Kebabs have always been a fun way to cook your whole meal in one shot. It involves simply the time to chop the food, marinate, skewer and grill. It wasn’t until I did a little digging that I found out just how old this tradition is and that almost every culture in the world has…

Banana Bread
As I’ve mentioned before, I do not like wasting…especially not food. Maybe it’s how I was raised or that it just seems like a bad way to manage money when you throw food away. Combine that personality trait with the banana’s going bad in my kitchen and you get Banana Bread. Unlike others, I do…
Shallot Herb Butter Roll
I know that I said this week was going to be dedicated to grilling and all that fun, and although, this isn’t anything that is directly grilled, this is something that will instantly enhance any grilled meat to an almost professional level. And, it’s super simple! It’s a Shallot Herb Butter Roll…. First, pour about…
Grilled Vietnemese Shrimp Pops with Peanut Sauce
I finally have made it out to grill and taken photos to post. Now, I admit, I have grilled quite a few times this year already, but it’s been a lot of the standard – burgers, brats, hot dogs, veggie packs with potatoes, onions, bell peppers…the usual. Here is something new and fun. It is…
Rosemary Lemon Martini

Rosemary Lemon Martini’s Whether entering guests and enjoying your evening to yourself, a nice flavorful martini can put the class back into your evening and the swagger back in your step. Although you may not be James Bond, you can make this…

It is really delicious with the creamy fresh mozzarella, herbs and spices infused in the oils and the crunch at the bottom of the…
Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Current Objective: No More Wasting – Start using all the food in my pantry and fridge and be creative at the same time! I have started accumulating random foods over the last year…using some for various experiments and some because of sales at the grocery store. And I don’t know if it’s because the sun…
Spiced Apple Scones
It’s Memorial Day Weekend and no surprise, it is currently raining. Raining makes me think of 5-10 years ago, where rainy days only equaled a friendly book and yummy snack; not the cleaning the kitchen, getting the laundry done, making sure bills are paid rainy days of adulthood. Although the forecast calls for more rain…
Baked Potato Soup
If you are looking for a hearty soup….look no further. Baked Potato Soup is thick enough, it can almost be eaten with a fork and has just the right amount of kick from the pepper bacon that will leave you wanting more. I once heard Denis Leary joke about Irish Cuisine consisting of putting everything…
Mexican Shredded Chicken Taco Rolls
First, I would like to apologize for the name. That part of this recipe is under construction and it begins because I created something new….Mexican Shredded Chicken. Now, I’m not naive enough to think no-one else has ever put together this combo before, but one summer Sunday after work, I got a bunch of stuff…
