Easy At-Home Shrimp Boil

June 28, 2015 by Maggie Jones 2 Comments

The best parts of a shrimp boil in your own kitchen

Fresh corn, red potatoes, and plump shrimp simmered in traditional Old Bay seasoning make a crazy fun Summer meal that’s as delicious as it is easy to put together. Brad took me to my first crawfish boil several years ago and I loved the relaxed, easy atmosphere – especially considering that the hosts were cooking…

Heirloom Tomato, Melon, and Burrata Salad

June 10, 2015 by Maggie Jones 1 Comment

Heirloom tomato, melon, and burrata salad

This is the first Summer in years we haven’t bought season tickets to the Hollywood Bowl. Between my work schedule and saving for a new property it seemed like the smart move and so far I haven’t missed it. We’re still planning to catch a few shows but don’t have every weekend planned. The Hollywood…

Peruvian Pollo Asado

June 5, 2015 by Maggie Jones 2 Comments

This simple but exotic tasting Pollo Asado brings you all the flavors of Peru

In May, Brad and I experimented with three different interpretations of Pollo Asado: Mexican, Cuban and Peruvian.  While all were delicious and will be shared here soon, the Peruvian chicken was the favorite at Chez Jones. The crispy skin and moist, flavorful meat guarantee we’ll be making it again soon. I’ve cooked chicken on a…

Quick and easy Creole chicken with rice and bean

This hearty, one-pot meal is perfect for busy weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time for cooking and dishes but don’t want to compromise on taste or quality. With much less chopping and fewer steps than my other go-to rice-based meals like jambalaya, arroz con pollo, or Cuban black beans and rice, this…

Neto’s Perfect Michelada

May 2, 2015 by Maggie Jones Leave a Comment

The perfect Michelada - ultimate refreshment in minutes

Micheladas are my Green Eggs and Ham.  For years I insisted they must be gross and wondered loudly and snobbily why anyone would adulterate delicious beer with Clamato.  Luckily, our friend Neto came by one day with all the fixings and crafted one of these delicious drinks in our kitchen.  One sip was all it…

Super Skinny Creamy Spinach Pasta Primavera

April 26, 2015 by Maggie Jones 4 Comments

Gluten-free, vegan pasta primavera that's just 150 calories a serving

Does a giant bowl of creamy noodles packed with Spring vegetables for under 150 calories sound too good to be true?  Creamy AND vegan? Noodles AND gluten-free? Brad didn’t believe me either until I used this recipe to try out Miracle Noodle’s new spinach shirataki noodles. Granted, this is a very different dish that your…

Vegan Spanish Chickpeas with Chorizo

April 22, 2015 by Maggie Jones Leave a Comment

Spanish chorizo and chickpeas (vegan)

I spent last week in London and Porto for work. It was a crazy hectic few days trying to accomplish everything that needed to be done and, while it was beautiful and wonderfully productive, I ended up averaging just 4-5 hours of sleep a night (not much by my lazy standards) and was pretty worn…

Moroccan grilled chicken and vegetables with yogurt dill sauce

This tender, succulent Moroccan-spiced chicken breast served with flavorful grilled vegetables is the dish of the month at Chez Jones and will probably be the dish of the Summer. I’d been working on the recipe in my head for a few weeks and it turned out even more delicious than I hoped. Served with bitter…

Mushroom Bourginon

Mushroom Bourginon over Potatoes - Gluten-free, vegan meal

Whoa! Somehow over four months have passed since we made and photographed this.  I probably would have forgotten to do it if I weren’t ready to make it again and looking for the recipe. Granted, having been born and raised vegetarian I’ve never had Beef Bourginon but I can’t imagine it’s any tastier than this vegan…
