Homemade Ricotta Cheese is so simple and requires cheap, kitchen staples. It is cheaper, more flavorful and so much fun to make! You can also add in herbs, spices and seasonings to amp up the flavor. Pesto is a favorite of mine, for sure! ½ gallon Whole Milk 1 cup Heavy Cream ⅓ cup Apple […]

And in this corner we have the Reuben! Another sandwich that I’v been wanting to try for years! Went a bit unconventional and added some pickled red onions for color and because I thought it’d compliment the Sauerkraut. I think the Reuben has a more balanced flavor. The slight sweetness from the Russian Dressing makes […]

This dish is incredible on winter night’s when it’s chilly outside. It’s a hearty, ‘stick to your ribs’ meal that kids and adults […]
Smoked Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Bacon Burgers with homemade French fries and fry sauce. The burgers were stuffed with cheddar and topped with Swiss and the brioche bun was dipped in bacon drippings and broiled until crispy. Oh boy! (And that’s homemade Macaroni Salad in the background). Beef Patty: 2 lbs Angus Beef ½ medium […]
Dreary days call for Strawberry Lemonade (that may or may not have been spiked) and Lemon Almond cookies! I don’t usually bake, but for some reason my soul was craving cookies.

Another one pot meal! Baked Ricotta Chicken Primavera! So many delicious herbs and vegetables. My friend’s rave about this dish and even their kids will eat it.
