Prosciutto and Basil Wrapped Chicken Fingers
These chicken fingers are fast food, Mouse-House style. They’re the perfect thing to make when you Just Need To Eat, Like Now (a fairly common occurrence at our place these days, given that we just moved).
No-Cook Strawberry Ice Cream
You can make this easy, no-cook strawberry ice cream in your blender. (No ice cream maker required!) The hardest part is waiting for it to freeze.
Pad Thai
Pad Thai, perhaps Thailand’s most infamous noodle dish, has dozens of incarnations—including several regional variations—each one a slightly different take on the mouthwatering combination of sweet, salty, and sour flavors. Some are super spicy, and some—like this recipe—are very mild. Regardless of your recipe, this is one of those dishes that’s all prep and very little actual cooking.
Lobster Rolls at The Green Dragon (Plus a Quick Recipe and Where to Buy Live Lobsters in Boston)
I had no idea that one of Boston’s oldest Irish bars would also serve one of the city’s tastiest lobster rolls. A close friend and I recently tucked in to The Green Dragon for lunch, and were oh-so-pleasantly surprised by the food.
Holy moly, thanks Saveur! (Plus, exciting things to come!)
Wow. Just wow. (That’s us! On Saveur’s website!) Let me get a little mushy. Just a little. Just for a minute. It’s always so nice when someone tells me that they like The Hungry Mouse. This site has been a labor of love for The Angry Chef and I for the last year or so. [...]
Chili Garlic Beef Ribs
This recipe is so easy, it’s kind of like cheating. I’m OK with that, though. (I’m all for fancy sauces and complicated meals. But there’s a definite time and a place for dishes like this.) It takes no time to slap together—then your oven does all the hard work.
Chipotle Lime Chicken Fingers with Sour Cherry Compote
These chicken fingers are a perfect foil for one of my favorite flavor combinations: chipotle and lime. They’re hot and spicy—and a little bit tart from a few squirts of fresh lime juice. A quick dip in a side of sour cherry compote cools them off just a smidge. And adds a touch of tangy sweetness.
Cranberry Almond Trail Mix Cookies
The recipe is my version of a super-yummy cookie that Whole Foods sells. They’re a real treat, but at almost $7 for a handful of cookies, I wanted to see if I could noodle out a similar recipe at home, based on one of my oatmeal cookie doughs. These come pretty close—and cost a lot less!
