Homemade ravioli is one of those home cooked meals you just have to make at some point. It doesn’t take a lot of work, it’s a ton of fun, and you can use all sorts of fillings! I’m using pancetta and asparagus in a brown butter sage sauce.

Sausage Cassoulet with Broccoli Rabe
A cassoulet is a classic slow cooked dish originating from the south of France which typically has pork or duck and white beans. I picked up some sage pork sausage from L. Halteman’s at Reading Terminal Market to make this Sausage Cassoulet with Broccoli Rabe. There’s so many great things you can make […]
Simple 2 Minute Omelette
I thought I’d do a little video this morning as I made my omelette.
Homemade Grass Fed Raw Milk Mozzarella
Homemade Grass Fed Raw Milk Mozzarella certainly is a mouthful. A mouthful of delicious accomplishment! I’ve always wanted to make cheese at home so I thought I’d give it a shot with some raw milk I picked up at the Fair Food Farmstand in Reading Terminal Market.
Mac and Cheese
What’s the secret to the richest, creamiest, silky smoothest Mac & Cheese? I’ve tried The Food Lab’s Ultra-Gooey Stovetop Mac and Cheese Recipe by Kenji López-Alt and it’s quite good. But, there’s kind of a lot of steps and ingredients and I’ve heard of this secret ingredient which is supposed to […]
Beef Stew with Guinness
This beef stew with Guinness recipe focuses on developing flavor by using different cooking techniques. The beef is first broiled, the onions are fried in olive oil and butter, and the potatoes are pre-cooked in salty water. Usually I make a beef stew a couple of times a year once the […]
Tomato Braised Chicken with Homemade Pappardelle
This recipe for chicken thighs braised in tomatoes with white beans, served over homemade pappardelle is one of my all time favorites. There’s something about the chicken fat melting in to the acidic tomatoes that melds in to one of the most under-appreciated sauces ever.
Chicken Nuggets
Once you’ve made these chicken nuggets at home, you’ll never get them at a fast food joint again. These really are so easy that you might find yourself making them two or three time a week.
Tilapia Fish Tacos
Tacos! What can’t you do with the blank slate that is the corn tortilla? And who the heck doesn’t love a taco?! I’ve lightly fried up some fish tacos for lunch today and, not only do they look pretty, they taste light and healthy. I’ve left out heavy, overwhelming ingredients like […]
A Taco Salad for Game Night
Whether you’ve got people over for The Final Four, The Super Bowl The Big Game, or just some Chutes and Ladders, this healthy Turkey Taco Salad comes together quick enough to feed a hungry group.
Revisiting the Pita Sandwich
Back in the eighties, it seemed like the pita sandwich was everywhere. I remember going to the tavern with my mom and they would serve their hamburgers on pita bread. That burger was awesome, I think, because it was so peculiar to be served on something other than a hamburger […]
Why you should put salt in your coffee.
I drink my coffee black. I make it for myself every morning from freshly ground coffee beans. And I like a deep, rich French roast. It was my first French roast coffee, Nestlé, imported from France back in 2003, that turned me off of using dairy and sugar in my […]
Sous-vide Steak from L. Halteman Family Country Foods
Shout out to one of my favorite places to spend money – food or otherwise. There’s a consensus in Philly that Halteman’s in Reading Terminal Market has the best beef in the city. They regularly have dry aged rib eye and usually wagu, all for reasonable prices. They’re stocked on all […]
Fannie Farmer White Bread
You wouldn’t think it’s possible but this bread is depressing. Although it took almost a full 24 hours to get here, this is the best bread I’ve ever made and one of the best I’ve had in my life. So, whatever circumstances that led to its creation, I know it’s unlikely […]
