Do not check the URL yes you are still at the same artery clogging, braise filled, pork hugging, vegetarian bashing blog. However, now that the garden is starting to spit out some decent produce time to start incorporating it into dishes.
The joy of a salad is it can be whatever in the heck you want to […]
This is my first attempt at Taste and Create (http://forfood.rezimo.com/) which for those who don’t know each month you are given another blog and choose something from the blog and create it. I have to say this is an amazing and fun concept and definitely something I am looking forward to next month.
The blog I drew […]
This dish is kind of my big f you to the crappy producers out there who have to scare us with salmonella in tomatoes. Weird to go into a grocery store and see where tomatoes use to be just an empty area with a sign informing us because we want the cheapest tomatoes we could […]
I have been a grilling fool the last couple of weeks. Normally I am a huge fan of the gas grill during the week but lately my trusty Weber charcoal has been getting a workout.
After doing the herb butter smoked chicken my next goal was to do a beer butt chicken. For those who don’t […]

I feel like a bad used car commercial when I say I was overstocked and needed to get rid of some. […]
First off thank you Chicago for lifting the foie gras ban (click here to read the article).
Dry rubs are one of my favorite summer ways to do meat and vegetables. It is amazing the flavor you can get from the rub and still manage to be lazy.
This rub works awesome with pork or chicken. I also […]
I love BBQ to me there is nothing peaceful than staring at a smoker chugging away undisturbed while magical and beautiful things happen under the hood. The entire neighborhood is full of the magical aroma of flavorful wood burning away.
This recipe was one I used a couple years ago in BBQ competitions and actually is still very highly requested when […]
I feel guilty that balsamic vinegar is underutilized in my kitchen. Most of the time balsamic vinegar shows up is just in a simple salad dressing made of shallots, balsamic vinegar, and oil. This needs to change especially when I see such amazing and creative dishes using balsamic vinegar in everything from appetizers to desserts.
For […]
This dish is not called parmesan because it contains Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in fact it gets its name from Parma, the region of Italy where it originated from. However, I love to add some Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to the breadcrumb mixture because how can you go wrong with adding more cheese to a dish? The cheese in […]
