Tso, What's Cooking? April 25, 2012. Strawberry Field of Dreams with Sabayon. Strawberry season is in flux and as I trial variations of strawberry hand pies with pre-made puff pastry to attempting pastry dough from scratch, here's a simple strawberry recipe to satisfy a late night dessert craving until I find a presentable hand pie recipe to share. Strawberries (as much as you want/don't want). 1/8 cup of sugar. Juice from 1/2 of lemon. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 3 Gently fold the two together. Add in the ...

Tso, What's Cooking? February 27, 2012. Forget the Texas 'Winter,' I'm Making Braised Beef Short Ribs (Take 2). It's February and a humid 70 degrees outside. I think the lowest temp this winter (or whatever Texas winter we get) has been high 30's for oh, a few days? When I think (and feel) winter, I crave hearty soups, roasted and braised meats, chili, bread pudding. These past few months, I think I have made one each of the above when I normally make them several times. 3 beef short ribs. 3 With a hot d...

Tso, What's Cooking? August 23, 2011. Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta. When you have that one tomato left in the fridge or some rotisserie chicken leftovers, this is the easiest dish to make - granted, not the healthiest but easy and satisfying. Pesto is a staple in my fridge and with my abundance of basil in my garden, I like to make pesto. Creamy Pesto Pasta with Chicken and Tomatoes. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 4 large spoonfuls of pesto (approximately 4-5 tbspn but really to your taste). 3 Take 4 large spoonfuls...

Tso, What's Cooking? October 22, 2011. Vodka pasta always seems like a treat when I go to an Italian restaurant, not thinking I can make it at home. I have tried Ina's vodka pasta recipe and while it turned out well, I was put-off by the complexity of the recipe and the 3 hour cooking time. This basic vodka sauce is from Giada and more importantly, is easy and quick - about 45 min to an hour. Vodka Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes. 6 garlic cloves (peeled and chopped). 1 tbsp dried thyme. 1 tbsp dried oregano.

http://tso-whatscooking.blogspot.com/2011/05/beef-short-ribs-with-rice.html
Tso, What's Cooking? May 01, 2011. Beef Short Ribs with Rice. This is a recipe that I tried a while ago but just haven't had the time to pull it together into a post. I've had beef rib plenty of times but had yet to venture and try to cook any type of dish that required this particular cut of meat. Pork ribs, no problem. Those are a staple in my freezer for whenever I have a craving for Pork Sinagang - thanks to my awesome brother in law for teaching me that dish! Adapted from Barefoot Contessa. 2 Take t...

Tso, What's Cooking? February 22, 2012. My Perfect Cup of Coffee. Happiness. There's no question that I love my cup (or two) of coffee in the morning. Have you seen the Folger's commercial where the smell wakes everyone in the house and everyone has a smile on their face? That's me. The smell of coffee makes me extra happy. A morning without my coffee is a morning you don't want to be around me. 4 Add the top and let this sit for a few minutes. 6 With unsweetened soy, I add 2.5 to 3 teaspoons of suga...
