Cilantro Pesto Pasta

Published by Rachel June 30th, 2007 in Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex, Italian, Poultry, Vegetarian, 5 Stars, Family Recipe, Grill, Kid Approved, Entertaining and Pasta. 0 Comments

The inspiration for this recipe came from a recipe from Cooking Light, but we’ve adapted the original recipe to create our own family favorite. If you’re vegetarian or don’t have any chicken on hand, omit the chicken, and it’s still delicious. Definitely a crowd pleaser, and if you omit the serrano, it’s very […]

Tomatillo Tartar Sauce

Here’s another recipe from those recipe cards at the grocery store. This recipe has great promise, the flavors are really great, but next time we will substitute sour cream for the mayo…neither of us cared much for the mayo flavor. We served the tartar sauce over some wonderful rockfish fillets, but this sauce […]

Thai-Style Chicken Biriyani

Published by Rachel June 28th, 2007 in Asian, Poultry, One Pot, 3 Stars and Kid Approved. 0 Comments

This recipe comes from the July 2007 Saveur magazine. It had really good flavor, but if we make it again then we’ll use boneless chicken instead of bone in chicken. It was kid friendly, so that’s a super big plus, and because of that we will likely make it again. The marinade […]

Coconut Lentil Curry

This lentil curry dish is delicious, and it’s super easy to make. It’s spicy, so if you don’t care much for spicy food, you’ll want to hold back on the curry paste. If you entertain a lot of vegetarians, this is a good recipe to serve. This recipe is from www.28cooks.blogspot.com
Ingredients:
