My friend Leslie cooked these suckers up at a courthouse board meeting and they were nuts. We ended up making them the next night and it was a big winner with the fam. If you want something delicious that you can make in bulk, I highly recommend these. I changed the recipe a little bit … Continue reading French Onion Beef Sliders
Amazing Burger Buns
With all of this staying at home, I haven't really tried anything new cooking-wise. I saw this video and we decided to give it a go. The result was amazing! The buns ended up being just the right texture, fluffy with a little crisp to them. The taste was slightly sweet, they remind me of … Continue reading Amazing Burger Buns
Grilled Beef and Broccoli
This recipe was great, I forgot how good grilling broccoli tastes! I didn’t do anything different from the original recipe. There was very little prep, and putting it together was just a matter of timing everything right. Good weekday meal, super fast.
Nashville Hot Pork
We butcher a pig or two each year and one of my favorite things is the pork steaks. These are thin cutlets we cut from the big end of the hams and run them through a meat tenderizer. The best thing to do with them is fry them, so I went with a Nashville Hot … Continue reading Nashville Hot Pork
Spicy Chicken and Bacon Mac
We had a birthday party to go to today and this recipe popped up in Flipboard this morning. I figured I would give it a try. It turned out excellent, spicy and creamy with some smoke flavor to it from the chicken I used. If you need to make a dish for a potluck, this … Continue reading Spicy Chicken and Bacon Mac
Black Bean and Salmon Tostadas

So I was browsing around for some healthier recipes and I found this one, but was skeptical. It hit all the right buttons with Erin and Kate: avocado, check. Fish, … Continue reading Black Bean and Salmon Tostadas
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake
I wanted to make something that would make the house smell amazing on Christmas morning and I came across this recipe. It took a while to find it, the original recipe was not attached to the video that was showing in Flipboard, but I eventually found it. Prep was fun, Kate and I made the … Continue reading Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake
Daddy Chex Mix
As soon as we get done with Thanksgiving, it's Chex mix time. I think I make a good 8 or 10 batches of this stuff between Thanksgiving and Christmas and it accounts for at least a few pounds of holiday bulk around here. I've modified the original recipe slightly. Time to prep: 10 minutes Time … Continue reading Daddy Chex Mix
Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
I've tried a lot of different baked wings recipes but none of them ever got close to what a fried wing tastes like. Until now! Baking powder is the magic ingredient and you end up with really crispy wings. Add to that a simple but tasty honey sriracha glaze and you are set. Go make … Continue reading Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
Chengdu-Style Kung Pao Chicken
I managed to get around to cooking a new recipe tonight and it turned out good! Is it the same as the old China Town's Kung Pao? Nope. But it's close, and it was a fairly easy one to pull off. I will say it made a bit of a mess of my skillet, but … Continue reading Chengdu-Style Kung Pao Chicken
