Fried rice is one of our favorite such dishes and, due to the endless variety of ingredients you can add, it’s a perfect way to use what you have on hand and “cleanContinue reading “Fried Rice”

Frittata
A wonderful way to “clean out your fridge”, a Frittata can be simple, containing only eggs, or filled with your favorite meats, vegetables, and cheeses. The Get Cheffy kitchen hits the middle ground (so we think), and adds one protein, two main vegetables, and a handful of aromatics to create an excellent lunch, dinner, orContinue reading “Frittata”
Spring Vegetable Pasta with Sausage & Breadcrumbs
The first vegetables out of the gate in Spring are usually asparagus, artichokes, chives, and greens like watercress and baby spinach. We utilize a few of them in our Get Cheffy vegetable pasta. As we always say, however, Get Cheffy with it, and use as many of them as you like. A mixture of toastedContinue reading “Spring Vegetable Pasta with Sausage & Breadcrumbs”
Poached Pears
You’ve seen these on fancy food shows before and said to yourself, “I’m totally gonna make that…”, before smashing your hand back into the Doritos bag and forgetting about it. If this sounds like you, don’t be afraid of this “posh” and “fancy” sounding dessert; poached fruit is versatile and can be served country styleContinue reading “Poached Pears”
Thai Slaw with Peanut Dressing
One of our favorite salads/slaws made from pantry staple ingredients. Thinly shaved vegetables are tossed in a peanut/satay dressing that combines the spice of ginger, and the richness, and naturally high fat content, of peanuts. Rich, complex, and satisfying, this is an excellent salad for those who “don’t like salad“, and pairs beautifully with barbecuedContinue reading “Thai Slaw with Peanut Dressing”

White Chocolate & Peach Swirl Ice Cream
Haagen Dazs is the brand we reach for when we buy store bought ice cream, and it was Haagen Dazs that inspired our flavor combination of sweet, buttery white chocolate and tangy peach. Haagen Dazs is expensive and sold in disappointingly tiny pints; however, it is truly superb ice cream. They can charge more forContinue reading “White Chocolate & Peach Swirl Ice Cream”
