I am always looking for a new way to spice up a salad. So when I came across this recipe, I knew I had a winner. Grilled tomatoes and bread served over a nice green salad. The smokiness of grilled tomatoes and bread add a unique flavor to this salad.
There is nothing more fitting on this Holiday of Holiday’s than a shot of Jameson. So lets have a little history lesson. St. Patrick is commonly known as the patron saint of Ireland. Starting out as a Christian holiday this day of feast has become a more secular holiday celebrating Ireland as a whole. Shamrocks…
With the greatest holiday in the world approaching, Dana and I decided to make homemade Irishfetti cupcakes. These are similar to those oh-so-fun-fetti cupcakes that you buy in the store, but they are homemade and loaded with shamrock sprinkles. Yep, a nice white cake full of white and green shamrock sprinkles. Granted this recipe works…
I am sorry that I was unable to post this weekend. I was in New York watching the Big East Tournament. The weather was horrible, but the games were amazing. Marquette made it to the semi-finals and the final game between Georgetown and West Virginia went all the way to the wire. It was a…
Since next week is the greatest holiday of the year, I decided to compile a list of the Irish Pubs in DC. There are a ton of pubs in the area and you want to be able to have the best holiday possible. So I have broken down Northern Virginia and DC and have come…
Last weekend my Mom made me Strawberry Jam. I figured the strawberries would be alright, but not too ripe. I mean, they are not even close to being in season. To my surprise the strawberries were plump, beautiful and full of flavor. Got to love modern chemistry. So I picked up some more and decided…
St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. I used to work in an Irish Pub in Milwaukee and at about this time every year, we started to sell thousands of Irish Car Bombs. It is a mixture of Irish Stout beer, Irish whiskey and Irish cream. Together it makes a great creamy drop shot. Yep, this…
Last week I made a pot roast and it needed a few sides. So I searched the internet to find a couple of sides to serve along with the roast. One was the Roasted Cauliflower that I posted about last week. Today I am posting about some exquisitely creamy, garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes. So tasty…
Sorry I was absent this past weekend. My family came in to town to surprise me on my Birthday. It was a ton of fun. My Mom even restocked my freezer with Strawberry Jam. I know what you are thinking, Strawberries are not in season. Well thanks to the global marketplace, Strawberries are always in…
It is going to be a beautiful weekend in DC. The sun is shining and temps are gonna reach the mid-50s. It is the perfect weekend to view the monuments and be a sightseer. This weekend is the start of the most glorious time of the year. St. Patrick’s Day!! Old town is starting off…
The other week I was looking through my recipes and I found a recipe for roasted broccoli. Sounded good, but I had cauliflower in the fridge. The recipe was simple and tasty so I substituted the cauliflower for the broccoli and added a bit of paprika to add color and a little smokiness. This created…
The other day I went to the greatest grocery store around, Wegmans. They opened one about 20 miles south of me in Woodbridge, VA. If you have never been to one you have to go. This is the only grocery store that I have ever been to that stocks black truffles. Don’t believe me,…
The other day I needed to pick up some supplies for my house guests so I stopped by Marshall’s. While roaming through the aisles I found a white box. A large white box. It had a couple red clearance price tags on it. Each one going lower and lower all the way to $29. So…
