A list of all the recipes Colleen Bloxham has tested.
White Bean and Chicken Chili
Stop your scoffing. This may not be conventional chili, but it’s no sissy imposter. It’s just a little subtler, soupier, and smokier.
Fancy Tuna Melt
A tuna melt is a tuna melt is a tuna melt, right? Uh, not exactly. This is a welcome departure from what we choked down as children.
Pastrami, Caramelized Onion, and Gruyère Sandwich
Not every stack of meat slapped between some slices of bread qualifies as a proper supper. This one does.
Bacon Jam
Maybe what the world needs is a single currency. Like jars of this sweet, rich, intense bacon jam that makes everything better.
Maple Pecan Pie
Distinct from other pecan pies in one notable way, this recipe draws on robust maple syrup to usurp cloying corn syrup. You’re welcome.
Beer-Braised Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are coaxed to incredible taste and tenderness in this stew that sneaks in root vegetables bathed in beer. Simple to make. Complex in taste. Unforgettable all around.
Green Smoothie
Close your eyes and we swear you’d never guess this sweet, banana-y smoothie is suffused with good-for-you greens.
Pickled Carrots
Perhaps the quickest pickles ever, these tongue-tinglingly tangy specimens stack flavor on flavor all in the span of a few minutes of work and a few hours of waiting.
Lamb Burger with Arugula, Feta, and Cucumbers
For something so unexpectedly unconventional, this melding of burger, lamb, feta, arugula, cucumber, and lemon tastes remarkably intuitive.
