Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry with Hoisin Sauce

Like this dish this post is going to be quick and to the point.
Stir frying is one of those things that is simple but easy to screw up if you are not prepared.  The main thing to remember is everything needs to be cut up and in arm’s reach because once you start it turns […]

Steak and Black Bean Stir Fry

The joy of losing power for 4 days is that everything in your refrigerator/freezer has to be replaced.  Thankfully I have two freezers in the garage that I use for meat so the freezer inside the house did not have much.  The items I did not want to lose (stocks and sauces) I was able […]

Chicken with Lemon and Garlic

Hopefully everyone had an awesome holiday and was able to get a lot done.

Back to freezer cleaning we go and this meal was another package of chicken thighs that dear god how did I manage to acquire???

Penne with roasted tomato and sausage

Thank you mr. garden for some awesome tomatoes and mr. bunny for keeping the heck away from everything.  Truth be told I was scared the start of the season because I lost a couple tomato plants early.  However, the ones that did survive really came through and now I am stuck with an overabundance which is […]

Blackened Chicken

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 […]

Americanized Greek Salad

This salad is the evil bastard stepchild of a true Greek salad.  A true Greek salad is simply tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion dressed in extra virgin and oregano. 
The inspiration for this salad comes from a local restaurant ran by this awesome Greek family who on Saturday after leaving the Farmer’s Market we decided to stop by and eat at.  If you […]

Chicken Quarters with lemon and rosemary

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 […]
