Something I’ve been wanting to make for years now: the Cubano or Cuban Midnight Sandwich! I don’t know why I waited so long! It was delicious on its own or dipped in last night’s Potato and Bacon Ends Chowder. Try as I might, I couldn’t find a grill press or cuban rolls so I had […]
This is such a quick, inexpensive and easy breakfast! Sausage, Egg and Cheese Muffins. It’s so simple and so delicious!

My baby brother wanted shrimp and I wanted pasta. I’ve seen Cajun Shrimp Pasta before and figured you can’t go wrong with cajun spices, smoked shrimp, pasta and a cream sauce. So, here’s my take. Naturally it has bacon and smoked paprika. Pasta: 16 oz. Fettuccine Pasta 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil — Shrimp: 2 lbsContinue […]

I love breakfast for dinner. Eggs, sausage and croissants are amazing at all hours of the day or night. It was a major hit for everyone!
