Chapli Kabob Burgers
Chapli kabobs are a popular street food in Pakistan. Disc-shaped and fried, they make for a great walk-around food. Pomegranate seeds are usually added for a little extra zip, but they’re not 100% required to make a tasty kabob. Somewhere…

Macarona Bechamel (Pasta with Bechamel)
I’ll start with the warning that this recipe serves about eight, and I’ve cut it in half versus a lot of the variations out there. With that out of the way, here’s a nice casserole that’s like a stripped-down lasagna….

Pad Gra Prow (Thai Beef and Basil)
I like Thai food, and I like basil, but I don’t like dried coconut, so any time I find a recipe it makes Kat happy. It also helps that we have a ridiculous amount of basil in the pots this…

Lybian Mahshi (Stuffed Vegetables)
So “mahshi” means “stuffed” in Arabic. You can stuff a lot of vegetables like zucchini or eggplant if you really want to. I don’t want to, so I’m sticking with green peppers. At 48, I’m allowed to make these choices….

Keema Matar – Mincemeat and Peas Curry
So, Kat says this one is a 13/10 and the kid agrees, so I guess that’s an endorsement. This is mostly a ground meat and tomatoes dish, where the peas add a little something extra. And, like some of my…

Pesto-Bacon Cheeseburgers
Summertime….and the burgers’ easy… Well it is. Despite it’s fancy-pants look, they’re pretty straight-forward. There’s the extra step of making pesto, but don’t let it intimidate. The patties are slider-style, which I like because they have onions in, and they…

Irish Cheese Burgers
I have burgered with booze before, of course, but today, we’re really all about the cheese. Specifically, Kellygold’s Dublinier, which is a little difficult to explain, but texturally, it’s like a dry cheddar or perhaps a Parmesan block, yet it’s a…
La-La-La-La-La-Lasagna
For some reason it seems like a lot of people fear lasagna. I have some theories, but I’ll reserve them for a minute. Lasagna is, at the root, pretty simple. There are variations on how many layers, and the like,…

Jackburgers
Cooking with whiskeys and bourbons seems to be all the rage these days. Most of it, though, even in Burgerland, seems to be sauce-based flavorings – make a regular burger and put a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce on it, for…

Deep-fried Meatballs!!1!
You heard me right. Meatballs. Deep-fried. What I didn’t mention is that cheese is involved too. After all, this is an Italian-inspired dish – at least as far as the flavors go. Most people just look at me funny though….
