Is there anything better than chicken with crispy skin? I'm not sure there is. I got my tiny hands on some bone in skin on chicken thighs. I feel like the bone helps the meat hold some kind of shape and it can add a bit of extra flavor. I went super simple with this. … Continue reading Skilllet Crispy Skin Chicken
I know I am late with an update but I have been cooking all the things! We are going to start with the short ribs. They came out so perfect that I made them again for family dinner. It was one of those dinners where people don't talk because they are too busy shoving food … Continue reading Tiny Short Ribs
The wedge is my most favorite of the salads. The old standards are quite often the best! I really am a 1950's housewife in my heart. Honestly, it is the most basic of salads but it can still be fancy. We have talked about this before. We have grilled romaine and radicchio, we have used … Continue reading The Wedge
I have decided that I love my Cook's Illustrated magazines! I still feel like the recipes are above my skill level but they do have awesome tid bits. I've talked about tid bits and bits and bobs before, now I have a couple of new ones. This first one is called "Magic Butter Sauce". It … Continue reading A new thing, new to me at least
I found this recipe in Cook's Illustrated. I was gifted a subscription and honestly most everything is above my skill set. This one has limited ingredients and steps so I was confident that I could pull it off. I did make this at the main house but I bet I could do it in my … Continue reading Chicken Yassa
Soup is a great way to use up the bits from the fridge. Soup can also be a great way to use up the garden before the weather turns. I happened across some sexy leeks on a great sale so I loaded up! I love leeks just by themselves. Crispy, braised, sauteed, baked, grilled. There … Continue reading Potato Leek Soup- Tiny Edition
Beef stroganoff is one of our favorites. Who doesn't love a creamy, mushroomy, oniony kind of sauce with beef and served over noodles? It's all the things that are good in one bowl! I picked this for a date night dinner as it had been ages since I had made it. With only 2 burners … Continue reading Beef Stroganoff
We are going to talk about the tiny kitchen! I mentioned that I only had 2 induction burners that I had to watch a video about how to use. I had a microwave and a toaster oven. The toaster oven set off the smoke detector every time. Turns out it was a heat detector instead … Continue reading Stir Fry
Ok, one last tomato recipe and a pause on the side dishes. I am excited to tell y'all about the tiny kitchen creations so this will be our last 'mater dish. I don't always want a sandwich but sometimes the bits left around the kitchen lend themselves to being stuck between two slices of bread. … Continue reading Tomato Sandwich with Herbed Cream Cheese
If there is a veg that I love as much as the tomato, which isn't a veg at all, it would have to be the cucumber! She is so versatile. She can be pickled, sauteed, grilled, juiced, sliced into water or eaten raw. This is another simple salad. By simple in this case I mean … Continue reading Cucumber Salad
