Chinese Chicken Legs
Last Thursday, I — along with the rest of the jiggly New Year’s resolutioners — found myself in the super-unfortunate and un-fun spot of waiting for cardio equipment at the gym. Those of us who took four (*ahem*) six weeks off from our workouts during the holiday season had at last come to our senses and turned up for our turn on the treadmill. If we thought we were going to be greeted with open arms by those hard bodied witches, I mean, dedicated souls, who had been attending their spin and cardio and yoga sessions all along and without fail throughout the month of December, we were sadly mistaken.

Eggplant Stacks with Tomatoes & Parmesan
I have this friend and she’s a super adventurous cook. She uses recipes as jumping off points – sometimes she doesn’t even use a recipe – and everything she makes is fabulous. Her signature-no-recipe-salad-dressing, for example, is TO DIE FOR. Every time I try to nail her down on the ingredients she’s like, “oh, I don’t know, I never do the same thing twice, it’s a little of this, a little of that” real casual-like and la-di-da and it drives me CRAZY because I am sooooo not that kind of cook.

Chicken & Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce
April and May are Wellness Months at Balistreri’s Sendiks, and I’ve been asked to participate by featuring healthful recipes throughout the duration. I’m tickled to play along! Who doesn’t want to eat healthfully? Tofu, granola, and veggie burgers all around! Walking lunges on your way to the fridge please… power squats while you unload the dryer and pick up after your punks, and don’t forget to contract your biceps as you lift that sparkling water to your lips!

Southwestern Style Turkey Sliders
I’m so excited for Opening Day at Miller Park, I can’t wait! What a blast it’s gonna be for all of you lucky ducks who get to go. I’ll be tuning in from home. And that’s okay, because honestly it really is enough for me just knowing that thousands of folks will be out there, having a total blast tailgating in the parking lots, partying with fellow baseball fans, inhaling the smoky smell of charcoal and enjoying tasty food and clinking beer cups in celebration of the return of the Boys of Summer.

Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie
This chicken pie was rescued from what could have been a colossal disaster. I’ve seen my share of kitchen failures, and believe me, this would have been right up there with the great ones.

Pork Tonkatsu
I decided that today, since I was so courageous as to venture out to the meat sale during last week’s blizzard, I would make a dent in my frozen stash of carnivorous finds. Pork tenderloin is usually a hit around here, as is most any Asian-style dish. Here’s the perfect blend of both.

Butternut Squash Risotto with Bacon & Sage
In honor of the Fall Extravaganza, I have here today a quintessential autumn recipe. You’d be hard pressed to find ingredients more fall-like than butternut squash and fresh sage, right? This is the perfect dish to make when there’s a chill in the air, and a delicious accompaniment to most any type of roasted meat (I’m thinking chicken or pork), but seared sea scallops would be lovely as well.

Shrimp Cakes
This is one of the craziest, busiest, and most hectic weeks of summer we’ve had so far — I guess to make up for the peace and quiet I enjoyed while both of our girlies were away at camp last week. Well, the party’s over, as they say.
After a week-long hiatus, I’ve resumed my roll as the official DamFam taxi driver, laundress, short order cook, maid, and referee, and my ‘to-do’ list is spiraling out of control.
