Garlic & Sage Rotisserie Chicken

I love posting recipes here on NOH. Not only because I get to share some delicious recipe for you to recreate at home, but because it usually means that Charlie S. (a regular commenter here) is going to share something amazingly insightful about his personal cooking knowledge, which is seemingly vast and wonderfully delicious. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy reading his comments and learning from... read more

Buttermilk Pancakes from Scratch

Pancakes are one of the true American breakfasts that people here in Germany just don’t seem to get. They do appreciate crepes, especially around Christmas, and fill them with all sorts of delicious things. But they are far from real pancakes. On the very few occasions that we have seen “pancakes” on the breakfast menu of a restaurant here, they ended up being crepes. And I don’t... read more

Simple chicken taco chili

I was wandering around on the web last week and came across a recipe that I just had to try on Simple Organized Living (which is always chock full of great simple living tips). But seeing as I’m not able to leave well enough alone, I had to tweak the recipe a bit. And as you become familiar in your own kitchen, that’s partially what it’s all about. You develop the ability to modify... read more

Homemade taco seasoning

Last week I wanted to try out a new recipe and I realized I had absolutely no taco seasoning at home. This really doesn’t come as such as an enormous surprise to me since I generally don’t use a seasoning packet to make tacos. In fact, I’m not really sure I’ve ever bought an actual packet of taco seasoning in my life. It’s not really something I’ve seen too often in... read more

Hot mushroom turnovers & a gadget

One of the not really essential items I ordered from Tupperware a few weeks ago is this little gadget called a Teigfalle. It’s basically a little dough folder that assists in making things like turnovers. When they showed it to us at the Tupperware party, turnovers with ham, cheese and cream filling were being served. I envisioned making little apple turnovers with them and pizza... read more

Chocolate French Toast with Berry Syrup

While we were still on vacation between Christmas and New Years, I was flipping through one of my cookbooks, hoping to come across something new and interesting to try out. Sara Moulton Cooks at Home has often caught my attention, but I just never managed to put any of the recipes on my list. But when I left the cookbook open to Ruthie’s Chocolate French Toast with Raspberry Sauce, Stefan immediately... read more

Leftover steak sandwiches

After I posted about how much we’d enjoyed the grillades we made with T-bone steak leftovers, Charlie Sommers, whose comments you may have seen before full of incredible recipe suggestions, told me that his favorite thing to make with steak leftovers are sandwiches, especially when it’s the larger roast side of the t-bone. If you have leftovers from this great piece of meat, cooked medium or ... read more

Tiffany’s Hearty Lasagna

I have been on a journey to find a hearty, delicious lasagna recipe for a LONG time. If you search for lasagna on NOH, you will find several recipes, none of which ever really lived up to my expectations. I wanted lots of chunks and I add lots of layers of noodles. I find lasagna that is just a watery meat sauce , ricotta cheese and noodles absolutely boring. My lasagna is a meal, packed with flavor,... read more

Homemade Goose Stock

By now you’ve undoubtedly caught on to the fact that I am addicted to making broth from leftover poultry bones. I have made some mighty fine chicken noodle soup and chicken soup with rice over the past year and since we had a huge goose on Christmas day, I just couldn’t let those bones go to waste. I’m not 100% certain what I will do with all this goose stock yet (it made 16 cups worth),... read more

10 Chicken Recipes we LOVE

When I started putting this list together, I had no idea just how many great chicken recipes I’ve tried over the last few years. I rediscovered a few that we really loved but somehow forgot about once I’d made them the first time (thanks to millions of other fantastic recipes out there that I always want to try) and also included a bunch of them that are just staples in our house. I probably... read more
