Cookbook Club – Brian Lagerstrom In August, rather than a traditional cookbook we chose Brian Lagerstrom’s recipe blog https://www.brianlagerstrom.com/. Lagerstrom is a self-described “Restaurant chef turned YouTube chef”. For a view of the full meal, go to my Cookbook Club site. For now – my dish! I was excited to try the Street Corn (Elotes…

Spaghetti Squash with Arugula, Bacon, and Goat Cheese
My keto friend was coming over for dinner, so I needed to come up with a dish that doesn’t have carbs. Even my husband, who lives on carbs, raved about how good this Spaghetti Squash with Arugula, Bacon and Goat Cheese was. It was very easy (roasting the squash was the longest part!), so I’ll…
Creamy Roasted Garlic and Zucchini Pasta
I bought garlic at the grocery store, only to discover I already had several heads of garlic at home. I roasted some to make Japanese egg salad, but figured I’d throw in a couple extra heads since I’d already have the air fryer going and I had plenty of garlic to spare. Needing to figure…
Pasta Bolognese
In the best spirit of the Guessipe, I’ve found Pasta Bolognese to have some pretty interchangeable components… red or white onion, celery or fennel, red or white wine, canned tomatoes or tomato sauce, milk or heavy cream. It’s the long slow simmer that brings it all together. Traditionalists might balk at this, but try it…
Lemon Za’atar Cauliflower
One night I threw this Lemon Za’atar Cauliflower together using what I happened to have around. My husband lost his mind for it, saying he would choose this cauliflower dish over roasted pork (and he LOVES roasted pork). So I’ll definitely be making it regularly, especially since it’s also healthy and easy. I used green…
Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings
I adored these Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings whenever my mom made them. She learned from her mom. I added the extra step of broiling the wings at the end, which adds a layer of crispiness. You can skip that step if you just want sticky wings, how grandma made them! Aside from its yumminess, one…
Beef Peanut Stew
My boyfriend came home with peanut butter powder and beef chuck, and said “Can you make something with this?”. Challenge accepted. His reaction after trying this Beef Peanut Stew – “I think this is my new jam!”. Challenge won. Guessipe Season beef with salt and pepper. Cook in a dutch oven over medium-high heat, turning…
Saushroomichoke Pasta
I had the idea that marinated artichoke hearts would be a good way to amp up a pasta dish, and threw together this dinner. As my boyfriend wolfed it down, I asked him if it should be a Guessipe. He managed to pause between bites long enough to blurt out “Definitely! What are you going…
Keema Matar
My friend’s mom visited her for a month and bought all the spices to cook Indian food, even though she already had all of them in her pantry. So lucky me – she gave me all the duplicates! I used them to make Keema Matar (ground meat with peas). Guessipe Sauté the onion in olive…
Asian Beef Balls
When my family goes to dim sum, we never get the steamed beef balls – they tend to be bland and a bit mushy. But I had a big package of ground beef and needed something to bring to a football party, so I decided to try making my own better beef balls. A bunch…
Crispy Yangnyeom Chickpeas with Caramelized Honey
Cookbook Club – Holiday Year in Review 2023 For our last Cookbook Club of 2023, we did a Holiday Year in Review event where you could choose a recipe from any of the cookbooks we used in the past year. For the full 2023 retrospective, check out my Cookbook Club site. For now – my…
Beyond Bulgogi
I had some Beyond Beef and an apple, and it got me thinking that I could try making Beyond Bulgogi. I’m not going to try to tell you that Beyond Bulgogi is the same as the traditional Korean marinated beef that I adore, but it is pretty tasty in its own right. And the other…
