Buffalo Chicken Burgers

Lean and spicy, buffalo chicken burgers made with lean ground chicken, hot wing sauce, blue cheese and red onion is the perfect answer to buffalo wings: without the grease and mess! From the moment I started telling people that Brad and I planned to move in together, I heard some variation of: “wow, what a big step” or “wow, that’s a big change!” It’s been about a month and a half and so far, the biggest change is that the amount of sports and sports media I consume has at least tripled, and the number of Grey’s Anatomy reruns I watch on a weekly basis has quickly plummeted to zero. A lifelong Chicago Cubs fan and a die-hard Buckeye, my boyfriend takes his sports very seriously. As for me, I’ve never been much of a sports fan. When I was around 10 years old, I discovered that if I feigned an interest, my dad would let me stay up later with him to watch the Yankees, so I learned a good deal about baseball during my early adolescent years. As a result, I’m far more active a participant in watching Chicago Cubs games than I am during Ohio State football. Football is synonymous with […]

Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Parmesan and Pecans

Since I started writing My Daily Find Chicago (why yes, that was a shameless plug, why do you ask?) I’ve done a lot more eating out than eating in, but now that the weather is getting colder and friends begin hibernating, I’ve had the urge to cook more. Because nothing is official until you’ve posted it on the internet, well, I hope you like blurry, poorly-lit Instagram pictures, because I have a few of those on the docket for you. I’m a pretty big fan of vegetables of the cruciferous variety, with the exception of cauliflower which is really just a JV version of broccoli, if you ask me. Now that I think about it, I basically just like broccoli and brussels sprouts because I could live without cabbage, too. In any event, shredding brussels sprouts might sound like a lot of work, but in actuality it will save you time, because once shredded, you no longer need to cook them. You can, but it’s no longer mandatory in order to render them edible. Just shred, toss and would you look at that? A salad.

Cheese, Beef and Noodle Casserole for Cold Days

I know, I know. Cheese, beef and noodle casserole sounds like a recipe that you would find in a boring church cookbook. Beef, cheese and pasta, all baked together in one nice, artery-clogging casserole dish. This pasta dish? It might sound lowbrow but it’s really, really good. I ate it for dinner four days in a row and I still think it’s good. I will admit that by Day 4 I was getting a little sick of looking at it, but I wasn’t sick of eating it, that’s for sure . Before you write me off as a sell-out to the cheese, beef and noodle industries, hear me out. This recipe is everything you could ever want in a dish: it tastes fattening, it is not fattening (lean beef! whole wheat pasta!) and it is cheap – you only need a few ingredients, some of which you probably already own. Really. And it’s easy. If you can boil water for pasta you can probably handle whipping this up on a freezing cold weeknight when you’re thisclose to crawling into bed and staying there until April.
