Creamy Chicken Marsala
Chicken Marsala This is one of my wife’s absolute favorite meals, so I try to prepare it every so often. I keep a bottle of Marsala wine in the house just for this. Albeit, I used the cooking wine this time, instead of a good Marsala. One of the advantages of making it this way, is that […]
So why did we start “cooking with legs” and where did you get the name?
We started this to become an online resource for people who love food. My mission is to help people who don’t know how to cook, learn to cook. I also want to have a place for those who enjoy cooking to come together and discuss what they like, dislike and techniques they use. I want people from […]
Shrimp and Grits
Shrimp and grits… I can’t really call this a New Orleans recipe, because it’s kind of my personal interpretation of what I would call a New Orleans dish. Quite honestly, even though I’ve lived and cooked in New Orleans my entire life, I’ve never had this dish prepare by anyone but myself, so I can’t say I […]
Creamy tortellini and sausage soup
My family loves this soup. I make it with gnocchi instead of tortellini at times; which my wife can’t get enough of. During the summer, I do a lighter version of this, which is similar to something my mom used to make often. I had planned to make this soup when it was still cold outside, but […]
Panèed pork chops with asparagus
pork chops This is one of my favorite ways to cook pork. My mom used to make paneed chicken and paneed veal a lot when I was young and I always looked forward to it. The breading gets nice and crunchy while the meat stays tender and juicy. You get the best of both worlds! To make the […]
Dining or ordering out, what do I look for?
Ordering out is probably much more popular now than it ever was. Even before the covid shutdowns, services like Uber Eats and DoorDash put restaurant foods in peoples homes for a nominal delivery fee. I am not bashing this service, I use it myself. However, the convenience has led to many people who wouldn’t ordinarily have an interest […]
Not a Popeyes or chick fil a chicken sandwich – this one is all mine
After yesterday’s debacle with losing a 20 minute video on an exceptional meal, I decided to make tonight’s easy. I did my version of a spicy chicken sandwich. Didn’t check any recipes or do any copycat thing. I just did what I know and kept it simple. Making the marinade: Buttermilk Frank’s hot sauce -or the hot sauce […]
Carne Asada served with a Latin influenced couscous, onions and peppers
So we had a complete crash of media today. I had a video all completed and done but lost all of the data but I will post the recipe; because this came out restaurant quality! I had made carne asada with a sirloin and a Mexican inspired couscous We’ll start with the steak marinade: I […]
Meal planning is essential to running a home kitchen.
I didn’t realize how important meal planning was until I lived outside of the New Orleans Metro area. We had no less than four grocery stores within a two minute drive from almost any home; therefore, you could easily pop into one on your way home from work, or even on your lunch break. That’s a convenience easily […]
Shakshouka or shakshuka? I don’t know, either way it’s damned delicious!
I first saw this flipping through channels a few months back; and, was immediately curious. I love breakfast for dinner and it just looked like the perfect combo. I started watching different YouTube vids and reading different recipes; until I finally visualized my own rendition. It’s not often that I nail a new dish on the first go, […]
