Just because I cook a lot doesn’t mean I don’t still run into problems in the kitchen. This week was an example of this. The theme was Brazil, and I decided to make Feijoada, a bean dish I knew about from the six months my family hosted a Brazilian exchange student. (See my Brazilian fudge [...]
One of the problems I run into fairly often when looking for new recipes is finding those that have some sort of alcohol in them. I keep very little around so I’d have to purchase it specifically for that recipe. I ran into it again this weekend when I found a recipe for Korean Chicken [...]
