Shrimp

Shrimp Gumbo

It was snowing this morning so I thought this would be a good night to make a hearty soup. I had some shrimp in the freezer so my thoughts turned to gumbo. In Louisiana, gumbo is practically religion.

Lamb

Grilled Leg of Lamb

One night last September, my husband and I had dinner at our friends' Deb and Paul's house. Paul had marinated a butterflied leg of lamb to grill on their rooftop patio, and he headed out there well after dark. The fall's earlier sundowns have never stopped people from grilling, but grilling in the dark usually involves a jury-rigged move with flashlights. Paul, an excellent cook, has come up with a nifty solution: he wears a camping headlamp from L.L.Bean. Nerdy, you say? I think not, after tasting his perfectly grilled lamb.

Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin

As I continue foraging through recipes, I've been focusing on meats. Honey and mustard combos specifically. I tried a honey mustard chicken last week, and refined the marinade on a pork tenderloin this past weekend. The marinade found its home. For sure.

Breakfast and Brunch

Pasteles De Guayaba (Guava and Cream Cheese Pastries)

"This is a childhood favorite that conjures up memories of growing up as a gringa in South Florida and sitting in the open air Cuban Cafes and indulging on these sweet pastries! These pastries are wonderful with a café con leche!! They were a special treat that we were allowed to have on occasion for breakfast. It is actually one of the few things I actually miss about South Florida! The recipe is from Alex Garcia."

Yummy, Fast and Easy Roast Beef Wrap

"This is something that I throw together when I am in a crunch for something to feed my kids, or myself. I love wraps, and love trying to make new ones. Dip it in Ranch dressing, or any dressing that you like. Cut them up for appetizers, or use for a snack or light dinner. Yummy yummy!"

Shrimp

Shrimp and Chorizo Sandwich

I'm either incredibly lazy or just addicted to my laptop. Once I get settled in at the food52 office, I have a hard time breaking from my daily three-part fix -- Twitter, Chartbeat, and my in-box -- to walk more than 5 blocks for lunch. Which is reason 397 why I love our new office. We're close to Taralucci e Vino, Eataly, and a great Korean soup place, and we're just a few steps from 'wichcraft, Tom Colicchio's sandwich chain, where I've tasted nearly everything on the menu. One item that I like to have as a warm-up to the peanut butter creamwich is the shrimp-and-chorizo sandwich with aioli.

Pork

Puerco Bravo (Braised Pork With Spicy Potatoes)

This assertive main course works really well when prepared in a slow cooker, provided that the meat is browned first in hot fat. The inspiration is a Neapolitan-style ragu. The pork shoulder can be cooked as an entire piece or cut up into pieces of about 2 inches as for a stew.

Lamb

Slow-Cooker Persian Lamb Stew

Here a whole lamb shoulder is braised in the slow cooker until it’s silky and supple and easy to shred. A few aromatics give it distinctive flavor, among them saffron and dried lime, available at Middle Eastern markets and from online grocers. Serve the lamb over red or white quinoa, and garnish with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and chopped fresh dill.

Not Your Cafeteria Meatloaf
