Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Curry over Seventeen Grain Rice Dinner October 30, 2009 I don’t think I can ever be a vegetarian as I like meat so much, but I do enjoy good vegetarian dishes once in a while. It’s always a challenge to make and find a good, flavorful vegetarian dish, though. This curry [...]

Halloween Cupcakes with Ghosts, Spiders, and Eyeballs… October 24, 2009 I had fun making these Halloween-inspired cupcakes.

Steak with Caramelized Onion and Yuzu Mustard Sauce Dinner October 25, 2009 Steak is still one of my favorite foods. The sauce was made with caramelized onion, yuzu mustard, sake, sugar, soy sauce, and butter. It’s sweet and spicy, and a hint of yuzu (very flavorful citrus fruit popular in Japan) flavor was just wonderful. [...]

Sunday, October 25, 2009

Sausage & Grapes Braised in Red Wine Lunch October 25, 2009 Another great recipe from “All About Braising” by Molly Stevens. The sauce made from red wine and grapes tasted nicely complicated.

Pumpkin Spice Bread October 11, 2009 Yes, I have to make pumpkin bread at least once this season. There are various spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, in this bread, and I really liked their flavors together. This bread turned out very moist.
