Twice Baked Potatoes My twice-baked potatoes are one of my guilty food pleasures in life. I probably gain about 5 pounds consuming this meal. My recipe has evolved over the years and now includes cheese, bacon, morel and chanterelle mushrooms, onions, chives, and sour cream. These are also amazing as leftovers. Ingredients 12 large russet…

The Hadland Christmas Meal 🍖
The holidays are my favorite time to plan and prepare meals for my family. I especially love Christmas as I love my bone-in prime rib roast. I should prepare this more often as it’s a simple, amazingly satisfying dish. I am inspired by my Grandmother, Elizabeth Wisher, who always put on a wonderful dinner during…
Chimichurri 🧄🍃🌿
I started making chimichurri this past year after a few episodes of cooking with fire with my good friend Nick Haddow. Nick gave me a copy of Francis Malman’s book “Seven Fires”, a cookbook focused on cooking meat with fire and his Argentinian cooking style. Often served with a flank or skirt steak, chimichurri goes…
Grilled Corn Greek Salad 🌽
This super simple salad has become one of my favorites of this 2022 summer. It’s easy to make, packs some complex flavors together, and I think the charred corn with the reserve sherry vinegar add just enough “Je ne sais quoi” to really make this salad pop! Ingredients 6 ears of corn 2 English cucumbers…
Chicken Souvlaki Skewers with Tzatziki 🐓
I have been making this dish all summer in an attempt to reduce my steak consumption. It is super easy to make, tastes fantastic with the tzatziki, and is relatively healthy. I like to pair it with my Grilled Corn Greek Salad – channeling my inner Zorba the Greek. My family and friends love it,…
Gazpacho 🍅
I love to cook seasonal foods, especially fresh produce from the Pike Place Market. This summer, I decided to make gazpacho. It has been about ten years since I last made this dish, and was excited to make it again and find a recipe I liked. I reviewed several recipes from NY Times Cooking, Cooks…
Chicken Picatta 🍗🍋
Chicken Picatta is one of my family’s favorite dishes. My family loves it as it’s wonderfully delicious, combines great savory and briny flavors – rich artichoke hearts, capers, buttery chardonnay wine, fresh lemon, served with fine capellini, and meaty chicken breasts. I serve this dish heavy on a sauce laden with artichoke hearts and capers…
Pantry Lasagne 🥫
It was mid-December and I was in the mood to cook something new and unconventional (for now) in the Hadland Household. I was performing some pantry review, looking at jars, spices, sauces, seasonings, oils, vinegars, and the like, and I noticed that I had several cans of tomato products, procured some time ago, well-intentioned to…
Steak au Poivre 🥩
It’s been a few months since I have posted after a recent spate of cooking many varieties of #thehadburger this summer and fall. I was reviewing many recipes coming into my inbox and Steak au Poivre caught my attention. I rarely order this at steakhouses as I often am a purist and prefer salt and…
HadBurger V 🍔
It’s summertime and grilling season (well for me it’s all year long) and we have company in town. Rhone’s friend Andrzej is up from California and I invited my good friend Glenn over for #hadburgers. Heirloom tomatoes are in season and they are by far one of my favorite foods. For HadBurgerV I used a…
