A delicious and simple dinner idea–and with the benefit of requiring no wheat. I bread and fry the fish and serve it with corn tortillas, cabbage, avocado, and pico de gallo. Fish: Allow about 1/2 to 1/3 lbs. white fish per person. Shark or swordfish will be denser, cod or tilapia will be flakier, and […]

Tabouleh
I don’t have a picture to go with this one, but we all know what tabouleh looks like (though I’m not sure how to spell it–Al, is this right?). It’s the perfect recipe for late summer, with the hot weather, ripe tomatoes and cukes, and waning kitchen inspiration. Here’s how it goes: Soak 3/4 or […]
Cool enough for risotto!
It’s been a hot coupla weeks here in Lake Wobegon, my hometown, so when the weather cooled down and the rain started, I was ready to stand over the stove a spell. I have been craving risotto and have so many lovely vegetables to add from my garden that I was inspired. I found a […]
Das schweinefleisch
Oh shit, pictures!? En garde, vagabondress! For my inaugural visit to Costco, I decided to avail myself of their farcical pricing in the form of that most irresistible of commodities, flesh. Porcine, in this case, and plenty of it. A ~7 pound raw loin, to be exact, for just under $15! (forgot to take a […]
Stuffed Peppers
For my final performance of the weekend, I made stuffed green bell peppers. The farm share included the most tender, juicy little peppers, so I knew this would be a good choice (since the grocery store peppers are often oversized and leathery). I combined a few recipes (using the one in almostturkish as the backbone) […]
Pasta with Eggplant and Olives
Ok, for those not obsessed by pickling, here’s a tasty recipe my housemate, Liliana made with the remaining eggplants. Oh and did I mention that she’s Italian and loves cooking? Yes, we are lucky here at the Byway. I don’t have a picture, but it’s basically pasta with a reddish sauce. You will need: One […]
Pickled Eggplant and Okra
I cooked up a storm this weekend! I got a nasty cough/cold last week and even though I probably should have been taking it easy, I got bored and decided to mix up watching The Sopranos and hacking my lungs out with cooking. Also, I picked up the farm share on Saturday and had a […]
Mujaddara – Lentils and Rice
Here’s a recipe that Alex sent me since he’s not able to post to the site easily. Alex: we miss you!!! Heya Lily, Here’s a recipe for y’all’s blog, which you’ll have to post for mesince blogspot seems to be banned at the moment. It’s called“Mujaddara” and I’m not totally clear on the origin. I […]
TIP: Job Chae – Korean Noodles
Another yummy recipe to check out is Maangchi’s jobchae video-recipe. I link to her Blogger page on the right-hand panel, and she has a number of great recipes, but I will also insert the video here: I had no idea how easy this delicious recipe is, and it uses yam starch noodles, which are perfect […]
Porky Kraut
This recipe has one of the greatest deliciousness:ease ratios that I know of. I learned it from our Hungarian cousin Kriszti, and I can’t remember the Magyar name for the life of me, so I made this one up myself. All you need is: 1.5 lbs pork shoulder roast, cubed or sliced fresh Polish sausage […]
