Chicken parmesan is usually made with the traditional breading procedure: chicken dipped in flour, dipped in egg, then dipped in breadcrumbs.  Then it's pan fried.

Spanish Radicchio Salad with Manchego

One of the best things about living in Portland was the amazing restaurants.  My favorite of which was probably Toro Bravo.  I think I ate there more than any other restaurant in Portland.  It's a Spanish tapas type restaurant and I enjoyed it so much because most of the time the menu looked quite simple like "tomato rubbed toast" for example.  What came out was … [Read more...]

Ready, Set, Spinach

Looking for a super quick, delicious, healthy side dish? Ready… set… spinach. Reality, folks.  I make dishes like this all the time.  Sometimes I feel like I have to share elaborate, complicated, fancy dishes on the blog.  Maybe it's the overachiever/ perfectionist in me that feels like something has to be over-the-top or perfect to be well-received. But it doesn't.
