I've made some references to a new project on the horizon, and it's finally here. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce my new blog: What Would Betty ...

Gyro-Style Lamb Over Quinoa
I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten lamb, and I've never particularly enjoyed it. While it might be a perfectly reasonable meal, I just can't get over the fact that nobody has ever renamed this meat for the sake of marketing. I mean, let's face it, we've spent our entire ...
New Project in the Works
I'm not going to bore you with the details of my new project yet -- at least not until I have more details to share -- but I will tell you that it's ...
The Power of Food
On three separate occasions this past week, I've had the same conversation. "I checked out your blog," they all said. "I love the recipes!" This always blows me away. I started posting the recipes just because I have a personal tendency to print out a new one, modify it in some way, and then proceed to ...

I walked through the door of the kickboxing studio and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the instructor seemed genuinely happy that I had returned. I explained that I wanted to give it a ...
Bechamel and Lasagna
By adding some bechamel sauce and cheese to my bolognese sauce, you can make the best lasagna ever. Oh sure, I'm biased, but I much prefer this creamy sauce to soggy ricotta. Personal preference. Bechamel Sauce This recipe is enough for one 8x8 lasagna. For a larger lasagna, double the recipe. Ingredients 5 Tbsp ...
Bolognese
There are few recipes that violate my general rule of being able to prepare them in less than an hour on a weeknight. This is one of them, and it is worth every moment that you spend on it. I make a ton at once so that I have plenty of leftovers. It also forms ...
Easy “Cuban” Chicken
I'm not the biggest fan of Florida, but I am a huge fan of Cuban cuisine. I've been making recipes from Three Guys From Miami since their cookbook was nothing more than a random collection of recipes online; I highly recommend investing in both
Slow Cooker Pepper Pork Chops
I haven't been doing a good job of updating the recipes that the Tiny Kitchen Assistant and I have tried, but I'll do my best to catch up in the coming days. Today's recipe: Alton Brown's slow cooker pepper pork chops. I'm a sucker for meat that falls apart after prolonged cooking, ...
