Episodes » Episode 23: Chili with ChiliesWe're proud to bring you a very special episode this week, the 2nd in our series of Brooklyn-centric collaborations (the first co-starring Marty last week) the 3rd of which will air late next month. Today's episode co-stars Ms. Anneliese Griffin of Brooklyn Based, our favorite email newsletter - and we do get a bunch - focused on the best of Brooklyn food, life and happenings. If you're a Brooklyn resident and you're not subscribed...stop missing out! Get on it now!
We're extremely lucky that Anneliese suggested we make Chili in our episode together because, and I'm kind of mortified to admit this, I don't have a Chili recipe. I'm a Texan without a Chili recipe. I know, I'm disgrace and I'm sorry.
Thank the lord for Annaliese, because this girl knew what she was doing. Not only did she bring the recipe, she also brought some really delicious, grass-fed beef from The Meat Hook. We felt very spoiled...and we LIKED it!
Read on for notes about this tasty recipe...

Episodes » Episode 17: Chipotle Chicken EnchiladasChipotle Chicken Enchiladas are some of the best things I've ever made, and I'm extremely proud to say that the recipe was born (mostly) in my very own brain. If I never created anything else worthwhile in this world, I can die happy knowing I at least contributed this dish. I'm perfectly happy with these enchiladas becoming my legacy, that's how good they are.
This sauce on these enchiladas originated in this recipe in Gourmet (RIP). I read it and thought, "mmm, that sauce looks fabulous, maybe I can use it for E. Bites. Turning it into an enchilada sauce (aka: adding chicken broth, onions and garlic) was a stroke of brilliance, If I say so myself! It's smoky-spicyness from the crazy hot chipotles gives the regular old enchilada a HUGE and welcome kick in the A . MMM, I wish I had some right NOW!

-1 cup ketchup
-2 Tbsp dijon mustard

Bringing you another episode of Economy Bites, and it's bringing ME back into my happy place. How simply marvelous!

Episodes » Episode 2: Ground Turkey Penne BakeWelcome back everybody! Thanks for returning for Episode Two: Ground Turkey Penne Bake. This recipe originates with my Grandma Bernice, and she is not Italian. She's a Jew, and she's from Cuero, TX, a place I'm basically sure you've never heard of. That said, she is a fabulous cook, as are many Jewish grandmothers from small towns.
Grandma Bernice's basic baked pasta recipe consisted of shells, marinara sauce and the delicious kicker: a Parmesan cheese crust. It is fabulous in its simplicity. When I started dabbling in cookery, it was one of the first recipes I attempted because it's so easy and yummy. As I've gotten more adventurous, I've tried adding a ton of different things to this dish in hopes of finding a great combination: mushrooms, ground beef, ricotta cheese, etc. etc. etc. Some of the stuff worked and some of it reallllllllllllly didn't. But that's OK, I'm not ashamed! It takes a lot of tries before you land on a winner. And I definitely have found a winner in this pasta combo!
The final dish you'll see on the video involves wheat pasta, mushrooms, onions and, of course, the pièce de résistance, the Parmesan crust. Oh man, I'm tasting that crust in my mouth right now, and it tastes GOOD. That sentence was gross, but trust me, this pasta dish isn't.

Recipes » My Fried Ian's Chicken Caesar Salad w/ Cheesy Garlic CroutonsSo, I love me some Caesar salad, but I can't imagine myself cooking with a can of anchovies. Maybe I'm closed minded, but I don't like fish that comes in a tin... oh, except for Tuna, which I actually like a lot.
Anyway
My friend Ian gave me this recipe and I like it because it fulfills my need for an anchovy-less Caesar dressing, and it's a great recipe for my leftover roasted chicken. I think y'all will all enjoy it.
