The other day I was craving both Mexican and Italian. So I assembled my own version of Lasagna using Mexican ingredients. It was tasty. The tortillas made a perfect substitution for lasagna noodles. They were soft yet crunchy around the edges of the pan. Delicious. A dollop of sour cream and this meal is ready…
This weeks drink of the week is the True Sour. It can be made with almost any spirit, but today I made a nice vodka sour. Usually when made at a bar, vodka sour is made with vodka, sour mix and club soda, or with vodka and squirt. But today I am using a recipe…
A month or so ago my friends got together at Fogo De Chao for a bachelor party. If you have ever been to Fogo De Chao you know that it is meat heaven. 20+ different types of meat delivered to your table on a sword. How cool is that. One of the meats that came…
The perfect addition to turkey is cranberry sauce. I used to go and buy the jellied sauce in the can. I know, but it is tasty and quick. Then I tried to make my own cranberry sauce from scratch. Little did I know that it is almost as quick to make as it is to…
I was invited to a little party yesterday and I wanted to bring an appetizer. I was unsure what to make so I started to look through my cooking magazines. Luckily the December copy of food and wine was delivered. In there they had quick and easy hors d’oeuvres. They had these quick and easy…
This week I have been writing about the upcoming Turkey Day. Monday was Herb Roasted Turkey, Tuesday was whipped red skin potatoes, Wednesday we took a break to honor the troops and today is a twist on classic herb stuffing.

Happy Veterans Day!!! Federal Holiday and nobody seems to be working here in DC. So it is a good thing that it happened to fall on a Wednesday. Yep, Cocktail Wednesday. The other day I went to the store and they had real Root Beer on sale. Not that caramel colored stuff that we know…
I am in full Turkey Day mode. To go with the turkey that I made yesterday, I decided to make some whipped red skin potatoes. Red skin potatoes are my favorite. They are not too starchy and they taste great. Since they have less starch, they whip up nicely. Plus, I like having the skins…
Last week, I received a shipment of turkey related items from Foodbuzz.com and Shadybrook Farms. In the package was a frozen turkey breast. I wanted to roast it to show the ins and outs of roasting a turkey. So I picked up a couple of sides and some fresh herbs. It was a small breast…
Have you ever woke up from an afternoon nap and thought, “I would love a waffle”. I did the other day. I woke up and totally craved a waffle. Unfortunately my old roommate Mark, broke my waffle iron a couple of years back. (Yeah totally called you out on that Mark) So I decided to…
You guys always ask me to make the craziest foods. I am not one to let anyone down. Today I took bacon to a new level. I sandwiched it between a Krispy Kreme doughnut. After creating the monster I was a little scared to eat it. I built up some courage and took a bite. …
Sometimes I get tired and want to take a shortcut. Making meatballs from scratch takes a lot of time and effort. So the other day when I received a shipment of turkey meatballs from my advertisers Shadybrook Farms and Foodbuzz.com I was excited. Shadybrook Farms is known for Turkey. The turkey meatballs that I received…
Last week I missed the drink of the week as I was suffering from the Swine Flu. But, I am back. I also brought with me some cider. I picked up some cider last week to help me get over my flu. Like orange juice, apple cider has over 100% vitamin C per serving. So…
