I usually stuff it in burritos, tacos and bowl meals, but it’s also great in salads, on sandwiches, or even as an add-in to pastas and soups. Sadly, there is no Qdoba near me. In college, I practically lived off of their giant burritos. There was a location right across the street from my dorm, and I made many late night trips there. Now, rather than driving an hour and a half to the nearest Qdoba, I decided to replicate it myself....

Shrimp + garlic + sherry + butter + aromatics in Gratin style. This is one of the gastronomic glories of Chicago, yet is virtually unknown everywhere else. The shrimp are blanketed in garlicky, sherry laced bread crumbs. It was an invention of the Jonghe brothers somewhere in the late 19th century. Little did they know that this would carry their names into the 21st century. When you are eating Shrimp de Jonghe, you are eating Chicago history....
Simple Green Smoothie We make a lot of smoothies in our house since they are such an easy way to serve up a powerful dose of nutrients in an easy to drink format. I love how easy they are to vary based on what we have on hand and that they are an easy way to serve veggies to kids. In my opinion, the key to a good green smoothie for kids is balancing the flavors and texture—so in addition to greens, you need some fruit for sweetness and creaminess....
Hi friends, it’s Jason again, back for round two of our February chili series. How did you like my white bean turkey chili last week?

Some nice thick chili seemed like the perfect candidate....

I grew up eating candied yams for Thanksgiving, which is a dish made using chunks of soft, cooked sweet potato topped with butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows. It wasn’t ever my favorite dish on our holiday table – probably my least favorite actually, but I have found a new love for sweet potatoes with this easy sweet potato casserole. Probably the biggest influence in changing my mind about sweet potato casserole is the pecan streusel topping that goes on top....
