Do you ever watch the show Top Chef? If you do, the name Richard Blais might sound familiar to you. He came in second place on his season (still bitter about that) and came back to compete again on Top Chef All Stars, which he won. Anyway, he is my favorite person that has ever been on that show - I love him. Well I found out that he has a restaurant in Atlanta, which is only an hour and a half ...
Broccoli and Brussels Sprout Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
It's always fun when creating a salad to try and find that perfect balance of flavors and textures - crunchy and soft, salty and sweet, etc...That delicious balance is the mark of a great salad, in my opinion. This Broccoli and Brussels Sprout Salad is a perfect example of that! You get the crunch from the broccoli, the salty from the bacon and sunflower seeds, and the chewy/sweet from the ...
Homemade Chicken Stock
I have been meaning to make homemade chicken stock for years now and have never quite gotten around to it. The convenience of the boxed chicken stock has always been too tempting for me and I just end up getting that instead! But if you have ever watched Ina Garten on the Food Network, you have heard her say (about 8 million times to be exact) that homemade chicken stock makes all the ...
Chickpea and Veggie Curry
March has been CRAZY! I think this month has been the least I've blogged since I got started with The Garlic Diaries. So much has been going on lately, and I was planning on blogging ahead enough so that I would still be posting every other day, but I totally lost track of life and just got behind! It felt great to get back into the swing of things today and make/photograph a few recipes. ...
Crock Pot Pepper Beef Stew
It has been absolutely FREEZING in Georgia this week! Well, freezing compared to the sixty degree winter we've had so far this year. I've been spoiled...spoiled bad. Next winter we will be in Kansas, and I'm pretty sure it will be nowhere near sixty degrees in February...so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can! This stew was the perfect meal to counteract the bitterly cold weather we have been ...
Pimento Cheese Turkey Sliders
Oh my GOSH these are delicious. They are so, so, so flavorful and have so many different textures going on. It is the perfect bite. You have the soft potato roll, the crunch from the bottom of the toasted bun, the crisp bite from the arugula and onion, creamy deliciousness from the pimento cheese, and then a juicy flavor explosion from the slider. Chew that amazing mouthful and repeat. A million ...
Spicy Tuna Roll
Valentine's Day 2015 was a big hit. It was seriously one of the best days EVER! It started out with my awesome husband making me one of my favorite breakfasts (egg in a hole), included a lunch date, homemade card, super adorable gift, and ended with...wait for it...homemade sushi!! Sushi is my absolute-complete-over-the-top-by-far-most-favorite-food-of-all-time-no-comparison. I could eat it for ...
Pan Fried Dumplings with Soy Chili Peanut Sauce
So last night Seth and I were watching "New Girl" and we were on that episode in season three when Coach is trying to convince Nick to start working out. For the first five minutes of the episode, it shows Nick eating dumplings from a Chinese restaurant down the street, and Coach keeps asking him "Do you want to be a do-er or a dumplinger??". We were laying there watching this episode and craving ...
Quinoa Fried Rice
Fried rice makes me think of lazy evenings with my husband when we decide to go grab takeout instead of cooking at home. We get up, drive a few blocks down the street to the best takeout place ever (probably isn't good that we have an awesome takeout place right down the street) and pick up our food, take it home, open up the fried rice box, and attempt to divvy it out onto plates and spill little ...
Chicken and Leek Pot Pie with Black Pepper Crust
Is there anything more comforting than chicken pot pie? I grew up eating this meal all the time so in my mind it's just pure, nostalgic, comfort food. So this version is a little different than the one I grew up eating...it is lightened up a bit, only has one crust, and includes a leek, shallot, and a few cloves of garlic to give the filling an even more delicious flavor. This pie made me so ...
