One of the few saving graces of quarantine has been the chance to pause, reflect, and cook a whole bunch of things that you usually would not bother with. For me, this was Gaby’s Chicken Schnitzel (sounds a little…cheeky, no?). I was all, ok fine, that looks not that interesting, but since Gaby so highly…

Gaby’s LA Chop Salad
This salad might be a contender for the best dish of quarantine. It’s like a deli sandwich exploded and the bread just disappeared, leaving a crunchy, fresh, meaty pile of chop in it’s wake. Wonderful. The real recipe also calls for chickpeas, but if I’m eating that level of carb, it’s going to be pasta….
Keto Street Cauliflower
This cauliflower is from the streets. The hard streets of Cast Iron Keto brought this idea to life, with some tweaks to the sauciness. The cauliflower grew up with a hard knock life, educated on the on the streets of Juarez. Or just like street corn, but better. Your choice. Either way, it was great…
Gaby’s Pan-Roasted Eggplant with Pecorino
Calling all eggplant lovers… this one is life changing. Eggplant is a mop for oil and this recipe, the eggplants just kept drinking and drinking it up. They were good, but definitely felt like something a heavy-handed Italian grandmother would make. But, if you’re in the mood for an old-school Italian grandmothering, this is for…
Green Goddess Chicken and Dressing
This week was an experiment in eating green – chicken AND dressing. I took a recipe from the NYT and a dressing inspiration from What’s Gaby Cooking and made a salad sent straight from the garden. With this creation, you’ll get two, TWO items from the price of one. Love a sale! This color! Am…
Super Model Project: Sweet Miso-Butter Cod and Snap Peas
On Saturday a lovely bottle of champagne found its way to my doorstep. It would have been wrong not to bring it in and keep it very close to me during these trying times, so that is exactly what I did. This probably explains why I never got around to plating the Sweet Miso-Butter Cod…
Best Bake of Quarantine: Brown Butter and Toffee Cookies
Follow chef Rick Andrew Martinez and you have a glimpse of his quarantine adventures in Mexico that seem to be all cooking and sunsets. My kind of guy. He’s one of those fun chefs that Instagram matrixes the home chef’s creations following his recipes and day after day, story after story, were these Brown Butter…
Third Place Recipe of Quarantine: Teigan’s Parmesan Waffles
It’s Sunday morning, and if you aren’t immediately heading to your kitchen to whip of the third place recipe of quarantine, are you even living? Holy hell, these are incredible and not all that carb heavy. The parmesan brings a umami quality that I cannot even explain. Your kitchen smells incredible and after you eat…
Second Place Recipe of Quarantine: Gaby’s Pasta with Broccolini and Sausage
It’s a very cool, cozy day here in lovely Raleigh, NC. The perfect kind of night to make What’s Gaby Cooking’s Pasta with Brcoccolini and Sausage. As a matter of fact, this is the second best dish that I’ve cooking in quarantine. The best dish of quarantine so far is Gaby’s chicken larb, that I…
The Sauce is Boss- Teigan’s Capone Burger Sauce Gets a Healthy Makeover
Another throwback today! You may recall an earlier recipe of Chrissy Teigan’s Capone Burger sauce that I’ve shared with you and have been making for years. Her other secret is that she coats the burger in Dijon mustard before cooking it. Makes a nice crust, ya know? That’s all there is to it, the Capone…

Hope that everyone’s quarantine is going as well as can be expected during these strange times. If you’re like me and everyone else in America, err the world, you have been cooking up a storm! While I personally have yet to make banana bread this quarantine, everyone else is which is why it seemed necessary…
Sticky Chili Chicken
Well, instead of cooking up one big dish on Sunday afternoon noon, now I cook Saturday nights until one or two in the morning. I’m on week three of this odd cycle and it has become the highlight of my week. I crank up IG Live (again, so weird in itself) and find a DJ…
