Recession Recipes

After enjoying the Kogi BBQ Tacos last week, I came up with a new way to enjoy the salty and sweet Kogi BBQ sauce for breakfast. Inspired by the Pulled Baby-Back Ribs Eggs Benedict, I chopped up a leftover pork chop and whipped up some of the Kogi BBQ sauce for it. We had some [...]

Today I got up early and headed to our local Albertsons, where they were roasting Hatch green chiles for the weekend. Thank god I got up early because they only had 250 sacks direct from Gillis Farm in Hatch, New Mexico and they had already sold 230 on Saturday. It turns out that I got [...]

Carlo sometimes makes fun of me for using strange English words that he has never heard of before and which he thinks I make up. For example, he never believed that there was such a word as impetigo until Amy Winehouse got blasted for being all scabby.
Another word he thinks that I made up is [...]

These days we eat eggs pretty much every day for breakfast. Back when I had a job, my breakfast usually consisted of some Kashi hot cereal eaten at my desk because I never had time to eat at home before heading to the office, late as usual. So now that I have unhurried mornings where [...]

There is nothing better than waking up on the weekend and making yourself a delicious breakfast to start the day. We used to go out all the time for breakfast, but to cut back, we have been cooking our own breakfasts at home more often.
I’ve been surprised to find that I like breakfast at home [...]

Maybe it is the English in me, but there sometimes isn’t anything better tasting than a nice slice of toast with butter and jam. So many jams that you buy [...]

Chilaquiles is one of my favourite things to eat for breakfast. Seriously, what could be a better combination than tortilla chips, spicy sauce, and eggs? I could perhaps eat these everyday and be perfectly content (even though I would probably be the size of a house!).
This Chilaquiles al Guajillo recipe is from Rick Bayless, who [...]

We are dogsitting in Boulder City for a few days, and I miss our kitchen and having my days revolve around cooking and eating. I’m a bit hung over from staying up far too late last night watching Planet Earth and drinking wine with Carlo, so looking at these pictures of the Smoked Salmon and [...]

We are always on the look out for great breakfast recipes that we can make on the weekends because both of us could perhaps eat breakfast food for every meal. A couple of months ago, Esquire Magazine came out with an article on the best breakfast joints in America. In addition to the great breakfast [...]

I never used to eat breakfast much, but I’ve been on roughly a four-year fascination kick with eggs. Over the past several months, I’ve made several frittatas on Sunday nights so I’ve got breakfast made for a few days during the week. There’s not a lot of rhyme or reason to the recipes, I tend [...]
