One of my loyal readers is Joaquin “Jack” Garcia, the man behind the book The Making of Jack Falcone. Â We have been interacting through Facebook, mostly about bacon, and a few other food related topics. Â He sent me a signed copy of his book. Â After reading it, I decided to name a glorious pizza after…
I love pizza. However, I have never been able to recreate pizzeria style pizzas. Then I stumbled upon High Gluten Flour. I know what you are thinking, Rex is bucking the trend of gluten free. It is true, gluten can be your friend. Especially when you are making pizza dough. I am not talking about…
This week is the busiest week of the year for most grills and barbecues. Happy July 4th to everyone! Get out there and make some hamburgers and hot dogs. If you are feeling adventurous try a few of the following. I have prepared a list of some of my favorite summer dishes.
Dana has been wanting to make mushrooms ever since we made the mushroom sauce for the steaks a couple of weeks ago. She said that her Mom used to make mushrooms as a side dish all of the time. She said that she would always fight her brother for them. So she called her Mom…
While in the Midwest visiting family, Dana and I were introduced to beer bread. The bread comes in a mix and all you have to do is add beer. It was great, but the mix costs an arm and a leg. Highway robbery if you ask me. So I decided to try to make my…

Â In honor of Memorial Day I wanted to create a simple and delicious burger. Â Something that anyone can make. Â To do this I created a burger with a slice of onion…
Dana and I love grilled steaks. However, after a few steak dinners, it can get a little old. The best way to spice up a steak dinner is to add a sauce to the steak. There is nothing that compliments a great steak better than a nice mushroom sauce. I came up with sauce…
With a toddler running around the house Dana and I have limited time to cook. We love lasagna, but having to haul out the giant stock pot to boil the noodles is a pain. Besides the extra dishes, the extra time needed to boil the noodles adds precious time to our already chaotic day. So…
Over the off season, I decided to upgrade from the Lang 84 to a more consistent smoker. The Lang was great, but it was a lot of work to keep the temperatures steady. I did a bunch of research and finally settled on a gravity feed smoker. Basically you fill up the charcoal chamber and…
So the other day I was testing out banana bread recipes and every single one came out burnt on the outside and raw in the middle. I figured I had the wrong pan or used the wrong temperature. Then I Googled my problem and came up with a possible error. My oven could be off….
Dana and I really love the sweet potato casserole from Ruth’s Chris. So we scoured around to find a recipe that was similar. We settled on a recipe, but it was way too sweet. It was actually Tooth-aching sweet! The sweet potatoes multiplied by the candied pecan top, was similar to the taste of the…
Dana and I are getting ready for Easter and we wanted to dye some eggs. Then we discovered that it was going to take a huge pan to hard boil all of the eggs that we wanted to dye. So we looked for an alternative. It just so happens that this alternative is the easiest…
