Asian BBQ Beef Kabobs
The other day I walked into the supermarket and discovered 1.99 a pound thin cut New York strip steaks. Although a little thin for grilling as steaks, they were perfect for making kabobs. So I started some rice in the rice cooker and then went to creating a Asian BBQ sauce. Asian BBQ Beef Kabobs…

Super Easy Waffles
Waffles are one of my favorite breakfast treats. However, basic Belgium waffles take a little bit of time to make. You need to separate the eggs, whip the egg whites and fold them in. Early in the morning, the last thing that I want to do is all of that. I want a simple recipe…

The other day Dana was craving Beef Stew. It was cold outside and I thought it was a great idea. So I went to the store found a great deal on some chuck steak and went for it. Watch out when you go to the store. If they have pre-cut stew meat, ask the butcher….

I received my Christmas present a tad bit early from my soon to be in-laws. They got me the KitchenAid pasta roller and cutter attachments. Basically the perfect gift for a food blogger. I have been wanting to make pasta from the minute that I unwrapped the present. Luckily within a few minutes I was…
Peanut Brittle
It is that time of the year. Time for all of the Holiday cookies and candy. I decided that I should use the excess amount of peanuts that I have in a recipe. I thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that peanut brittle would be the best. This was my…
