Please someone, I need some help. No, not with my mental state, although some people may argue this. And no not with my current corn, jalapeño or ice cream obsessions. No I like those just the way they are and to be honest they are probably just getting going. I am thinking they are not [...]
Also known as the peanutburger. What’s a peanutburger you ask? Well, if you live on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio than you probably already know the answer to this one. But for those of you from any other part of the world, let me tell you. Bearden’s is a diner style restaurant straight out of the 50′s. [...]
Today the pictures say it all. Which is why I have a total of ten. Yes, ten. Remember I have a problem with decisions and I just could not decide which photos to use. Originally there was eighteen, so give me some credit. At least I got rid of eight, but trust me it was hard. [...]
I did something that made me very happy this weekend. I made my first caprese themed recipe of the year. Ok, fine I guess it’s not my first since last August. I did make these awesome Roasted Asparagus Caprese Melts with a Fried Egg, but it’s been a few months and fresh spring produce is finally starting [...]
Today we are talking Jalapeño’s and Cornbread and Cheddar AND Honey. The first time I ever made cornbread I think I was eleven or twelve. We were having a family party, I think for the 4th of July. My parents always had family parties. Out house in Rocky River on the West side of Cleveland, OH [...]
I hope you guys don’t mind. I am on a huge ice cream kick. It’s HUGE. My freezer is overflowing and I am not even done, not even close. My ice cream maker has been churning practically every day this week and my hands are permanently frozen. You’d think it was 90 degrees here, humid and [...]
You guys, I am such a mess. Well technically right now I am very clean, but that is only because I have not started cooking/baking yet. Yesterday before I got in the shower I glanced in the mirror and just kind of laughed at myself. I mean I had food all over my clothes, my [...]
It’s official. I caught the Summer bug. Hard. I know it is only May 15th, but yesterday it felt like Summer! Alright, that is a major exaggeration. The temps only reached the low 60′s, but for around here that is extremely warm! Granted if the sun is shinning it can definitely feel like the 70′s at [...]
Lately I have been up to my eyeballs in avocados. And I am not complaining. Although, I do think I have slight problem. I can thank the grocery store, they fueled the problem,last week they sold avocados for only a dollar! One dollar for avocados is CHEAP for around here. Honestly, in one week I [...]
Well guys it has been a whole month since that last buffalo recipe….. This means I am due to share another. I think all Mondays should have at least a little buffalo sauce. Well buffalo sauce or margarita chicken and guacamole quesadilla’s. Yeah, one or better yet both of these things should happen every Monday. [...]
So let’s talk about Mother’s Day.Actually, let’s talk about my mom and Mother’s Day. My mom, well she absolutely hates mothers day. Yeah, like she really hates it. I am am not sure on the exact reason, but I am pretty sure it is because she was a super young mom. She had my brother [...]
Well, this is just so unlike me.Blueberry muffins on Friday. Wait. What? Yeah, I am not showing you something chocolate, nor anything melty, gooey or loaded with bourbon, tequila or topped with toasted coconut and coconut caramel sauce. Here’s the thing, if you have not noticed I reserve the super over the top recipes for Friday. My logic [...]
You guys, I just don’t get it. Sometimes I try to understand. Really I do, but most of the time my mind just wonders to “Oh, should I make shrimp and put it with noodles or bake cookies and stuff them with something crazy? Or wait, maybe I should make some grilled chicken and smother it [...]
Ok, so there is something you guys should probably know. On days when I do not make a dinner recipe for the blog, my family is eating one of four things buffalo chicken, beef tacos, burgers or steak. More times than not it ends up being steak. Yes, they are meat craving freaks. My dad [...]
I know. That title is a mouth full. But I couldn’t leave anything out. Too many amazing things going on here. It is crazy.
So I realized two things over the weekend. First, I have become a pro at making crepes. The first time I made crepes they turned out highly sub-par and I am pretty sure half of them tore and the other were highly deformed. Highly deformed means large holes. Large holes means the fillings WILL leak [...]
So I am sure you guys have realized this already, but I have posted and insane amount of Mexican recipes over the last couple weeks. Tacos, quesadillas, guacamole, salsa, burritos, burrito bowls, salads, I think I have pretty much covered all the Cinco de Mayo basis. I mean seriously I even made strawberry margarita donuts (Oh [...]
It’s Margarita time……… again! Don’t you remember? I told you Monday that I had margarita plans for you guys today. Like I said, I went a little Margarita crazy. I couldn’t help myself. I bought a whole stink’n bottle of Tequila and for the price of what I paid you better believe I was going to [...]
