Or better, the struggle. Back in 2012, I wrote a recipe in Ami on how to properly roast chestnuts. Or better, looking back, that was what I thought was the ONLY way one should eat a chestnut. I was still very new here and very European and very much homesick, especially for the roasted chestnuts…

Silan Sweet Potato Fry Salad
A Tahini Dressing is the perfect match for these silan-roasted sweet potatoes. One day, Esti posted on our “BCP New Content” chat that she had made sweet potato fries that were particularly good. “Didn’t measure. French fry blade. Oil, teriyaki, silan, salt, garlic powder, sesame seeds. 425F for about 25 min. Yum!! Gonna put it…
Silan Sweet Potato Fries
They take two minutes to toss together, with a flavor that transcends the quick prep. Enjoy them fresh, or use them to make a salad really special. I’ve been making sweet potato fries the same way for a couple years now and decided we needed a change…Something with bigger flavor. I put on a bit…
Maple Soy Rotisserie-Style Chicken Thighs
Sweet and salty, quick and easy, and simply a great chicken.

Japanese Sweet Potato & Feta Salad
It’s simple, but all you need are these sweet potatoes as the star. I really, really enjoy Japanese sweet potatoes, more than regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, or any other type. True, they’re not in every grocery, but they’re available in enough places (I can think of three places that I often shop at that carry…

Crock-Pot Chicken and Potatoes
Because, some days, you need to leave your house knowing that dinner will be waiting for you when you walk through that door. Coming home, after being out working all day, to a cooked dinner, sounds like the solution to all problems. Right? If we could just nail dinner, we would be fine. And true,…
One Pan Chicken Nuggets and Fries
Why didn’t we think of this before? The one pan, no mess, family-friendly chicken dinner that everyone will love. One of the team members recently asked the others, “Do you remember how long we used to spend cooking dinner?” As newlyweds, dinner used to take all day to make. Then we learned to make dinner…
