Slow Cooker Bourbon Beans

I consider this time of the year to be my official start of the outdoor dining season. This means I take great lengths to keep my yard in comfortable condition and my grill is always ready for a party. Beyond their musical qualities, this recipe is sure to become a classic outdoor menu option. The [...]

Super Easy Bulgur Wheat & Fresh Herb Salad

I recently realized my slowly expanding waistline was an unfortunate side effect of writing a food blog. Dieting had been proven unsuccessful in the past. Especially for someone like me who is working on a graduate degree in food studies. This would only lead to focusing my attention on becoming more physically active. However, I [...]

Green Bean Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

It was a cold and long winter. I’m now ready to explore the fresher side of life. I’m planning to be spending my Saturday’s this summer participating in a work-and-pick program. I dedicate two hours each week digging in the dirt and tending to a community garden. In exchange for my sweat and tears, I [...]

“Green Stuff” Marshmallow Salad

This recipe has a long tradition for being a holiday staple in my family. I can’t remember a time when it wasn’t smack square in the center of the table with at least one of my siblings screaming for more “green stuff”! Even now that we are adults, my siblings still call it “green stuff”. [...]

Sautéed Swiss Chard

After my dismal first attempt at growing a tray of Swiss Chard for my Sustainable Agriculture class, I’ve been paying much closer attention to the second round of plantings. It’s been fascinating to watch the little sprouts emerge from the nutrient rich soil. They really start to look like miniature versions of the prehistoric-like leaves [...]

Slow Cooker Stuffing

It was always a family tradition to fill the cavity of the turkey with bread stuffing during Thanksgiving. Naturally, I continued such a tradition in my early adult years. My entire turkey roasting experience changed when I decided to cook the stuffing in a slow cooker while the bird cooked in the oven. This not [...]

Homemade Baked Potato Chips

I’ve been making baked potato chips for years. But I never considered posting the recipe to CulinaryCory.com because I thought it might be a little too simple for your reading enjoyment. So I decided to ask my Facebook followers what they thought about the idea. Much to my surprise I almost immediately started receiving enthusiastic [...]

Roasted Corn & Zucchini Salad

One of the talents I seem to have is the ability to take parts of several ingredients and create a complete meal. During a recent family visit to Pittsburgh, I found myself with three ears of corn that was leftover from a previous dinner. While in need of a delicious side dish, I wasn’t in [...]

Grilled Seasonal Vegetables

I don’t know if it’s the warmer weather or if my taste buds are changing with age. But I’m finding myself leaning toward more seasonal and cleaner flavors. I’m also starting to incorporate new ways to make my recipes easier without crossing into the “semi-homemade” world of cooking. Roasting vegetables is a common practice in [...]

Grilled Asparagus with Crumbled Feta

Late last summer I discovered a farmer’s market that is along my route home from work. Sometimes I would even stop by before heading home even if I didn’t need anything just to see the bounty of the local harvest first hand. It actually became pretty therapeutic and a great way to unwind after the [...]
