Hibachi Chicken

This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Hibachi Chicken

Hibachi is a family favorite for celebrations for many families in the US. I think life is cause for celebration, and now restaurants are more expensive than ever, so if we just feel like celebrating life without the expense, here's how we do it! We love our "outdoor kitchen". It's nothing fancy, but we grill and smoke to our heart's content on our little side porch. There's nothing more iconic than hibachi chicken and fried rice and zucchini!

Cheese Blintz Pancakes

There are no easier pancakes than these to make, and you should always double this recipe. Always! It's so delicious and light and packs a little protein punch with the cottage cheese. It is a helluva lot less work than homemade blintzes and satisfies the taste buds that sometimes crave a cheese blintz. You know what I mean? It can't just be me. (Can it?) I love a good cheese blintz, and this recipe is a much healthier alternative made in minutes. Do not skip the lemon zest. Do not, I repeat, do not skip the lemon zest! Listen to me. You know, Mama knows best.

Kill-her Quiche

I love a good quiche! It sounds fancy because it's French, and foreigners and their Romance languages make everything sound so purdy.

One thing that is truly important on most days in my magic kitchen is ease. Shit has got to be easy. I'm not a trained chef; I'm a simple home cook. I've got a boarding house reach and NY middle-class manners, and I'm not fucking apologizing for who I am.

Viral Sushi Bake

This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: Viral Sushi Bake

When my hubster and I started dating 20 years ago, he lived in Memphis, and I lived in Nashville. Our first dates usually lasted a weekend and involved a lot of going out to dinner to all the different restaurants that I loved in the area. He came to trust my taste in food.

So when I was craving sushi and said, "Hey, I'm in the mood for sushi tonight. Do you want to go get some?" He told me that he had never had sushi, and I literally felt my heart drop into my stomach. Thinking, “It's over. This will not work out.”

He's not the best dancer. Lord knows he was born with two right feet. He's a lefty. And he doesn't eat sushi? Total dealbreaker. But to my surprise, he said, "Well, it's called BAIT where I'm from, but every place you've taken me has been awesome, so let's go." I told him I would give him the beginner sushi, and he said, "Nope! If I'm gonna try it, I'm gonna do it for real. Give it to me raw." And I did.
