Yes, this is osso buco stew, not osso buco. Why? Mainly because sometimes I am lazy. I did not want to have to check it and baste it, especially since it was an amazing miracle that the pot I cooked it in even fit in my countertop oven. Yes, [...]
Hi!
I’m the gluten free husband, Ryan, and I decided today to muster up the courage and try a gluten free recipe on my own! That’s right – Jenn was nowhere to be seen during the making of this dish. I have been waiting on my new job to start and [...]

This dish is never served in restaurants anymore. It’s a total throwback to decades ago, and today it seems that it only appears at conference dinners at hotels. Nothing against mass produced hotel dinners, some of them can really be quite good, but unless a place is particularly reputed for their food, not many people [...]
The 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Simone of Junglefrog Cooking. Simone chose Salmon en Croute (or alternative recipes for Beef Wellington or Vegetable en Croute) from Good Food Online.
Now this month was a serious challenge!! I had to do it twice to get something even [...]
