Hi there! I'm Peggy Lampman -
Food writer by trade, curious cook by design. The past 30 years have witnessed a raucous race from my professional to home kitchen - persnickety customers, petulant children and piles of dirty dishes lie in my wake. A scary ride, indeed, but I survived. And the dinnerFeeds - well - they are my story. Welcome to my site! More about Peggy and this site...

My Travels
Taste buds prickle; wanderlust triggered. An Argentine barbecue (asado) enticed me to Patagonia. A friend gave me a vial of ground sumac berries--4 months later I was waking at dawn to the "Call To Prayer" in Turkey. Porcini to Tuscany, and so on.

Potato-Corn Chowder with Sausage
Low-fat, easily thrown together soups can easily be created with ingredients picked up at roadside stands. I didn’t add cream or add flour-butter roux to thicken this batch; the fresh flavor of September corn and thickening power of lightly smashed potatoes was plenty satisfying. As well, these freshly dug, thin-skinned white potatoes did not need … Full recipe post
Frogmore Stew
Scooped again from the pages of Runner’s World magazine, my ongoing monthly copycat recipe is a winner. (To see other Runner’s World, healthy recipes, go to dinnerFeed.comand type ‘Runner’s World’ into the search box.) Tonight’s dinnerFeed features Pam Anderson’s recipe from the September issue of Runner’s World. I was delighted to see this recipe, named … Full recipe post
Reduced-Fat Fettuccine Alfredo
The crocus and hyacinth are making a splashy showing in the yard with tulips and daffodils nudging themselves through the soil. The forecast is promising temperatures hovering in the seventies – if I could turn a cartwheel without breaking my neck I would. I’m even encouraged (with my husband, Richard’s, pleas) to dust off my running … Full recipe post
Chicken Souse
Some folks think the best cure for a hangover is to have another drink – this further indulgence is sometimes referred to as “the hair of the dog that bit you.” Richard, my uber-health-conscious husband, is quite concerned by that rational – indeed, concerned by behavior that would give one a bad hangover in the … Full recipe post
Spaghetti Carbonara
Deliciously decadent! And I don’t need to be reminded I ate another deliciously decadent Amalfi coast spaghetti recipe, buttery Spaghetti with Fried Calamari, last week. But never mind; I crave classic Italian comfort foods when the weather is cruddy. Guiliano Bugialli, cookbook author and veritable master of Italian cuisine, specifically instructs not to use bacon when … Full recipe post
Borscht (Beet Soup)
Tonight Richard and I are planning to watch a favorite movie classic, “Dr. Zhivago”, and I wanted some treats to complement the movie. We’re looking for comfort to get us through another wintry March evening and a bottle of Stolichnaya Pepper Vodka is tempting. Yet thrashing back shots of vodka doesn’t seem a wise idea, … Full recipe post
Red Beans and Rice with Andouille
My niece, a grad student at Tulane, loves living in New Orleans. Family trips to this fabled American city have always been more fun because of her “insider” knowledge. Except for the time she took us to Mid-City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl, a live music and dance venue set in the middle of a bowling … Full recipe post
Smokey Quinoa Chili
Detox Resolution Recipe Series: Using whole grains, vegetables, lean meats and healthier fats in recipes you may find taste really good! It’s chili-season and I’m chili-hungry. I’ve got a knock-your-socks-off recipe for chili, inspired by an Eden recipe, that will not only nourish your body, but it will funnel money back into our state’s economy. The catch is … Full recipe post
(Spanish) Chicken and Rice
Detox Resolution Recipe Series: Using whole grains, vegetables, lean meats and healthier fats in recipes you may find taste really good! Chicken and rice. I know. It sounds like a fifties comfort food recipe: Combine 1 can of creamed soup with chicken, add instant rice and bake until done. Although the following (absurdly delicious) recipe is a … Full recipe post
Mediterranean Chicken Stew
Why do I prefer boneless, skinless chicken thighs to breasts? Let me count the ways: 1. Thighs are less expensive than chicken breasts. 2. Thighs (to my palate) are more flavorful than chicken breasts. 3. Thighs are more difficult to overcook than chicken breasts. I know most folks disagree with my assessment and they do … Full recipe post
Korean Hot Pot
Some tightly wound, ancient DNA thread must still exist in humankind, beckoning and weaving us together around a simmering, communal pot of soup; especially in winter. And when a tribal, family member or friend ventures forth tossing a new ingredient into this fragrant brew, it’s a reminder that in these cold, frigid months, we’re not … Full recipe post
Rogan Josh (Chicken Curry)
Detox Resolution Recipe Series: Using whole grains, vegetables, lean meats and healthier fats in recipes you may find taste really good! My culinary world has expanded considerably since beginning my dinnerFeed blog last spring. Primarily because of the fascinating feedback and networking that transpires around certain recipes. If on-line feedback is a good barometer, whenever I post a recipe … Full recipe post
Thai Chicken Noodle Soup
Detox Resolution Recipe Series: Using whole grains, vegetables, lean meats and healthier fats in recipes that you may find taste really good! My friend Kathy is visiting from Colorado and came down with a miserable cold. Thankfully the symptoms aren’t alarming enough to warrant drugs, so I’m reverting to the age-old restorative cure: Chicken Noodle … Full recipe post
Hop ‘n John (Good Luck Pea Dish)
Happy New Years! I wish all of you a potful of good luck, prosperity and happiness in the coming year! I always hedge the monetary odds by eating a dish of Hoppin’ John, a black-eyed pea dish typically served in the south on New Year’s Day. Earliest memory recalls my tiny fingers plucking out the … Full recipe post
Bouillaibaisse
Visualize you’re in Marseilles, France, the gateway to Provence and largest seaport town on the Mediterranean coastline. You listen to the clamor of seaport sounds in Vieux Port and the swell of the sea on the scraggly shoreline; you gaze at the sky as dusk turns the heavenly azure a fiery red; finally you savor … Full recipe post
