Years ago, back when my husband Jack worked at a popular Boston-area Mexican restaurant, the dishes they prepared and served typically came with one of three sauces – a spicy white sauce (you can see that sauce used here and here), Salsa Verde or this delicious, red Enchilada Sauce. This enchilada sauce is (in our…
Like other parts of the eastern coastal United States, catching and eating Atlantic Blue Crabs is a fun (and delicious!) warm weather tradition. In Massachusetts, where we live, no special permits are required for recreational crabbing – and if you’re in the right place at the right time, the only equipment you’ll need to catch…
Even as food bloggers, my husband Jack and I really do try to find some balance in our diet! We often share recipes that are delicious but very decadent, and definitely not geared toward any of our readers who might be on a diet. So I’m actually very happy anytime we feature recipes like this…
As food bloggers, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that, on evenings when Jack and I are relaxing and we turn on the television – more often than not, we’re watching either the Food Network or the Cooking Channel. The other night, we were watching a show that featured a restaurant famous for its…
I think our six-year-old daughter may have a future as an event planner when she grows up! Last year – for months and completely on her own – Emma talked about having a great big play date at our house. She made a list of all of her friends who would be invited, wrote out…
Our Seasoned Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions is another recipe that my husband and I debated whether or not to post here on A Family Feast. Similar to our Caesar Salad with Grilled Caesar Chicken – this is another recipe that is so simple, it can hardly be called a recipe! But whenever we serve these…
I’ve mentioned before that my husband Jack used to work at a popular Mexican Restaurant called The Edgewater Café, in a small, out-of-the-way coastal town about an hour north of Boston. These Chicken Chimichangas were one of the most popular dishes on the menu. To continue the story – whenever I went to that same…
Salt pork (also called salt-cured pork or white bacon) is an ingredient used in many recipes. Salt pork resembles an uncut slab of bacon in appearance, but it’s not cured or smoked like bacon. Instead, it is used in recipes that call for a pork fat that hasn’t been smoked and it also adds a…
Years ago, Jack worked at a very popular Mexican restaurant called The Edgewater Café, in a small, out-of-the-way coastal town about an hour north of Boston. Many of their fabulous dishes used a version of this “Rocket Fuel” – or homemade hot sauce – and it was so popular with their customers that they would…
So I bet you’re probably thinking that having parents who write a food blog would mean that our six-year-old daughter is a little ‘foodie’ herself? And she’s willing to try many of the delicious foods that we make for our blog? Nope. Our six-year-old is a very picky eater, and we can count on two hands…
Pearl Onions in Cream Sauce is a dish that we typically prepare around the holidays, but this would be a great side dish for any special meal. This delicious recipe serves the tender pearl onions in a really scrumptious cream sauce flavored with mellow garlic, bay leaves, parsley, and nutmeg – a combination that perfectly complements…
