Mexican inspired quinoa

I hope that I am not the only one during the spring and summer who slows down on posting.  To me this time of year is meant to be enjoyed outside not spent inside trying to be creative or screwing around with Photoshop.
I really hit a creative wall today as I sit here sipping coffee […]

Creamy morel mushroom pasta

I found morel mushrooms!!!  To clarify for those who have been following the ongoing saga, Jeff hunts for mushrooms in the woods, no I did not put on my hiking boots and get lost in the woods.  However, on Saturday when it was pouring rain and once again to wet to do garden work I […]

Wild Mushroom Soup

I am sure that when people think vegetarian cooking my blog is one of the last that comes to mind.  For all the meat centric dishes that are displayed on this blog there is a lot of vegetarian dishes that play second fiddle but never get any credit.  This needs to change because I have […]

Pineapple marinated chicken with a shocking twist

I am no longer a bread virgin and I would like to thank Nicole from Pinch My Salt for this glorious occasion.  Wait…that does not sound right so hmm…let me explain.  A couple weeks ago Nicole tweeted about wanting to bake all the formulas in Bread Baker’s Apprentice and wanted equally insane individuals to help […]

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 […]

Grilled spicy teriyaki style wings

My buddy Mike over at Mike’s Table did a teriyaki chicken (click here to read the recipe) and I had been dying to do something similar.  Thankfully the opportunity arose in chicken wings.
Most people when they think chicken wings instantly think deep fried.  Not that I am health conscious but deep fried wings have never […]

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 […]

Spatchcock herb butter chicken now with 100% more brick

I was happy when I got out of work and the sun was shining.  Only thing I could think of was getting home and firing up the charcoal grill for grilled chicken.  However, my dreams were soon crushed when I got home and the sun decided time to go away.  Instead of the sun I […]

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 […]
