I have a confession I hate writing about classic Italian dishes. I love to make them but making an entry about them seems to draw out every Internet troll to tell you how far off base you are. For some reason there is not a cuisine on the face of this planet that will be […]
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 […]
So my goal when making this dish was I wanted something light and easy for dinner. 1 stick of butter later I was thinking before bed I need to lace up running shoes, grab the MP3 player, and run a couple miles.
This dish is also moving close to that dreaded vegetarian line that I have […]
I really wanted to call this dish: Jeff decided to clean out his refrigerator and luckily just happened to have a defrosted pork loin. Although some of my best and worst meals have been results of a fridge cleaning.
For this recipe you will need:
1 pork loin
1 bunch of spinach blanched (place the spinach in boiling water for a minute, […]
Part of the joy of buying whole and half pigs is you are left with all this bulk ground up sausage. I like to get the sausage unseasoned and then add my own spices for different flavors.

I promise all you fellow readers who are dying to see my keel over from heart failure this is not the start of a trend.
The major key to this dish is the tuna so buy good tuna from a fishmonger you can trust. Sushi grade only covers the way the fish was handled and to […]
Arroz con pollo is Spanish for rice with chicken. It is chicken browned and then simmered in a tomato sauce with whatever vegetables you choose to make it with. There are thousands of different variations so add flavors that you really enjoy. Besides being flavorful it is also a very simple one pot meal that takes little […]
Ok I have to admit I was a tad bit skeptical when I stole this dish from Jamie Oliver’s book “Cook With Jamie“. This book is definitely worth picking up and has a lot of great advice and more importantly amazing recipes.
The recipe calls for white fish and the only white fish I could find at the store […]
Ok so today I got a great laugh from Bourdain’s blog about the Food Network reairing A Cook’s Tour and the latest episode of No Reservations (the Dunkin Doughnuts crack had me on the floor). This was definitely well needed especially since this week has been brutal. Well not really brutal just stressful work but hopefully […]
