  • I Work With Evil Evil People

    I had a goal to be at 220 by the end of the month.  This was a goal that I made in January, but with living at work I have not eaten right.  I have eaten well, but not right.  Somehow, I manged to maintain my fatness at a constant level, I don’t know how.  […]

  • Kelsey’s Lemon Curd

    We went to the Home and Garden show for the sole purpose of seeing Kelsey Nixon.  She was our family favourite when she was on the Food network.  Anyway, we sat in the front row as she went through two different recipe sets.  The first was veggie chowder which Chey ATE and LIKED.  I asked […]

  • Meat and Potatoes

    Well I went to Sams-Club today to pay off Christmas.  There was a line, which I am now convinced that it was staged, so I decided to wander around to get free food.  Don’t judge me!  As I was pacing the monument of American excess I found… fingerling potatoes, with different colours.  The wannabe chef […]

  • My Best Turkey Ever

    I’m Thankful for Alton Brown.  His Good Eats Roasted Turkey changed my life or at least for one day a year it did.  I have been playing with my brine for years now and this year I hit paydirt. 1 gallon water (divided as needed) 8 Pounds of ice (roughly 1 gallon) 1 1/4 kosher […]

  • Spinach Artichoke Dip

  • Buffalo Chicken Wing Burger

    I LOVE hot wings, I mean I really love hot wings. I, also, love burgers. I figured two great tastes that should go great together. 1 lb ground turkey 1 medium onion diced 1 cup hot wing sauce (I like Frank’s with some habanero mixed in) Buns and blue cheese crumbles (yes blue cheese again. […]

  • Shredded Chicken Tacos

    I am only going to discuss the making the shredded chicken. If you can’t figure out how to make a taco why are you even reading this? 5 lbs chicken breast 2 packages of El Paso Taco seasoning (some will call this cheating, I am one of them but there is a time and a […]

  • Dutch Oven Stand-by

    This is a really simple quick Dutch Oven recipe. If you are running out of time (like I was for Dinner) this is the go to. 5 lb of meat. chicken, pork, veal, salmon, beef it does not matter. It turns out best if it is in 1 to 2 inch chunks let time be […]

  • Bacon Blue Cheese Dutch Oven Potatoes

    I love to take “classic” recipes and add a odd little twist to it. Everyone who has a Dutch Oven has a Potato recipe that calls for bacon, potatoes, and cheese. So here goes my twist. 1/2 pound bacon (render this until crispy there is nothing worse than soggy bacon) 3 lbs potatoes cubed (or […]
