Irish Eggrolls or Romanian Sarmale

When I think back of my grandma this dish is the first thing that pops into my head because my brother and I always begged for it.  Heck to this day we still beg mom to make it and I know more than once we have threatened not to show up at key holidays unless […]

Grilled spinach stuffed pork chops

 Guess who is back errrr….guess who has been so lazy to post but now has a massive backlog of blog posts?
I do have a legitimate excuse this time because I have been on business travel in Colorado Springs.  We spent a lot of time working but did manage to get out the one day to […]

Roasted tomato sausage penne

If you would have told me a month ago I would be getting fresh tomatoes I probably would have laughed at you because this has been a horrible tomato year for me.  It started with 11 tomato plants (10 of them in raised beds and 1 little guy in a container on my back patio).  […]

Buffalo Style Meatballs

Have you ever read a book that made you laugh because the main character reminds you of yourself?  A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I was reading $64 Tomato that was recommend by Heather at http://www.bodaciousgirlblog.com/
The premise of the book is one man’s obsession to raise his own vegetables and a hilarious recount of […]

Pork chops with wild raspberry port sauce

I am starting to learn one awesome thing about having a blog is people want to send you cool stuff.  I am normally not one for taking products just because I have to write about the product and if I think it sucks well I do not want to write that.  The idea of being […]

Beer, Brats, and Bagels

All this bloody baking is going to cause me to spiral quickly into a drunken haze of insanity.  The plan was a simple one in that before bedtime on Friday night I would have perfectly shaped bagels resting in the fridge overnight.  This would allow me to wake up on Saturday morning, boil some water, […]

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 […]

Mojo Pork Chops

Before I start this post I must say a quick prayer to the coffee gods.  I am running on lack of sleep and my level of insanity is not all there.  This post could have the world’s worst introduction so bear with me.  I will try to bring it together near the end or at […]

Pomegranate pulled pork

I love free stuff and pomegranate juice (the 100% pomegranate juice not the ohh there is a couple of drops of pomegranate juice but the rest is just fillers and artificial crap “juice”).  It was a natural reaction that when I arrived home to see a case of pomegranate juice on my front porch to […]
