Eggcellently Simple Breakfast
Hi Everybody! This winter (or lack thereof) really put a damper on my cooking. I had a lot of: stews, soups, braises, and chilies planned; however, it never really got cold enough to kick those creative juices into full gear. Oh well, there’s always next year. In the meantime bring on meals outside, fresh veggies, farmer’s market finds, sauces, rubs, and grill marks. Here is a simple...

Braised Short Ribs
When we were discussing the idea of having a food website this was the first recipe I thought of to share. I love making this dish on a Sunday afternoon. It takes about an hour to prep, but it’s the kind of prep work I really like: chopping veggies, browning meat, and drinking wine. Our good friends at Smith’s American Beef sent us couple pounds of short ribs, and let me tell you, nothing is better...

Cedar Plank Salmon
I always feel strange writing salmon because it kind of feels like I’m making fun of people that say it “SAL-mon”. But we’ll save my hang-ups for another day. This dish is in my Top 3 favorite things that I cook. I love love love it. I’ll also let you in on a little secret. It’s even better the next day, cold, served on crackers with a Manhattan–props to my Father-In-Law,...

What, No Turkey Leftovers? Lettuce Wrap Up Your Holiday Season…
Hello everyone! I’ve kind of laid low this last month but I’m very happy to have a new post for (as my mother-in-law would say) “yous guys”. Last week Whitney and I were in the mood to snack more than have a full dinner so I whipped up a batch of lettuce wraps. And, as a nod to the Chinese Restaurant scene in A Christmas Story I thought a pseudo Chinese dish would be PERFECT for this time...

Ice Cream Muffins
The holidays are a great time to whip out fun and easy recipes. And, brother, do I have a recipe that is as fun as it is easy. Ice Cream Muffins! These little dandies are perfect for breakfast or snacking. And, when I say they’re easy, I mean E-A-S-Y! For starters you’ll want to pick up a pint of your favorite ice cream. I use Ben and Jerry’s Karamel Sutra and Banana Split. If you are going...

Crock-Pot Country Ribs and Sauerkraut
Autumn and Winter are my favorite times of year to cook. Sure, cooking an all-grilled meal is a staple of summer. And, yes, a Low Country Boil spread out on newspapers, and shared with friends, is a wonderful way to spend an evening in the back yard. But, braises, roasts, chili, and in this case, a slow simmered crock-pot meal is the bees-knees if you ask me. If you don’t use your crock-pot very...

Eggs In Purgatory
This dish goes by a couple different names: Eggs In Purgatory, Uova in Brodetto, or simply Baked Eggs in Tomato Sauce. I’ve tried this dish a couple of different ways but the thick marinara sauce that I’ll post below is by far my favorite. Too thin of a sauce doesn’t hold up that well in the oven and too chunky of a sauce is not as bread dipping friendly. Like a BLT, you can eat this for breakfast,...
