We [Heart] Food

Month: June 2007

  • Pozole!

    Yes, yet another pozole recipe… I swear, we should just rename the site to “We [heart] Pozole”. This one, unlike the others we’ve made, is closer to “traditional” pozole in that it doesn’t have a thick, tomato base, but rather a clear, flavorful broth. The red color comes from guajillo peppers that have been pureed […]

  • Wild Mushroom and Barley Soup

    First recipe from our new Jay Solomon cookbook (thanks Cathy!), Vegetarian Soup Cuisine. Three types of mushrooms in this one – can’t go wrong there. End result was a little bland, though, so we replaced a cup of the water-based broth with chicken stock. Next time around we’ll probably replace all 6 cups of water […]

  • Pepper-Beef Stir Fry

The sauce thickens nicely and certainly doesn’t taste “light”. Pepper-Beef Stir-Fry——————— 1 (5 oz) package Japanese curly noodles (chucka soba), uncooked 1/3 cup low-sodium soy […]

  • Cellophane Noodle Salad

    This is a nice summery salad featuring lots of crisp vegetables, ground pork, and cellophane noodles (also called glass noodles or bean thread noodles). It’s also the first recipe we’ve tried from the new cookbook that Lisa’s mom gave us over the weekend. All of the recipes in the book look delicious; I’m sure we’ll […]

  • Firecracker Shrimp Jambalaya

    We returned to our old friend Great Bowls of Fire for this spicy shrimp and rice dish. This is another one of the “huge portion” recipes that we love. Made it hotter by adding hot sauce just before serving. Firecracker Shrimp Jambalaya—————————–1 1/4 cups long-grain white rice1 tbsp canola oil1 large yellow onion, diced1 green […]
