Now that summer is in full swing everyone has their barbecues ready to go. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and steaks are easy, but what do you serve on the side? Grilled potatoes are the answer. When I was in college I had a roommate named West that showed me this simple and fantastic dish. Using…

Every time I cook chicken I always have left overs. Maybe it is because I live by myself or it is the fact that nobody can (let me rephrase that) should eat a 5lb chicken. Earlier this week I made beer can chicken. Probably the best way to roast a chicken. Even with having friends…
Every wednesday I review a cookbook to help weed out the good the bad and the ugly. This week I am reviewing, The Joy of Jams, Jellies and Other Sweet Preserves. I reviewed the Joy of Pickling a couple of weeks ago, and I must say that Linda Ziedrich is the Queen of preserving food….
Over the weekend I attended the Food and Wine Festival at the National Harbor. While I was there I met a few guys from Pork Barrel BBQ. We chatted for a bit about barbecuing and about their business. I love BBQ and I am always looking for a short cut. They make BBQ rubs and…

I love a good brownie. A good brownie is moist and chewy. I hate cake brownies with frosting. If I wanted to eat cake, I would have gotten a piece of cake, not a brownie. So I have been working on my ultimate brownie recipe. There are two basic recipes for brownies. One using melted…

Yesterday I reviewed “I’m just here for MORE FOOD” and there was a recipe for Cheesy Poofs. Yes, those cheesy staples of Eric Cartman from South Park. So I had to try them.  They are amazing. Not quite the cheddar ones that have the cheetah on them, but they are tasty none the less.  This is the…
Every wednesday I review a cookbook to help weed out the good the bad and the ugly. This week I am reviewing I’m Just Here For MORE FOOD by Alton Brown. As an engineer and a certified nerd, I love Alton Brown. His show is designed around humor and the basics, that make food what it is….
I am always needing a side dish, and my favorite go to side dish is brussel sprouts with bacon. Well you can always change the first part, but you have to have the bacon. I love this dish.
In the last two weeks I have been getting a lot of emails regarding my rib recipe. The number one question is, “How do I do this in my apartment”. To get the real deal, there really isn’t a shortcut. However, I do have a great rib recipe for making ribs in the oven. Yes,…
