Olive chicken

Olives are in the top 5 for my favorite snacks of all times.  Normally in the fridge are plastic containers of blue cheese stuffed, jalapeno stuffed, kalamata, nicoise, manzanilla, and a bunch more ready for snacking. 
I feel like a bad used car commercial when I say I was overstocked and needed to get rid of some.  […]

Wasabi Coleslaw

Years ago my old boss walked into my office and threw a bottle of ground wasabi at me with a recipe.  She then explained that she got this recipe and went out and bought ground wasabi for it.  Proceeded to make the dish, tried it, and could not breathe.  Apparently she underestimated the strength of wasabi […]

Smoked beef ribs
