The weather here in DC has been all over the place. We have had snow one day and a sunny 65 degree day the next. Who knows what it is going to look like tomorrow. When it is nice, I like to take advantage of it, you never know when it is gonna snow. It…
Do I love cocktail Wednesday or what. It has been warm and cold here in DC. Some days it is 30 and others it is 60. The other night it was 60 and I wanted to grill. Nothing goes with warm weather like cocktails and grilling. Today I am trying out a refreshing cocktail…
Today is the second and final day of what to do with a store bought rotisserie chicken. Basically last week I was shopping and they had whole roasted chickens for $5. It was such a good price I could not pass it up. Yesterday I used half of the chicken to make bbq chicken quesadillas. …
Last week I went to the local Safeway and they had an amazing deal on rotisserie chickens. Only $5. So I decided to purchase one and make a couple of recipes. Using the roasted chicken you can quickly make a couple of meals. There is plenty of meat on the bird and the bones can…

The other day I wanted something sweet and I could not figure out exactly what to make. Then I was doing a little searching on the internet and came across a red velvet cake. My mom used to make red velvet cake, but I totally forgot about it. Reminiscing I decided to make one. As…

So I love the Dream Bars from PotBelly’s. I have been working hard to recreate them. In order to get everything right, I went to PotBelly’s and purchased a bunch of dream bars. Come to find out, I wasn’t too far off, but I wasn’t right either. When I tasted the Dream Bars, I noticed…

Every once in a while I have a recipe that just does not work. When this happens, I label it an epic failure. Today it wasn’t the recipe but the ingredients that ruined my meal. I was coming up with a nice Roasted Garlic Aioli for a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich that I making…
