Orange-Cranberry Bread

December 12, 2012December 27, 2016by Heather Schrader24 Comments

We had quite a few fresh cranberries leftover from Thanksgiving. I searched our cookbooks and the web for inspiration–trying my best to avoid the typical muffins, breads, and other sweets. I know, that sounds a little silly; but seriously, the holidays are so full of baked goodies, I wanted to make something different. Alas, my efforts to make craisins failed miserably, and the cranberry sauces and baked goods recipes abound.

Memphis Dry Rub Ribs

December 5, 2012July 21, 2015by Brent Schrader5 Comments

Ribs are one of my favorite things to cook and eat; I remember in middle school having the whole rack of baby bbq ribs at a restaurant on Broadway across the street from my grandmother’s apartment. My parents used to point out Jerry Stiller and Anne Merea (Ben Stiller’s parents, who happened to go there often) when we’d both happen to be there at the same time. I would take down the ribs and a chocolate moose, and I looked like a movie extra from Heavyweights.

Spinach-Prosciutto Chicken Roulade

November 28, 2012January 21, 2014by Brent Schrader1 Comment

Sometimes, chicken thighs get old. So, we recently decided to mix things up a bit. Instead of baking or grilling, we thought, why not transform these regular thighs into a roulade? I’m sure more people would use breast meat, but we love thigh meat and it’s what we had in our freezer.

This seemingly delicate dish takes time but its actually very easy to make. The only tricky part (in my opinion) is pinning the roulades just right with the toothpicks. Thankfully, Brent was very successful with that part.

Coq au Vin (sans Vin)

November 7, 2012July 24, 2013by Brent Schrader1 Comment

While visiting my parents in Virginia, we were lucky to visit the local farmer’s market. We found some great local produce as well as a few local farmers. This chicken (and our turkey on its way for Thanksgiving) is from Moving Meadows Farm, and it was absolutely delicious. I really am looking forward to the turkey later this month, as well as visiting them more often when we go to visit my parents.

Mushroom & Steak Wrap

October 21, 2012January 27, 2014by Brent SchraderLeave a comment

While visiting my parents in Virginia and taking advantage of the farmer’s market in their town, we needed to do something for lunch. My parents are supportive of our eating habits, but haven’t decided it’s time for them to take on the same dietary approach. Growing up in the midwest, I can totally appreciate that after 50+ years of eating a certain way without any pressing health issues they aren’t convinced what we are doing is necessary or right for them. They usually will eat what we make, and like it, so that’s one fewer meal full of grain and dairy. We ended up with thinly cut NY strip, even though we were looking for sandwich steaks–the strip was on sale and they didn’t have the other. Either way, this was a great lunch that was filling and finished in under 15 minutes.
