Exploring Culinary Delights and Unforgettable Destinations.
There seems to be two exceptions to the “no chicken” rule at our house–rotisserie chicken from the market (which means I don’t have to cook!) and Chicken Piccata. Or as Scott affectionately calls it, Chicken with the Green Things. If you’re not familiar with Chicken […]
Back home in Tennessee my grandparents would have a big fish fry every summer and all of our family and friends would come. My grandfather and all his friends would fish all year and save it all for the fish fry. I have so many […]
I almost always cook my ribs on the smoker, but this time, I wanted to cook them on the grill using indirect heat. I also have added some chunks of wood to the process to add that delicious smoke flavor to the ribs. I did […]
I love pickles. Crunchy, cold, dill kosher spears are my favorite although I usually try to refrain from buying them as I can go through a jar in no time at all. And we can’t forget about Minnesota Sushi (ham & pickle roll-up) which is […]
forget about all those cookies you’re baking these days and join me as I enjoy another bowl of warm, creamy mac & cheese. Five Cheeses Brown Butter Chili Mac & Cheese. Sounds dangerously good, I know. We can always hit the gym later, can we? […]
My favorite, KFC coleslaw, has 19 GRAMS PER SERVING!!! That is a whole day of carbs, in one serving! This recipe may not be quite up to KFC coleslaw standards, but it is still pretty good…and only 217 calories and 2 grams of carbs!
When I first bought a KitchenAid mixer, I was all over bread baking. Totally addicted. But my inability to make a super crusty bread with a super squishy inside caused a brief bread baking hiatus. And then I re-discovered the ever-popular New York Times bread […]
Breakfast for the girls today was hard boiled eggs, bacon, and an apple. Lunch was leftover Carne Asada London Broil for all of us. For dinner I had a few pounds of boneless pork country style ribs left so I decided to go with Korean style. I […]
I wasn’t quite expecting to be baking a decadent chocolate cake in the middle of August, but life and family like to change plans. Anyway, I’m glad they do because I finally get to share here one of my all time favorite desserts. German chocolate […]
They are called Sloppy Joes for a reason and this recipe for Sloppy Joes doesn’t disappoint. Sloppy as ever, but without added fat or added sugar or ketchup, this homemade version is really quick to prepare, very tasty, reheats beautifully for lunches, but you better […]
Do you remember the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and his obsession with Windex? …Have a zit? Put some Windex on it. Unwanted mole? Put some Windex on it. Any weird physical ailment? Put some Windex on it. Have a stomachache? Eat some sauerkraut. Indigestion after meal? Eat some sauerkraut. Fatigue? Eat some sauerkraut. If […]
Caramel Sauce that can be used on just about anything. It’s easy but decadent, perfect for any dessert that you want to make special. Rich with butter and cream, pure ingredients and no corn syrup. Put it in a cute little jar and you have […]
Are you absolutely sick of Thanksgiving food yet? I understand if you’re just over it. Most people are. Me, however? I’m still in love with holiday grub. Especially with this dressing. Every year, I wonder to myself why I only make it on Thanksgiving. I suspect it is […]
Thanksgiving is almost here, folks! This is my favorite time of the year. Everyone’s in the holiday spirit, and I get to spend time with my loved ones that I hold so dear. Not to mention, stuff my face with a whole bunch of delicious […]
Bright, citrusy, lemon gluten-free waffles stuffed with fresh blueberries. Slightly crisp on the outside; soft and pillowy on the inside. So good you’ll want to eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I rarely make breakfast. I mean, I do; it’s called Greek yogurt + […]
