Grilled salmon with dill caper vinaigrette and challenge 2 of BBA

Another grueling battle in the kitchen of Jeff versus the Bread Baker’s Apprentice.  In this week’s round I had to go against Artos or one of his many variations.  I chose to fight his evil cousin the Christopsomos which has raisins, walnuts, and dried cherries mixed into it.  According to the book there is some […]

Mexican inspired quinoa

I hope that I am not the only one during the spring and summer who slows down on posting.  To me this time of year is meant to be enjoyed outside not spent inside trying to be creative or screwing around with Photoshop.
I really hit a creative wall today as I sit here sipping coffee […]

Creamy morel mushroom pasta

I found morel mushrooms!!!  To clarify for those who have been following the ongoing saga, Jeff hunts for mushrooms in the woods, no I did not put on my hiking boots and get lost in the woods.  However, on Saturday when it was pouring rain and once again to wet to do garden work I […]

Wild Mushroom Soup

Beer Grilled Bratwurst

You ever have a “what in the $%*@$ was I thinking” moment?  I am going through one right now and it is all thanks to Nicole from Pinch My Salt.  Last week on Twitter she asked if people wanted to join her in her quest to bake all the formulas in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice […]

BBQ Pork St. Louis Style Spareribs

Next to a grill my second preferred cooking vessel has to be the smoker.  There is something magical about a smoker slowly chugging away with wispy streams of smoke coming out of the smokestack and filling up the neighborhood with the wonderful smells of hickory, fruit wood, and slowly cooking meat.  I have also noticed […]

Grilled spicy teriyaki style wings

My buddy Mike over at Mike’s Table did a teriyaki chicken (click here to read the recipe) and I had been dying to do something similar.  Thankfully the opportunity arose in chicken wings.
Most people when they think chicken wings instantly think deep fried.  Not that I am health conscious but deep fried wings have never […]
