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...

Ric’s Corn Chowder
Our friend Ric Roberts sold us on his delicious Corn Chowder! Looks like he is feeding the Eastern Seaboard with the amount of ingredients he has, but man-oh-man this looks good for one of those cold winter nights when all you want to do is get into your full-length fleece onesie with feet and watch reruns on the Food Network (I hear Cavan actually has a set of these PJ’s with Hello Kitty on...

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...

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...

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 Almost 3 Hour Beef Stew
I’ve always liked a good beef stew. Something good that wouldn’t take a ton of time, easy to make and something the kids would actually eat. My kids actually ate this, and my wife liked it (also plus for my cooking). Plan for about half an hour of prep time, and 2 to 2 and a half hours to simmer. This would serve about 4-6 people. I haven’t tried this in a crock pot yet, but...

Pork-A-Palooza 2011 – Smoked Fatties
It’s November! Fall is upon us in Central Kentucky, leaves are changing colors and quickly falling to the ground; Mornings are crisp with spots of frost; Football is on several nights a week and everyone is talking about basketball! Halloween just ended and kicked off Food Season with a sugary bang! In honor of this annual event, ManCaveCuisine would like to announce Pork-A-Palooza 2011!!...

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...

Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
I had 4 of these bad boys waiting for me when I got home! Nice cold front came through, it was a long day at work and a fresh-from-the-oven chicken pot pie was the perfect meal for the evening (shhh, I ate 2!). It’s a simple meal and you can use all sorts of vegetables and meat. This was tonight’s version from a few vegetables we had lying around. Ingredients: 1 pound boneless, skinless...
