My name is Barbara, and I'm The Awkward Chef! I love a good meal, but seriously lack the skills to make one. This blog will document my cooking successes and failures as I learn to become more comfortable in the kitchen.
Chrissy’s Buffalo Chicken Dip
21. November 2011 by Barbara
She has always been the cook in the family. When you’d complain there was nothing in the house to eat, she’d be able to make a great meal out of a few ingredients, something I was always jealous of.
There’s probably 100 different recipes for buffalo chicken dip out there, but my sister’s is the best. Is it possible to be addicted to a dip? Because I can’t get enough of this stuff! Now that I have the recipe, I always make sure I have the ingredients in my fridge to make it. I’m pretty sure I have a problem!
Portuguese Kale Soup (Caldo Verde)
21. November 2011 by Barbara
There are many perks to dating my boyfriend, but one of the best is being introduced lots of different foods. While meatballs, pasta and a good sauce will always be my favorite. I’m growing quite fond of Portuguese food.
Caldo Verde, or Portuguese Kale Soup, is a staple in Portuguese homes and is served everywhere from fancy restaurants to small cafés.
Packed with kale, it’s one of the best foods you can eat, so you get your vitamins without having to eat something that tastes like cardboard. A win-win!
