• Shepherd’s Pie

  This is a recipe I have made countless times since I started my blog. I’m not sure why I’ve never written about it, but I think my reasons are that 1.) It is very personal, and 2.) It is never quite the same each time. I just make it from memory and vary certain ingredients depending on my mood or my pantry/fridge. It is personal because my dad made Shepherd’s Pie a lot when I was a kid, and it’s one of those recipes I make when I’m really missing him (he spends most of his time in far-away lands). It’s reliable, inexpensive, I love making it, the leftovers are the best, and it is a real crowd-pleaser—everyone in my family loves it. To me, Shepherd’s Pie is the essence of comfort food and true comfort cooking. Continue reading →

  It’s no secret that I love cheese. It just makes me happy. Melted cheese has a particularly special place in my heart. It can improve my mood instantly; it completes me. So many of my favorite things to eat involve gooey, melty cheese, and at the top of the list are enchiladas. I crave them, I love them, I need to eat them regularly. When I go to a Mexican restaurant, I sometimes flirt with the idea of trying something different as I peruse the menu, but I know my eyes will eventually land on the enchilada section and that’s it. I’m done. I love everything about them: their smell, the softness of their corn tortillas, their flavorful beef filling, their signature red sauce and their blanket of lots and lots of melted cheese. I love all the little side items too: the beans, rice, finely shredded lettuce, and sour cream. Can you tell it’s one of my favorite meals? Here’s how I make my homemade version. Continue reading →
