Big Red Kitchen: More in the Freezer: Cheeseburgers
In an effort to health up my family’s lunches, I am steering away from those frozen prepackaged sandwiches that saved me back in my busy December, to homemade frozen sandwiches, and so far so good. The Frozen Chicken Sandwich was a huge hit with my kids so I moved on to trying the Cheeseburger by simply increasing the size of my White Castle-like Sliders. Start by sprinkling a large 11×17 inch pan with dried minced onions and pressing 2.5 pounds of ground beef over top. Sprinkle with season salt (I use Penzey’s) and bake in a 375 degree oven for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into 15 equal sized patties.
Chicken Parmigiana
This is one of the go-to dishes I make for my family of six. Rich, flavorful, and totally satisfying, we all love it, including my big, strapping cowboy of a husband. And that’s a very, very good thing. Break out the good Parmesan for this one, my friends.
Korean Beef Bulgogi Recipe, Video, and Cooking Tips at Epicurious.com
B eef Bulgogi sounds very foreign and exotic, but actually it's simply marinated beef wrapped in lettuce leaves. The Culinary Institute of America's Chef John J. Nihoff shows us how to make this authentic Korean recipe—thinly sliced sweet and savory sirloin, served with rice and a variety of condiments. Commonly called Korean barbecue in the U.S., "bulgogi" translates to "fire meat" in English.
Simple Sundays
Today’s post comes by way of a special request from a reader comment when I published my recipe for No Bake Lemon Curd Cheesecake Bars a few weeks ago. When I made the bars, I used the convenient (yet divine) lemon curd from Trader Joe’s. However, we don’t all have a Trader Joe’s nearby, and the truth is, Lemon Curd is really very simple to make. Thanks to Stef the request! Lemon curd – I could eat it by the spoonful.
15 International Twists On Meatball Recipes
Like dumplings, every culture has a meatball recipe. From Italy to Sweden to China and beyond, the delicious reward of rolling ground meat and spices together seems to be a pretty universal concept. Whether you want to tuck into a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, wolf down a meatball sub in front of the game or throw a cocktail party with mini-meatballs, we'd be hard-pressed to find an occasion that they weren't appropriate for (yes, you can even make vegetarian versions, if you're into that kind of thing). We found some of our favorite meatballs from around the world to share with you today. Let us know if we missed your favorite version, and bonus points will be awarded to anyone who throws a Meatballs of the World party.
Roasted Pork Tamales
I know I talk about how much I miss Mexican food a lot, but I really, really miss it. It simply isn’t the same here in New York City. I suppose that I could have predicted this, but when I moved here, I thought that there would be the best of the best from every culture. While there is some delicious Latin food available, it just isn’t the same delicious Sonoran Mexican food that Kramer and I crave on an almost daily basis.
Cheeseburger Macaroni
This delicious, incredibly cheesy dish is another one of our favorite weeknight dinners. It’s beefy, hearty and whips up in less than 20 minutes. Hope you love this one as much as we do!
Kitchen Helpers - StumbleUpon
I found these helpful charts last week and just had to share! Both of these beauties are from Chasing Delicious (aka one of the most fab foodie blogs out there)! Aren’t they faaaaabulous?!
Popsicles!
Not to sound full of myself, but I’m pretty sure this is the be all, end all of popsicle roundups. There’s a little something for everyone: the foodies, the purists, the ones who prefer frozen yogurt, the ones who prefer a little alcohol, everyone. Tweny-five options to be exact. The post I did last summer on the cold guys was one of DC’s most viewed ever, so I thought you’d all be up for another round – was I right?

Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling Soup
The ultimate in comfort food, this soup was our solace for being trapped in the house far too long with subzero temperatures raging outside (oh, spring, wherefore art thou??). My Aunt Marilyn sent me the recipe and I was hooked on trying it when I knew she had been making it and loving it for years and also has used it as a wonderful take-in meal with great results. The soup is a delicious and unique twist on traditional chicken noodle soup and the overall flavor of this soup is out of this world (not to mention the way my house smelled while cooking it – crazy good). Slightly creamy and chock full of vegetables and tender chunks of chicken, this soup is elevated to a whole new level by the addition of steamed morsels of dumplings. Soft and delicate, the dumplings complimented every bite of this tummy-warming soup.
Taco Stuffed Shells Recipe
Here something interesting for you taco lovers. Instead of regular Italian stuffed shells last night I made Taco stuffed shells! This recipe for taco stuffed shells consists of ground beef and cream cheese for the filling and is topped with tortilla chips and cheese. Make sure to let the filling mixture have enough time to cool before stuffing the shells or you might have a sloppy mess on your handsJ.
