A friend of mine had requested for dinner that I make gumbo. Ok I have to admit it has been ages since I have made gumbo which is sad because I love cajun/creole cooking and New Orleans is one of my favorite cities to visit next to good old Las Vegas.
The key to a good gumbo […]
I have been craving sauerkraut lately and normally I will braise a 2 pound Boston Butt in this mixture but faced with a package of chicken thighs that were defrosted I decided why not.
The sauerkraut part of this dish was adapted from one of my favorite cooking books of all times (bonus points to those […]
Try saying this recipe title 3 times fast actually I have decided to keep with Mike’s theme of using a lot of c words in a dish (click here to read the c word ingredient list).
Once again I am back to slackville. The nice thing about Indiana is we have about ohh…2 weeks from when […]
Back to freezer cleaning we go and this meal was another package of chicken thighs that dear god how did I manage to acquire???
We are in full fall swing with 60s and all that good jazz so I decided time to fire up the charcoal grill. One pure joy of the charcoal in the fall […]
Last week marks a sad day for me and probably one of the lowest points of the whole year. Yes I am being overdramatic however, the garden got ripped out which makes me sad. Peppers were overabundant, along with tomatoes, and always the jalapenos and habaneros have me wondering how much hot sauce I can make […]
My first habanero came out of the garden!!!! Tradition for me whenever this happens is to make a jerk marinade. The rest of the habaneros I hope speed up because they have a date to be turned into hot sauce. I am also in overabundance of tomatoes. I don’t know why I decide every year to […]
Well I have been a slacker in the update department however; I have not been cooking but was on a joyous business trip. I landed on Tuesday but by the time you get home, do laundry, and play catch up you have easily lost a couple more days.
Rubs to me the perfect thing to place […]
First off before I start rambling I have been seeing a lot of bloggers out there posting pictures of their gardens and I felt left out. If you don’t know I love to garden in fact it is one of those things I look towards every year spring. This year I had in my front […]
This dish is what happens when you walk into your herb garden and see an over abundance. Instead of trimming back the herb plants and throwing the trimmings into the compost bin I just decided to start throwing it together into a marinade.
For this marinade you will need:
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup of white wine
1 […]
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 […]
