Chicken coops plans

Now it’s sometimes said that I’m lazy, whereas I prefer to think of myself as ergonomic with exertion. I like fast recipes that require a minimum of preparation and take just a few minutes, but I also want these fast creations to be tongue tingly tasty. It’s a side affect of living with a wife who can cook the most marvellous gastronomic marvels with what appears to be just the shake of …

I have never before purchased a book by Sandra Lee of Semi-homemade Cooking fame but happened to gander at this one called 20 Minute Meals . I’ve seen her previous cookbooks and saw some of the reviews and agreed. Many of her recipes are just too unhealthy or not particularly budget conscious. The recipes in this book looked considerably better and fitted my budget, food choices and …

Being sick really sucks my friends. Unfortunately, I’ve been continually coughing for my fourth straight week and it has seriously cut into my willingness to cook and work on original recipes. Pair that with the holiday weekend and you have a near week with no recipes. This is certainly not the way I wanted to kick this thing off.

At any rate, I’m starting to feel a bit better and am …

Whenever my wife is on call at the hospital, I usually use it as an opportunity to eat things that are either:

a.) Incredibly bad for my health b.) Very meaty and delicious c.) Very strong in flavor d.) All of the above

While the aforementioned call was in effect last night, I went against my cravings for a Benito’s Pizza and opted to cook myself something from category “c,” a Spicy …

After years of buying little tubs of pesto at the store or the farmers’ market, I finally stepped up and made my own. I knew it was simply a matter of tossing some ingredients in the food processor, but I don’t know why it took me so long to try it.

Last week I went to the farmers’ market in Central Square and selected a lush, aromatic bundle of basil — perfect for pesto making. I …

Chipotle chili is one of my favorite savory spices! It’s smokey and has a slight hint of sweetness. Just a tiny bit of this ground chili packs a serious punch of flavor.

A few weeks ago I really wanted a grilled chicken sandwich. My co-worker Jennifer makes homemade grilled chicken paninis. She uses fresh sourdough bread and makes a chipotle mayonnaise spread using Duke’s and canned …

1 quart Simple Tomato Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought marinara sauce, blended until smooth

1 cup vodka

1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 pound penne

Simmer the tomato sauce and vodka in a heavy large skillet over low heat until the mixture reduces by 1/4, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Stir the cream into the tomato and vodka sauce. …

If you are cooking chicken with a barbecue sauce, be careful that it doesn’t contain much sugar. Sugar burns at a relatively low temperature, so putting sweet barbecue sauce on fatty chicken skin is sure to cause charred chicken. Even if you take the skin off, the bitter flavor will still be there.

If you want to use barbecue sauce, brush it on just a few minutes before you take the chicken …

I’ve gone mobile! It was my good friend Karen’s birthday and another good friend, Gillian, and I decided to prepare lunch for her to celebrate. So I packed up my Breville, a bunch of tupperware full of fixins and my 6 month old and transported Panini Happy up to the OC.

As supermom to four active-yet-endearing kiddies ages 5, 3, 2 and 4 months (she writes a most humorous blog , …
