Broiled Salmon

June 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Mat brought home a big, beautiful salmon. The catch? {pardon the pun} It was bone-in, fin-on, tail-on, but headless. I don’t think I ever officially boned and de-finned a fish before, but I do remember my dad teaching us how to clean fish growing up. He loved to fish! At any rate, I gave it [...]

Roasted Turkey Skillet

May 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Mat bought a 20 lb turkey. I smiled, nodded, and began thinking of all the ways we’d be eating roasted turkey for the next year. Tonight, I separated some of the turkey meat into chunks and added a few other ingredients for a simple skillet dinner. Charlie wasn’t super impressed, but I think her molars [...]

Chicken in a Skillet

May 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Our favorite grocery store had a ridiculously massive meat sale over the weekend. Mat and I were sure to take full advantage of it {if only we had a big freezer!}. There were quite a few BOGO deals, one being whole fryer chickens. So I happily nabbed those. I decided to try cooking the bird [...]

May 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Luckily, there is a section on their website that is dedicated just to recipes! Sweet, savory, snacks, and recipes for any time of [...]

Easter Lamb

April 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I planned our Easter menu later than I normally would have, and had to make changes midstream. We purchased a 5.75 lb bone-in leg of lamb, and I was going to try Alton Brown’s recipe “Silence of the Leg O’ Lamb“, using our grill. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to use the grill so we instead [...]

Tantalizing Turkey Tacos with Star Anise

March 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

This recipe is {so far} my favorite from the Secrets of a Skinny Chef cookbook by Jennifer Iserloh I was able to review a few weeks back. In our family, really you cannot go wrong with tacos – fully loaded! These tacos are juicy and flavorful, while still being high in protein/low in fat. Make [...]
