick, nourishing recipe to turn to for a satisfying dinner. Plus: I don’t know about you, but spicy food tastes extra delicious when it’s zero degrees…

Hearty Chicken Chowder for a Blizzard!

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Dec 11, 2010 at 11:05am

Oooh, a Minnesota blizzard!  Despite a reputation for otherwise, blizzards don’t happen all that often ’round these parts, so it’s rather a big deal.  And fun!  At least if you’re inside, well-stocked, with a stack of good movies or books. I happened to have chicken, chicken stock, and a few vegetables in the fridge, so…

Beef Braised in Coconut Milk

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Nov 11, 2010 at 8:04am

I’ve always been a coconut fiend, but I am having a particular moment with coconut milk this fall. I’m pretty much obsessed with it. Some will caution against coconut milk’s saturated fat content, but worry not – the short- and medium-chain fatty acids in coconut milk are great for you. And oh my goodness the…

Using Creme Fraiche Part III: Amanda Hesser’s Lemon Chicken (with Walnut Green Beans)

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Oct 28, 2010 at 12:48pm

OK, assuming that you used about 1/2 cup total of creme fraiche for Part I: Softly Scrambled Eggs and Part II: Sauteed Apple with Honey, you should be all set to finish off the container with this dish. And if not – who cares? This chicken is so obscenely delicious that it would totally be…

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Oct 24, 2010 at 6:23am

I’m making these today at the Minneapolis Farmers Market – come out and visit! The demonstration is at 10:30 a.m., rain or shine. In fact, because it will be raining, we’ll be next to Blue Gentian Farm’s stall, under red roof #3. Handy, since I’ll be preparing a big ol’ rack of Blue Gentian Farm…

Grilled Shrimp Tostadas with Spicy Slaw

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Oct 12, 2010 at 3:45pm

I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. It may be mid-October, but it’s still warm enough to grill & chill outside. Strange, but we’ll take it, so go for the grill – yes! Warm sun, cool breezes, my favorite time of year has arrived! Open windows, evening walks,…

Pot Roast with Sherry, Onions, Thyme, & Sour Cream

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Sep 19, 2010 at 6:30pm

OK, I gave in, but just a teeny tiny bit. I’m still grilling, but I was so chilly last night and today that somehow a chuck roast found its way into my grocery cart and lo, a pot roast was born. We need some braising birth control around here stat – aka sunshine! warmth! –…
