Have you noticed it seems I’ve taken a little vacay from the kitchy kitch (eeek, sorry) lately? I have, I know, and it’s got me a little down. These past couple of weeks, our dinners have revolved around things like enormous salads, frozen ravioli and scrambled eggs. All delicious, of course, but hardly interesting fodder for a food blog. Which… Which! Makes me positively giddy to announce that today I’m stepping back into the kitchen to test a whole buncha new recipes to share in the weeks to come. There’ll be more sweet potato goodness (as if this and this … Read More

Huevos con Soyrizo with Two-Potato Hash
First, a reminder: have you voted for the Pig & Quill in Cook Taste Eat’s Facebook contest yet? Voting closes Friday, and I am dreadfully behind, so if you could pull out all the stops and convince everyone know you to vote, that’d be great. On the line: an opportunity to cook and film with celeb-chef and restauranteur Michael Mina, so it’s kind of a big deal. Thanks! On with the post. Sometimes Mondays kind of suck. Sometimes they don’t. I’ll let you guess which kind of Monday I had. Did you guess the sucky one? Geez, I guess that’s more … Read More
Moroccan Braised Bison Meatball Stew and a plea for votes
— Thanks to all who voted for The Pig & Quill! This contest is now closed. — I made the second round in Cook Taste Eat’s 365 Everyday Value Coconut Milk recipe contest!

Enfuso Smoked Olive Oils (Live, from my sofa, it’s Saturday night!)
So it’s Saturday night, of a long weekend, no less, and what am I doing? Sitting on the couch in a dimly lit living room eating yet another Brussel sprout salad (this one, I promise you, is even better than the last) and bathing in the whitish glow of my laptop screen. (MacTanning, I’m calling it. Great for creating that bloodshot look.) Is this what I’m putting off kids for? When did this happen? Moreover, why do I like it so much? Am I the only one that gets just a little high off quiet solo nights at home? And … Read More
