Tilapia with Sweet Corn Puree, Potato Cakes, and Spinach Salad
Brian’s wife, Heather, decided to stretch the culinary legs and venture into uncharted territory. Based closely on a dish by Cat Cora, this heart healthy dish was truly a splash (see what I did there? Fish => Splash Hahahaha I entertain myself so well!). So on to the good stuff: Ingredients: 2 cups baby spinach 1 cup lima beans 1 1/4 cup sweet kernel corn 1/2 cup thinly sliced red...

Bacon-Wrapped, Stuffed Jalapeno’s, BBQ, And UK!!
This weekend, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, was a day surely to be repeated as an annual event for the King Family. We decided to fore-go the traditional Thanksgiving Day Turkey and Ham and smoke a beef brisket. The brisket (with a simple BBQ rub) was on the smoker starting at noon, just about the time the Kentucky Wildcats Football Team started their victory march against Tennessee, breaking...

Alex’s Grilled Jalapeno Beer Cheese
Jalapeno Beer Cheese! All of the Man Cave peeps have been working on their own version of beer cheese. I have a couple of variations of an original batch I’d love to share. With a simple base recipe, you can add more flavor to kick it up a notch or two on the heat factor. What you’ll need: Food Processor (2) cups of extra sharp cheddar cheese 1/4 cup (or more, up to half a cup)...

Country Ham Sliders
As the holidays fast approach, I wanted to focus on some traditional ingredients in a not-so-traditional way. Country Ham is a salt-cured product that is sometimes smoked and aged for 2-3 years. It has a uniquely salty flavor that when paired with other flavors, can be a great addition or the star in a dish. For my take on this, I started with sliced country ham steaks from Browning’s Country...

Walking Tacos and Bacon Hot Dogs
Food covers all gamuts. There is Michelin Star Restaurants, 4 Star chefs, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and sometimes you get introduced to some new types of food (not everything has to be gourmet ya know). So this weekend I spent 2 days at Camp McKee in Central Kentucky with my 9-yr-old cub scout. Along with learning about knots, proper clothing for camping, shooting BB guns, and building a fire,...

Terri’s Death Casserole
We named this dish lovingly as a tongue-in-cheek homage to my mother’s casserole she bakes and gives to families who have experienced a loss. In the great tradition of cooking a homemade dish and giving it to the suffering family, this has been her go-to staple and I am now passing it on to you! Also, at the end is a few notes on how it has changed into quick and easy dish for our family...

You Put WHAT On That Burger? (Buffalo Chicken Dip Burger)
Right off the bat I’m going to say I regret not having a photo of this burger because this burger looks as good as it tastes–and it tastes GOOD. My friends Erin and Mike (particularly Mike) have a standing request for me to bring my Buffalo Chicken Dip to any gathering, and I happily oblige. The dip is very much a basic Buffalo Chicken Dip (recipe will follow). Well, one night a...
