Last week I bought a bottom round roast and had no idea what to do with it. Then I decided to go through my cabinets to see what I had lying around. I had some tomato paste and a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Then it hit me. How about making some spicy…
This last weekend my buddy Mark came out to visit Dana and I. Mark was my roommate and co-worker while I was in college. We bartended together at a college bar for 5 years. It was a blast. Mark still bartends and makes a mean bloody mary. His secret is a spice concentrate that together…
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…
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…
Since it is almost summer and extremely hot and humid here in DC, I decided to make a tropical drink. There are a ton of tropical fish bowl drinks out there, but I stumbled across one that fits the bill. It is tasty, it is blue and it is tropical in flavor. All of the…
I picked up some pork chops the other day and decided that grilled pork chops with applesauce sounded like a winner. I had to, it was a Brady Bunch staple. So I picked up McIntosh apples and went on a journey to make homemade applesauce. All of the recipes out there used a ton of…
Last weekend Nick from Macheesmo came over for a great day of grilling. We ate like kings. The first dish of the day was grilled lobster rolls. Every once in a while you will find lobster on sale. Who would have thunk it. However, I got a great deal, two 5oz lobster tails for $5.99. …
This past weekend Nick from Macheesmo came over to grill out. I grilled, he grilled and we ate incredibly well. One of my courses was Salmon with Mango Salsa. Perfectly grilled salmon with a fresh salsa over the top. It does not get any better than that. Plus, this post is my world wide debut…
There is a little pizza restaurant in DC called Matchbox that makes pretty darn good pizzas. Although they are known more for their sliders than their pizza, they make a pretty mean pie. My favorite is the Fire and Smoke pizza. It is a mixture of spicy and smokey ingredients that play together to make…
The other week I was coming back from Pork in the Park when we stopped at a Sonic Drive-in. I love Sonic. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing. I am a huge fan of the cherry limeade. After taking a few sips, you realize that it would be amazing with alcohol. So…
The other day I was strolling through the local Super Market when I came across an amazing loaf of Challah bread. I knew I had to make something with it. So I decided to make my favorite French Toast for dinner. Who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner. Plus, a little brown sugar and Cinnamon to…
So it has been getting warm around here and I have been spending a small fortune on iced coffee. I like the caffeine and since it is hot, why not get it cool and refreshing. To save a little money I wanted to try something a little different. It is called cold brew coffee. Basically…
