Thank you for sharing a pasta primavera recipe not loaded with the 2 veggies I hate: squash and bell peppers. Read more

There is not a single part of this sentence that does not confuse me: “Vegetables are usually an afterthought on a pork bulgogi plate, but at Ham Hung they play in the same stadium as the main meal.”  How on earth is Korean food being served in the US? Read more

One of my sisters is married to a chef you’ve heard of and he slings a bulgogi I had last weekend that is orgasmic, and you’re right, he could serve legos with that beef and not lose a bit.

One of the easiest ways to improve canned green beans is to warm them up in some beef broth. Add minced garlic and a splash of Worcestershire, and you’vea side dish worth eating in less than ten minutes. Read more

Absolutely! Why do you think Southerners have been throwing stuff like smoked ham hocks into their green beans or collard greens since forever ? ‘cause it’s good. Read more

I just made a Cajun sausage, red potato, and fresh green bean crock pot. Chicken stock on the bottom and butter on top...and seasoning.👋👏👋 Read more

I maintained as a child that Beef Broccoli was an affront to my mouth because it wasted perfectly good beef by infecting it with broccoli flavors... or something. Being, in addition, a supreme brat, I told my mom I would only eat Beef Broccoli if the beef was cooked separately from the broccoli, which, being a saint,… Read more

I recently started throwing in broccoli slaw in with my ground beef for ramen noodle bowls, and it was a discovery. Not only does it make for a more filling meal but it also saves me from having to prepare separate veggie sides because I’m just that fucking lazy. I also started doing this with ground chicken and pesto… Read more

A wise and ancient culture. The lost boys and girls of the decadent West who wash up in my kitchen who think they don’t like vegetables learn to love them using this method. Read more

This is a great article. I had 4 or 5 immediately jump to mind, and you nailed them all. And all the others are solid choices, too. Read more

In addition to chipotles, I also love canned green chiles. One small can of green chiles + one can of black beans = delicious side dish. Read more

I’m a big sardine booster - my favorite way to eat them is tossed, along with their oil, with lemon juice, crispy romaine, thinly sliced red onion, grape tomatoes, and chick peas (another can!). Delicious and nutritious. Read more

Our canned food is nothing compared to the conservas in Spain and Portugal. Read more

Would stuffed shells be like lasagna or it’s own BDSM scenario. Same for manicotti. Read more

Damn, this brought out some feels. My ex got me a pasta roller attachment, and he used to go to town on whatever I made. Butternut squash and roasted garlic ravioli, linguine with tomato-tarragon cream sauce, lasagna with broccoli rabe and homemade red sauce... Read more

Where (dare I ask) do we file linguine with clam sauce ?

The gnocchi story *chef kiss* Read more

An Italian man I had a one-night stand with asked me on a real date made me red sauce he cooked for like 12 hours. It is still one of the most thoughtful things anyone has done for me. Read more

I’m having vivid flashbacks to the boyfriend who was a professional chef and as his seduction power move early on made us a dinner of lobster ravioli from scratch. And yes we were super in love for a long while but also yes he turned out to be a massive alcoholic and coke head.  Read more
