Happy Cinco de Mayo! In honor of today I wanted to make a classic mexican dish. At first I wanted to make steak tacos with homemade tortillas. But, it just so happened that everyone around me had the same idea. There wasn’t a single flank steak to be found within 10 miles. So I changed it…
If you have been watching TV lately, Dominos has been advertising their new Bread Bowl Pasta. It is Carbs on Carbs, so basically it is amazing. So I wanted to make my own version to see how great pasta in a bread bowl could actually be. Spoiler Alert – It was amazing. The bread bowl…
Every once in a while you need a quick meal and don’t have any jars of marinara lying around. Or, if you are like me you like to make your own, but don’t have time to let it simmer for 2 hours. I made this quick sauce that took only 15 minutes to make.
The wingtacular is coming up in a couple of weeks and I wanted to give a little help to the competitors. The basis of any good wing sauce is a good hot sauce. Over the counter hot sauces are good, but if you make your own you can control the ingredients and the amount of…

When i was growing up my Dad always used to make homemade sour dough bread. Since he is coming to visit in a couple of weeks I thought I would go down memory lane and make some sour dough starter. It is really simple, but takes a week to get started.
I have been getting a few emails regarding the French Bacon Sandwich that I posted on my about page. It is really tasty. I first heard about the French Bacon Sandwich when I was in college. My old roommate Nate and I were watching the South Park DVDs and the intro for Season 2. The intro…
Nothing says summer more than firing up your smoker, sitting in the sun and drinking some beer. Last sunday it was 65 degrees and sunny so I decided that I wanted to make some pulled pork. I went to the butcher and of course, he was on vacation. So I had to choose from the…

The dish can be an appetizer, entrée, dessert or tasting, but it can only be one course. The ingredients for this foodie fight are Potatoes and…
As you can see I am prepping this week for barbecue. Yesterday was some awesome potato salad. Today we are making cowboy baked beans. I wanted to make beans from scratch. Just a word of warning. Making beans from scratch takes longer than barbecueing a whole hog. The end result, was totally worth it. And…
