Roasted Tomato and Chicken Stew with White Beans

It’s no secret that I love soup. What’s not to like about it? Easy to make, you can use scraps from your kitchen, they’re usually healthy, and make great leftovers. Win, win, win, WIN in my opinion. Two weekends ago it was cold here in SF, and I was craving an Italian-style soup, but one [...]

Recipe: Bucatini with meatballs and homemade tomato sauce

A couple weeks ago, Lara from Simply Irresistible posted two pasta recipes that looked SO good. Well, I mean, all of her recipes look really good, but I must’ve been craving pasta, because the minute I saw these, I wanted to make them right then and there. Which is weird, because at home, Joe and [...]

Recipe: Hearty Stuffed Peppers

Do you have a recipe that you often forget about, but whenever you make it, you want to kick yourself for not preparing it more because it’s so easy and so delicious?

Joe was out of town all last weekend, and even though he wasn’t scheduled to get home until a little late Monday night, I promised him I’d have something waiting for him on the .01% chance that the airplane food wasn’t horrible. He assured me that as it’d be late, he probably wouldn’t be that [...]

Recipe: Risotto with asparagus, fresh shelling peas and lemon

This is a post with some seriously good eats. The not so serious part? It’s extremely easy to make, as long as you carve out some time for yourself on a weekend evening, and are totally, 100% committed to putting a lot of love into your food. If you can manage these first two requirements, [...]

Broke and Hungry

Broke and Hungry is a recently launched blog written by my good high school buddy Jeff. Given that he’s a city planning and public policy whiz kid (in addition to consulting, check out this new firm he just launched–the guy’s been doing a lot of launching, now that I think about it), it was a [...]
