I’ve never had a sweet-and-salty curry combination, but this was pretty rad. Once again, I gobbled through this bowl of popcorn in no time and mentally added this to my list of movie-watching snacks. Spicy-sweet curry popcorn and maybe a bottle of dark winter ale? Absolutely.

This is a perfect summer side dish that highlights so many great flavors that you just can’t get year round. So take advantage! Make up a big bowl even if you’re not feeding a large crowd; it keeps quite well in the fridge.

Bill and I had one of those great, lazy Sundays where we just wandered around a few Chicago neighborhoods until we were ready to eat dinner. He decided on this recipe and we had a little kitchen/grill collaboration on a gorgeous late afternoon — complete with some hoppy brews from Ohio left by a friend.

This salad has simple ingredients that end with a big result. The chickpeas and seasonings are so earthy, but the salad on top really cools things off and brightens the entire dish.

Bill was in the mood for some kebabs, and he landed on this well-spiced lamb recipe. He found the recipe, cooked it up and let me snap photos — and claim at least a teensy bit of credit. We had these kebabs with the chickpea salad I posted Monday, and it was the perfect complement.

My friend Drew made these meatballs at a restaurant he used to work at in Chicago, and they were always awesome. When I got my hands on some ground duck — and I knew this meatball guide was on the horizon — I shot Drew a text and he was kind enough to not only send me the recipe, but convert it down from massive restaurant portions.

I cut up the chicken and mixed the sauce the night before so I could just toss all the ingredients in the slow-cooker the next morning. What could be better than having lunch (or dinner) ready and waiting? Especially when it makes your apartment smell like the best and coziest Indian restaurant.

This dish was the direct result of being forced to stay indoors for about three days straight and NOT wanting to spend those days in a pasta coma. Like much of the rest of the country, Chicago was buried in snow and below-freezing temperatures for a few days this month. With just enough pantry staples and plenty of time to think, I came up with a surprising and very tasty meal.

I tasted this soup before adding the lemon, and it had sort of a heavy, starchy consistency. Adding the juice from half a lemon changed the soup entirely, and for the better. If you’re ever experimenting with a new recipe (or creating one of your own), always stop to consider the balance. In this case, all it took was a splash of acidity to even things out.

Are pumpkin flavors just for fall time? Absolutely not. It is a winter squash, after all. Pumpkin is chock full of vitamin A, which helps maintain your immune system while your entire office or family is sick.
