Always on the lookout for another way to serve chicken wings, I read quite a few recipes before the “big day”. I am of course referring to Superbowl Sunday, unquestionably the biggest day of the year for chicken wing consumption. According to the National Chicken Council‘s 2012 Wing Report (really, I am not making this… Continue reading Grilled Chicken Wings Mole

Braised Pork Belly with Cherry Sauce
Happy Anniversary to She Cooks, He Cleans! We published our first post on February 1, 2011 and we’ve made it for an entire year! We appreciate all the support everyone has given us, and every day we are amazed to see how the blog has grown. The blog started as a way to share our… Continue reading Braised Pork Belly with Cherry Sauce
Shrimp and Corn Chowder
Modified from Bon Appétit / Epicurious Since our wedding anniversary is also New Year’s Eve, we decided to have a pre-anniversary get together with friends to usher in the New Year a day early. We snacked from a table of nuts, cheese, and bacon-wrapped stuffed dates to help soak up all the alcohol from the… Continue reading Shrimp and Corn Chowder
Citrus and Avocado Salad
Modified from Food and Wine With this recipe, I have achieved something that I never have before – getting Mr. “He Cleans” to enjoy avocado. He is repulsed by every form of guacamole, from homemade to that prepared table-side by flamboyant Spanish-speaking servers in the heart of New Mexico. Neither does he appreciate the rich,… Continue reading Citrus and Avocado Salad
Jalapeno and Pimento Cheese Ball
The new year has arrived, and it is time for us to get cooking again! While it would have been more helpful, perhaps, to post this cheese ball recipe BEFORE all the holiday parties, I’ll go with the “better late than never” philosophy. Of course, you don’t have to wait for a party to have… Continue reading Jalapeno and Pimento Cheese Ball
Sausage Cheese Balls (gluten-free)
One of my favorite holiday food memories is from spending the night at my cousin LuAnn’s house every year. Her mother, Norma, always had plenty of delicious, homemade treats in the house around Christmas, and we thought we were so clever sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night to gorge on fudge,… Continue reading Sausage Cheese Balls (gluten-free)
Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Soup
This is a nice, simple soup for a cool evening! This recipe is part of our feature on U.S. Wellness Meats, “Music and Meals to Warm You Up“. Visit their website for free-range chicken, grass-fed beef, and other great products! Although I haven’t tried it, coconut milk can probably be substituted for the heavy cream… Continue reading Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Soup
Roasted Delicata Squash “Fries”
I was negligent in not posting this simple, simple recipe for delicious delicata squash on our blog. The readers of our facebook page know that this is one of our new favorite side dishes (if you haven’t liked our facebook page…see, there’s one good reason you should!) With Thanksgiving coming up soon, everyone needs an… Continue reading Roasted Delicata Squash “Fries”
3-Cheese Crackers (grain-free)
Who doesn’t love snacking on cheesy crackers? It’s hard to stop eating these! I used a combination of cheddar, jack, and Parmesan cheeses, but I think you could substitute other cheeses as well for a different taste. Adding a little cayenne pepper gives them a little kick, and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt on… Continue reading 3-Cheese Crackers (grain-free)
Roasted Broccoli Cheddar Soup
This soup is really “Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower with Cheddar and Jack Cheese”, but that title isn’t very catchy. Whatever you call it, it is hearty and delicious, and will warm up your belly on a chilly day. There’s no flour thickener in this soup! Hand-blending the roasted vegetables in the pan thickened the soup,… Continue reading Roasted Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Primal Sandwich Bread 2.0
Like a cat with a new (catnip) toy, I had to play around some with the new bread recipe. I wanted to stick with the quick microwave method, but wanted the bread to be a little larger in diameter and have more flavor. I think this modification to the original recipe accomplishes that…give it a… Continue reading Primal Sandwich Bread 2.0
Oh baby, it’s a sandwich!
A sandwich! Two slices of bread, with practically anything in the middle. The filling could be as elaborate as layers upon layers of sliced meats and roasted vegetables, smeared with relishes, jams, or spicy condiments…or as simple as a bit of nut butter and honey. However, if it doesn’t have bread on the outside, I… Continue reading Oh baby, it’s a sandwich!
Grilled Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings
In my humble opinion, chicken wings are good any time of the day or night. You can have them as appetizers, set them out as party food, or make a complete meal of them for dinner. If there are any leftover (rarely), I will eat them for breakfast! We were having a craving for the… Continue reading Grilled Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings
Kefta Kabobs
aka Ground Beef with Moroccan Spices on a Stick Recipe adapted from Flavors of Morocco (by Ghillie Basan) and The New Book of Middle Eastern Food (by Claudia Roden) It’s been a while since we added a post to our ever-popular series, “Meat on a Stick” – this time we looked to North Africa and… Continue reading Kefta Kabobs
