It really hit the spot and I will definitely be making it again! Steaks: 2 -1″ thick Sirloin Steaks 4 Tablespoons Butter;Continue […]

This is a stellar appetizer for game day, holidays or get togethers. It’s savory, creamy and packed full of flavor! The cream cheese really adds to the texture and richness, but if you’re not a fan, goat cheese makes an amazing substitution. You can also add different minced vegetables with great results. My personal favoritesContinue […]

I made Caesar dressing for the first time and I’m never buying the bottled stuff ever again. It took a minute to make and it was so much fresher! After yesterday’s insanely rich Cajun Shrimp Pasta, I really needed something a bit lighter. This really hit the spot and it’s portable, so I can justContinue […]

This Spicy Thai Peanut Fried Rice from the other night was amazing! It went really well with the Beef & Broccoli as well as the Shrimp Spring Rolls!

I had a small luncheon with some friends today and decided to make these super easy and delicious Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers to go with the Pesto Turkey Sub. I normally smoke them but I’m out of wood pellets. Darn! 6 large Jalapeños; halves and cored 1 package Cream Cheese 1 cup Cheddar Cheese 1Continue […]

I love Chipotle’s Chicken Burrito Bowls, but I’m not a fan of paying almost $10 for it when I can make it much cheaper and add more toppings. I also made a batch of my Cantina Style Salsa to go with it. Chicken: 3 large Chicken Thighs 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 1 teaspoon Ancho ChileContinue […]

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 makesContinue […]
