Mustardy Chicken Thighs with Farro, Brown Butter Squash, Kale, and Bacon
Last night I was in the weeds: it was five o’clock, we had dinner guests coming at seven, and I had eight chicken thighs, a bag of farro, two Delicata squash, kale, and some bacon. Two Google searches later — one that landed me on a Thomas Keller recipe for Farro and Black Rice with…

The Miracle of Mustard-Brown-Sugar Salmon

Quinoa with Leftover Chicken, Roasted Broccoli & Balsamic Vinaigrette
You may not believe me when I tell you this, but I made a quinoa dish two weeks ago that had us smacking our lips in delight. It started, as most great dishes do, with leftovers. Just a leftover roast chicken wrapped in aluminum foil. I had Craig do the ceremonial shredding, because he’s an…

Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Cream
This is not a recipe for the faint of heart. It’s a recipe you can only get away with in cold weather–VERY cold weather–and even then you may hear that spiky haired fitness guru from the 90s, Susan Powter, in your head screaming: “Stop the insanity!” Susan Powter has a point: you’re about to bake…
