  • Recreating Dream Bars #1

    I love Potbelly’s Sandwich Works.  They toast the subs, they are extremely cheap and they have Sheila’s Dream Bars.  I purchase one of these puppies each and every time I enter Potbelly’s.  So the other day I had a thought, why purchase a sub to get a Dream Bar when I could make them at…

    Veal Pasta

    This months issue of Food and Wine has a some great pasta recipes in it.  One that sparked my interest was Orecchiette with Veal Capers and White Wine.  Orecchiette is the pasta that looks like little ears.  Unfortunately no store around me has this type of pasta.  Further, I am not the biggest fan of…

    City Chicken

    When I was growing up my Grandma Donna used to make us City Chicken.  It was always the best meal of the year.  This year we decided to make City Chicken for our Christmas meal.  What is City Chicken you ask?  Well it is a combination of meat on a stick that appears to look…

  • Cheese Bread

    Last year I went to a little diner in New Jersey called Mastoris and discovered this amazing cheese bread. I wanted to recreate it, but unlike a standard cheese danish this had a bread-like texture. So after a little searching online, I found the perfect recipe to recreate it at home.
