5 Meals to Cook This Week #1
I talk a lot about food. I talk to everyone I meet about food — online and in real life. Want to know the most common complaint I hear about cooking? Planning. I’d wager that at least half of us really, really dislike the planning part of cooking. Decision fatigue is a real problem in modern…
Read MoreSpicy Chicken, Quinoa, and Broccoli Casserole
Y’all, we really all oughtta be eating more casseroles. (Whoa, when I first read that back, my brain read “eating more assholes” which is not something we necessarily need to be doing.) I feel like casseroles have gone out of favor since I was a kid. Probably because they’re all heavily dependent on noodles, or bread, or…
Read MoreJackfruit Tinga Tostadas
I’ve wanted to experiment with green jackfruit for years — since I tried some vegan bbq jackfruit at a party once. This is a riff on chicken tinga which is from Puebla, Mexico: shredded chicken in a chipotle sauce. This jackfruit tinga uses the same sort of sauce made from onion, tomato and chipotle. It’s very…
Read MoreChorizo fried rice
Chorizo fried rice is great for a quick breakfast or breakfast-for-dinner. I’d heard of bacon fried rice before and I had some really excellent chorizo in the fridge and I figured bacon and chorizo have about the same amount of fat so it ought to work. And it does. See??? Here’s picture proof! The recipe…

A desire to be gentler to other living things. An increased tenderness towards all creatures — human, animal, insect — just trying to…
Read MoreChile de Arbol Salsa Recipe
I’ve been working on this chile de arbol salsa (what we call “hot sauce” in the US) for at least five years. My first serious notes about it are dated summer of 2012, but I’d been trying out variations before then. Watch the salsa video on YouTube! (scroll down for recipe) You may not know, when…

Read MoreSkillet Chicken Fajitas
A quick and dirty skillet chicken fajitas recipe. Cutting the chicken into strips first lets the marinade get in there faster, but if you wanted to grill these chicken fajitas, leave the breasts or thighs whole and marinate at least 1 hour, and up to 6 hours (refrigerated, of course). I use a combination of…
