Carne Asada Tacos
Dean came in from Birmingham to watch the new Severance episode live with me and Jacob, so I had to make a meal worthy of the occasion. Picked up flank steak from Evergreen Butcher & Baker, made fresh tortillas, and…
My Table
Bang Bang Chicken & Rice
Crispy chicken tossed in a creamy chili sauce, served over rice with a sprinkle of chives. Made this once and immediately knew it was going in the rotation.
Chicken Fricassee with Pommes Aligot
Golden-seared chicken thighs simmered in white wine and stock, served over silky, stretchy pommes aligot made with plenty of butter and cheese. Finished things off with a crackly-topped crème brûlée and a slow night in with friends.
Beef Wellington
Tackled a beef Wellington with Dean and Deacon—tenderloin from Evergreen, mushroom duxelles, prosciutto, and crisp puff pastry. Served with roasted potatoes and asparagus. One of the most satisfying things I’ve ever made.
Steak Frites
Valentine’s Day dinner: NY strip with hand-cut fries and a silky béarnaise sauce. Crisp edges, tender center, and a good excuse to make something a little extra.
Smash Burgers
Smashed thin and stacked with crispy bacon, melted American cheese, and sizzling onions. Served on toasted buns with homemade chips and a cold Coke.
New Mexican Breakfast Burrito
Last fall break, Dad, Dean, and I went to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and got hooked on the classic New Mexican breakfast burrito. Flour tortilla, scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, cheese, bacon, and green chile sauce. Delicious.
Crab Cake Benedict
Crab cake benedict on sourdough with poached eggs.
