Whoa mama these are hot! Have you ever used chipotle peppers before? This was my first time and I only used one can (the original recipe called for two!). Chilaquiles is a chicken stew with tomatoes and peppers. You can find the canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in the Mexican food area near [...]

Roast Chicken Redemption

My first attempt at Chinese food and I say…yes! It worked! Even though I almost forgot to make the rice ahead of time, which then kept me up until 11:30 at night. But it was worth the lost hour of sleep.
I also used my wok for the first time and what a great piece of [...]

I improvised a lot with this recipe from Fine Cooking. Based on what I had and what we like to eat (I’m not a huge fan of prosciutto as the original recipe calls for).
