Salt and Pepper Fish Fillets

June 9, 2021 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

Most days I’m lazy and don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about or preparing dinner. That’s why this is my preferred and most frequent method of preparing fish. Luckily I live in a place where it’s easy to obtain fresh, local fish. But don’t be shy, ask the sales person which fish…

Grandma’s Best Fruit Cobbler Recipe

May 31, 2021 by Finite Foodie 2 Leave a Comment

cherry-cobbler

This recipe was inspired by our Peach Cobbler with Ginger recipe. I am always looking for ways to create slightly healthier dessert recipes that my kids will enjoy. I also love looking for ways to adapt recipes to be gluten free or vegan. While this one still calls for regular butter, it works very well…

Easy Coleslaw

July 26, 2020 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

Here’s a simple and refreshing recipe for a classic, creamy coleslaw. Add a little mint if you have some in the garden for a little interest. We like to make this a few hours ahead of time (or the day before) since it tastes even better after it has time to absorb the dressing.

Hunter’s Chicken

May 20, 2020 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

This is a simplified and updated version of a classic French dish, poulet sauté chasseur, which means hunter’s chicken in English. You can make it using chicken breasts instead, but we think the richer dark meat of the thighs tastes best with this sauce. The addition of sliced green olives adds color and tang. Use…

Turkey Meatballs

This recipe focuses on using turkey, but you can easily swap that out for another meat you have available. This recipe is also easily made gluten free. If you’re looking…

Swiss Chard and Beans with Pasta

February 19, 2020 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

We have a number of vegetarian pasta recipes that make a healthful one-dish meal, and this is one of our favorites. We’re big fans of Swiss chard, but feel free to save time by substituting fresh baby spinach or kale, which come in 4 to 6-ounce packages that are pre-washed and ready to use. If…

Filet Mignon with Fresh Sage

February 11, 2020 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

I know, filet mignon is expensive, and that’s not what we do here. It’s true that most of our recipes are for the cost-conscious new cook, but everyone deserves a splurge every once in a while, right? You don’t need to buy a large piece of filet mignon since it is so rich and delicious….

HOW TO SET UP YOUR FIRST KITCHEN (Click on photo to read more.)

KITCHEN ESSENTIALS

Our concept for the Finite Foodie® has these simple goals in mind —

1. To provide simple, clear steps for setting up your first, probably small kitchen with a minimal amount of equipment and investment.

2. To teach you cooking basics,  terminology and terms, and common conversions and equivalents.

3. To inspire you with healthful, easy recipes.

When we simmer a chicken in water (see our recipe for Slow Cooked Chicken) we end up with a pot full of rather bland chicken broth. No problem! Once we’ve removed the meat, we add the carcass back to the broth, throw in some vegetables and make a rich and complex bone broth. You can…
