I have been looking for new and tasty recipes for chicken. After looking through my collection of cookbooks, I rediscovered chicken cordon bleu. Â The recipe sounded perfect, but I didn’t want a breaded chicken breast. Â So I thought about it and determined that I could make a similar dish on the grill. Â I removed the…
The other day I was cleaning the garage and found a deep fryer that Dana and I received as a wedding present. It was perfect timing, as the Big game is approaching and I received a question on how to make homemade boneless buffalo wings. I have made wings in the past, but never boneless…
I love kabobs, but I always seem to pick the wrong cut of meat to make them. Â Either the steak is too tough or is cooks too fast. Â However, I have figured it out. Â I used top sirloin last night and the kabobs came out perfectly. Â By the time that the veggies were cooked, the…
I have always wanted to enter into a chili competition but never had the time. So I decided I would make a nice competition chili at home to see what the differences are between it and normal chili. For one, Competition chili does not have beans. It can not have any fillers such as noodles…
Ever since I was a kid, the holidays meant it was time for hors d’ouerves / appetizers.  Since everyone is coming and going, my Mom would always have a table full of them.  For this reason, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting ideas.  I stumbled upon a single picture that excited my taste buds.  It…
As a Midwesterner, I love meat and potatoes. The combination is amazing! However, sometimes it gets hard to spice up the combo. I discovered that the Swedes have been spicing up their potatoes for years. They fan out the potato and bake it making a mixture between a baked potato and a thick cut chip….
I like to consider myself a grill master. I love to cook everything on the grill. However, I was browsing through the website yesterday and I determined I was seriously short on grilled side dishes. There are a ton of sides that go great with grilled foods, but not so many sides that are prepared…
Chicken is a great meat for grilling. Chicken is a blank canvas just waiting for you to add a few ingredients to make it pop. This recipe is one of those simple yet extraordinary dishes. It takes 10 minutes to prep, 1-4 hours to marinate and 16-25 minutes to grill. Then there is the flavor….
I know it is hard to believe but sometimes I get cook’s block. It is like writer’s block except I can not think of a single thing to make for dinner. So earlier this week Dana requested something from chicken and something from ground beef. I went to the store and picked up the basic…
It is officially football season! There is no better football snack than Hot Wings.  I have been on a little hot wing kick lately.  I have been eating them at least once a week. Although your average hot wings are delicious, they are not the healthiest thing around.  So, I decided to put away the…
I purchased a ton of Kingsford Charcoal as fuel for cooking during the Hurricane. I ended up not needing it all, so I decided to start grilling more with the charcoal grill. Although it may take a tad bit longer to set up, using a charcoal grill gives you a ton of flavor. It is…
The other day I found a whole chicken at the store for $2. So I roasted it, had a semi-thanksgiving in August and then had leftovers. What are the best leftovers with chicken? I will tell you, it is chicken salad sandwiches. I love them. I was also introduced to the greatest sandwich spread ever….
This weekend my Mom was in town to help Dana and I get settled into our new home. My mom loves mushrooms, so I wanted to make a nice mushroom Swiss burger. Last year I made a Mushroom Swiss Burger. It was good, but I wanted to recreate it using my newly formed burger patty….
