Quick and delicious weeknight meals
I found this recipe on Food & Wine’s website today. I was surprised how little time was required to make this Thai classic. The key to the dish is Asian fish sauce. For those of you who have not smelled Asian fish sauce, it does …
After tending to my meat sauce for a couple of hours on Saturday, I was not in the mood for a lot of cooking last night. Often on our way home from the Berkshires we stop at the Trader Joe’s in Danbury, CT. It’s so …
Fall has arrived in the Berkshires which means it’s time to break out my big green Le Creuset dutch oven. I cook few meals up here in the fall or winter that don’t involve this pot (thanks to Judy & Irv for the great gift!). …
