Greek Pasta Salad

We're invited to a potluck Labor Day Weekend get-together with old friends. I'm bringing this Greek pasta salad I made using a Hilah Cooking recipe.

Muffaletta For Lunch

Today's lunch is my version of a muffaletta sandwich using the Lunch Lady recipe (sort of). See Hilah Cooking. Meat is mortadella and Genoa salami. Cheese is provolone. The olive tapenade is delicious.

Mexican Wedding Cookies

For the open house we went to tonight and for Monday's cookie exchange, I made Mexican Wedding Cookies using the Hilah Cooking recipe.

Kim Chi, Carrot, & Chevre Pancakes

For dinner tonight, I finished up the kim chi and the chevre from the refrigerator. I made savory pancakes from them and carrots, using the zucchini pancake recipe from Hilah Cooking.

Here is the batter made from a half-cup of minced kimchi, a cup of grated carrot, a half-cup of crumbled chevre (goat cheese), two tablepoons of whole wheat flour, and large egg.



I fried quarter-cupfuls at 300 degrees F for four minutes on the first side.



Then, I fried them for another four minutes on the second side.



Finishing up the batches.

BBQ Chicken with Corn & Basil Salad

I bought us a rotisserie chicken from Giant Food today. My wife had the white meat. I shredded the dark meat and reheated it in Saus from Rudy's BBQ in Austin. For our side, I made this corn and basil salad from a Hilah Cooking recipe.

Sardines on Gremolata on Toast

I made the Hilah Cooking recipe for gremolata to have with my canned sardines and sourdough bread.

Hilah Cooking

If you are looking for a website with good, basic information on how to cook, try Hilah Cooking. Hilah Johnson teaches recipes from her kitchen in a very informal way, so turn down the volume in NSFW situations. I have learned some great recipes from Hilah and expect her show to explode in popularity now that it's carried on blip.tv.

Here is Hilah's recent interview on SteveGarfield.TV--
