Last week I got a couple dozen potatoes my from CSA. I love potatoes and farm fresh ones are absolutely the best. Since I had so many fresh potatoes lying around, I wanted to make some nice hashbrowns for breakfast. Hashbrowns are hard to make as fresh potatoes have so much starch in them that…
My CSA comes with unlimited basil each week. Therefore, I have been making a ton of pesto. I love the fresh taste of pesto. After a few tries, I found that the best pasta for pesto is Cellantani. It is a spiral macaroni pasta with rigati grooves in the outside. The spiral along with the…
Last week I bought a bottom round roast and had no idea what to do with it. Then I decided to go through my cabinets to see what I had lying around. I had some tomato paste and a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Then it hit me. How about making some spicy…

The other night Dana wanted some steak. So I went to the store and discovered top sirloin steaks were on sale. They are a rather inexpensive steak, but they grill up beautifully. The sirloin is a cut from the rear of the animal. There is a bottom sirloin steak and a top sirloin. The top…
Without owning a hamburger bun pan, I have been unable to make perfectly round hamburger buns. The other day I accidentally figured out how to make perfect buns. Not only did they have perfectly round bottoms but they have perfect tops too. The process will work with almost any bread dough, but it worked great…
I am a huge fan of grilling. The only problem is that most sides are not grilled. This salad solves that problem. The corn is fire roasted on the grill so you can make it right along with your steak or barbecue dishes. In addition the grilled corn adds a bit of smokiness to the…
I just went and got the gas in the grill refilled and I was ready to grill out. I just didn’t know what to grill. I asked Dana and within a second she said skirt steak with chimichurri sauce. It took little to no effort on her part to come up with this. I had…
Last week was Dana’s Birthday and I wanted to make her favorite meal. Lasagna! So I looked around and found completely flat sheets of Lasagna noodles by Barilla. They fit almost perfectly into my individual oven safe bowls and they also do not require pre-boiling. For that reason I decided to make individual lasagnas. This…
Sorry that cocktail day is one day late. It was Dana’s Birthday yesterday and we had to celebrate in style. However, today I am making a traditional cocktail. It is on the same lines with a screwdriver, but with a little twist. A little OJ, a little vodka, some amaretto and a touch of seltzer. …
So today is Dana’s Birthday! Happy Birthday Dana! I wanted to make her a super chocolaty cake, so I made a moist chocolate cake, layered with a fluffy chocolate filling and a chocolate butter cream frosting. It is rather intense with the amount of chocolate. As you can see from the pics, I need a…
So as many of you know, I am getting married in the near future. I would like to lose a few pounds before the wedding day. I am having a heck of a time thinking up ideas for lower calorie food. Heck, I usually eat pizza, pasta, bread, desserts, more desserts and even more desserts. …
DC is really close to the Chesapeake Bay. So in turn it means that we have a lot of fresh crabs and a lot of fresh crab meat around here. The other day I went to the store and they had backfin blue crab on sale for $9.99 a pound. Basically a steal no matter where you…
