Brian’s Boneless Hot Wings

Brian and I traditionally make these for our We’re Lame Homebodies Who Stay In, New-Years Celebration. Every year we stay in for New Years, just the two of us (or in recent years 3 of us, but Becca’s in bed), eat fabulous food and watch movies. While they’re fantastic, normally...

Sesame Chicken

I love Chinese take-out. There are only a few places that I think make great Chinese food in town here- curse of living in a semi-small town in Michigan. We’re not exactly prime location for ethnic foods up here. However, we did have one favorite takeout place that made great...

Penne Rustica

I told you I loved What’s Cooking in the Orange Kitchen! This is my 3rd update in a row from her blog 🙂 This pasta was heavy but fantastic. And incidentally, it made fantastic leftovers for lunch the next day too. I was a little heavy handed with the pepper...
