I love vanilla ice cream. So one of the first things I did when getting my ice cream machine was to make vanilla ice cream. I used extract and it was not the best. So bad, that I never posted about it. However a couple of weeks ago I got my hands on some Madagascar vanilla…
Last week I tackled homemade hamburger buns. They ended up coming out great! The only problem was that I made a ton of them. I am talking 2 dozen plus. So I had to make a ton of sandwiches. I love sandwiches so this was gonna be fun. Last week I also picked up a…
After a long week of celebrating I think everyone deserves a shot. I was lacking mixers but ended up finding out that vodka and apple juice are awesome together. The addition of some whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon and you have an amazing apple pie shot. The whipped cream makes this shot. Apple…
The other day it was late and I wanted to grill something. It happens, maybe not to all, but it happens to me all of the time. So I went in the fridge and all I had was chicken. I don’t mean to sound sad, but I was in the mood to grill something crazy….
I love bratwurst, but sometimes I don’t have a hot dog bun lying around when I want to enjoy it. So I figured out a way to make bratwurst into patties. I know what you are thinking, but you can’t just use a standard bratwurst recipe as it will dry out and fall apart. With…
A couple weeks back I sent Dana to the liquor store to pick up some coconut rum for the pina coladas. When she came back she also had a bottle of firefly sweet tea vodka. This stuff is awesome! You could totally drink it straight up without a mixer. But when mixed with lemonade it…
I wanted to recreate the soft billowy store bought hamburger buns at home. I tried a few recipes and the only one that came close was the one from King Arthur Flour. The buns came out perfectly brown and had an amazing texture. The only thing that was disappointing was that the buns were a little hard…
The other day I wanted something quick to eat. Nothing screams fast, like stir-fry. So I decided to go and see what looked good at the market. I found some broccoli and bell peppers. Plus, Dana loves water chestnuts so I added a can of those. To be honest, they are my favorite part too….
Do you like Pina Coladas, well then this post is for you. This coconut/pineapple inspired drink is awesome! It is one of those drinks that can go amazingly awesome or horribly wrong and taste like suntan lotion. I experimented with a few recipes and came to one conclusion; use coconut cream and not coconut milk….
The other day I wanted something sweet. So I poured through my cupboards and refrigerator and all I found were the components to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. On a good day this would be awesome, but I wanted the cookies right away. Needless to say, I had to wait. 🙁 But as you can…
So I have been trying to perfect ribs for a while. I am always on the lookout for new techniques or tools to make the perfect competition rib. Well I went back to basics and scored with an amazing rib. The key was a nice rub and a finely tuned barbecue smoker. The final ribs…
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Linda a valued reader, requesting a good key lime pie recipe. I have never made a key lime pie before, but I was all over the challenge. So last weekend I made a bunch of key lime pies. Some were good, some were bad, and…
I was looking for a refreshing burger for this past weekend. Â After a little searching I found the perfect burger. Â It is a green chile burger with guacamole mayo. Â It was perfect. Â It was a tad bit spicy with the perfect refreshing guacamole mayo on top to cool the heat. Served on a sesame seed…
