It is my girlfriend's birthday in early December and I would like to book a reservation for dinner. Our favorite restaurant is ABC Kitchen, but we could not get a reservation unfortunately. Does anyone have another recommendation for a similar restaurant? Something simple, fresh, New American, etc. Open to any recommendations. Thanks.
I'm looking to make dinner tonight with some ground turkey I took out of the freezer. I cook with it a lot...it's cheap and easy, which is good for a college senior like me. But I'm sick of the same thing over and over...turkey chili, with pasta, boring burgers, etc. I only have a stove and oven, no grill. Any good recipes for ground turkey? Open to anything, thanks.
I'm going to Chicago with a group of couples for my Senior year College Formal. It is the last time I'll be together with all my close friends before we graduate, and I'd love to make it memorable. I'm looking for a great restaurant in downtown Chicago that would appeal to everyone's tastes and will not break the bank (Alinea and Spaggio, for example, are very much out of our price ranges). I've come up with a couple of options, like Taxim and Prarie Fire, which were rated two of the best new restaurants in Chicago by Chicagomag.com. Does anyone have any other suggestions? There will be around 12 people total. Nothing too stuffy and fancy but also a really nice place that will offer some great food at fair prices ($20-$35ish per entree, for example).
I love canned sardines, for both the nutritional value and for the taste. For lunch, I'll usually eat them straight from the can or put them on some buttered toast, but it's getting a little boring. Does anyone have any ideas for quick and easy lunch recipes using sardines?
I just grilled whole red snapper and branzino for dinner tonight. I stuffed it with some lemon slices and herbs and they both came out really well. I'm curious to see what other fish I can use.
What fish do you use to grill whole and how do you prepare it?

Being on a budget and in need of quick dinners, I use one-skillet meals, as well. One go-to I have is a sort of turkey ragu:
I brown some ground turkey, then throw in chopped canned tomatoes and beans (garbanzo and chickpeas are my favoite), as well as some salt, pepper and any other spices I feel like. I cover it and let it simmer for around 10 minutes, then throw in a handful of spinach and let it wilt for a couple of minutes. Once done, I'll spoon it over some jasmine or brown rice.
Quick and delicious, and healthy too.
