Blue Cornmeal CornbreadBlue cornmeal imparts a blue-violet cast to the bread, a coarser consistency and a sweeter, nuttier taste than yellow or white cornmeal. It is 20% higher in protein and has a lower glycemic index, good news for those with elevated blood sugar. However it can be difficult to find! Arrowhead and Bob's Red Mill make it and some health… |

Molasses CakeI don’t know why, but I think of Molasses as a fall / winter ingredient. It’s not. But for me, I most commonly use it during the fall or winter. Here we have a Molasses Cake. I tried researching the origins, but came up short. I asked around, and supposedly, back in the day, some wise person who had no sugar for a cake decided to use… |

Bourbon-BBQ SteaksThese steaks are so flavorful they will make you smile. This is a delicious marinade that complements and doesn't overwhelm the flavorful Ribeye, Tbone, or NY steaks that you choose. And the rub/marinade combination makes this a steak you won't forget! |

Italian Beef SandwichesMy husband LOVES Italian Beef. There is a place in Chicago that we love called Portillo's. I have made Italian beef but his cousin adds 1 envelope of Lipton Onion mix and beef broth so I thought I would give her recipe a try. It is AWESOME! There are very few ingredients and you simply toss it in a crock pot. What could be easier?… |

Pan Seared Sirloin Steaks with Sauteed OnionsWe don't eat a lot of steak, and when we do I normally grill it. My mom used to frequently serve pan seared steaks, generally cheaper cuts like sirloin or london broil. So I thought I'd give it a try and see if I could come up with something competitive with my grill. I started with a base recipe from Cook's Illustrated, and… |

Quick and Easy Fresh Cherry PieWith the abundance of summer fruit, I regularly make pies. We are particularly fond of cherry pie and as such I've developed a quick and easy method when I don't have the time for my fully homemade version. If you don't tell your guests they will not realize you didn't spend hours on it. But when time permits, I make it all from… |

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork RoastI was craving cranberries. So I pulled out this recipe I had for a little while and made it for dinner tonight. I rely on a can of cranberry sauce to create the sweet tangy sauce for this tender pork entree. This is nicely seasoned as it simmers by using cranberry and/or orange juice, ground cloves and ground mustard. My… |

Maurice Salad with Homemade DressingMany of you Detroiters may know the salad from years ago, as served at the Hudson’s department store restaurant. (I grew up eating them myself.) The store no longer exists, so I’m not sure if the salad still does. But I must say this recipe comes pretty close to the real deal. The trick is getting the salad dressing just right. But I… |

Marinated AsparagusThis versatile recipe made with fresh asparagus can be made year around. Serve it cold or warm as side with any meal. My favorite way to serve this is grilling it. It produces rave reviews every time. Even from guests who may not be fans of asparagus. |
