Genghis Grill (11500 Midlothian Turnpike) opened last week in Chesterfield Towne Center. Open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., the stir-fry restaurant offers heart healthy and "build your own bowl" selections. Call (804) 420-8888.
The bill runs higher here than your typical burger joint. But given the quality flavors Burger Bach is putting forth, I'm willing to pay a little extra.
Smooth, sweet, cold and just the ticket for contracting brain freeze on a hot summer day. There's a reason milkshakes are a staple of childhood.
Weeknight Mole Chicken EnchiladasStart to finish: 30 minutes
Memorial Day weekend welcomes in the grilling season for many people. And red meat often has a prime place on those grills: steaks, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs and brats.
Here's a favorite from The Times-Dispatch archives: In a skillet over medium, brown ground chicken and onion until chicken is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in oregano, garlic salt and cooked rice.
The scent of green garlic reminds me of tromping through woods and farm fields this spring on a quest for morels (ultimately a middling success, but fun, nonetheless, for the hunt).
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and the outdoor cooking season, so say goodbye to your oven and head for the grill with some ground beef.
Q: Can I freeze red wine? I opened a bottle and used only 1 cup for a sauce, but I hate to waste the rest.
Chocolate and cherry are a classic combination that really stand out in this milkshake.
As I stood at the cutting board slicing slabs of thick skin off a fresh pineapple, a thought occurred to me: The strips of skin were an awful lot like the cedar planks some people use to add flavor to food on the grill. Perhaps they could be used the same way.

Turkey salad with fresh tarragon, crostini spread with homemade pesto and a refreshing mint mojito on a hot summer day. What do these things have in common? Fresh herbs.

Glossary for Lebanese Food Festival
Growing up in Connecticut, our family dinners revolved around thick grilled steaks, roasted chickens, the occasional boiled lobster. And I was bored almost beyond eating.
Friday kicks off the three-day Lebanese Food Festival at St. Anthony where a small army of volunteers has fed upward of 35,000 hungry people from all over the area.
Many people are aware of calcium's and vitamin D's roles in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This condition leads to thinning bones and increased fractures. What they may not know is that their food and beverage choices might raise their risk.
During a recent visit to a food festival in South Carolina, I was lucky enough to be invited to the home of Nathalie Dupree, cookbook author and Southern entertainer extraordinaire.
When you're out all day playing in the warm spring sun, you don't want to come home to the laborious task of making a complex meal. The solution is a quick soup.
