Mixing it Up - Bittman Style!Mixing it Up - Bittman Style!Even as much as I adore grilling in the summer, I still manage to get in a rut for ideas on what to make. I mean, really, how many different ways can you grill a chicken breast, right? I do love the larger cuts like brisket and ribs, and so forth, but those time-consuming items are reserved for Sundays… |

Oreo TrufflesEvery once in awhile, the hubs actually comes home with a request for a specific food item. Since it is so rare to get this kind of input, I always do my best to make it happen. In this case, he was working a job in Granite City and he got to know one of the plant personnel pretty well. She is very interested in cooking and all things… |

Lime Blueberry TiramisuSometimes people surprise me.I have always enjoyed Paula Deen. Reading her books, watching her shows, even meeting her in person at a book signing. But I have to admit, I don’t make a lot of her recipes. Frankly, they tend to be too fatty for me, and use a lot of prepared food items.Boy was I surprised to see that it was a recipe from… |

Thai Beef Short RibsThai Beef Short RibsAs you all know, it is one of my biggest pet peeves that I can’t get a wide variety of ingredients locally, because of where I live. I often have to drive an hour or more to get to a store that carries what I want. Every once in awhile, though, I am pleasantly surprised by something I find at the grocery store. I… |

I Never Claimed to be Queen of the 'QueI Never Claimed to be Queen of the 'QueOf the many recurring themes I touch on in this little blog, is the fact that I live in a house of picky eaters.

Movie Night! For I Heart Cooking ClubsThe first thing I think of when I hear the words “Movie Night” usually have to do with popcorn, but I just couldn’t find a Bittman recipe involving popcorn that interested me. However, on the same page as “Buttered Popcorn” in How to Cook Everything, I found a recipe for spiced nuts. Roasted. Sautéed. Spiced. Buttered..... I did a… |

Grilled Pork Chops with Chili Maple GlazeI originally found this recipe online as a stove top variation on a Bon Appetit recipe. I’d quote the source (if I could find it) but I’ve taken creative license and have adapted it even further. Since I received a new grill from the hubs for Mothers Day, I’ve wanted nothing more than to grill everything in sight. So, when I pulled… |

Ode to (Papa) JoyOnce upon a time, many moons (ok, weeks) ago, I wrote a little blog post about neck bones and gravy.Who would have guessed what a stir it would cause!! As it turns out, more than a few people I know have a strong opinion on the subject. There are a couple of my friends who couldn’t fathom the concept at all (and the idea of eating… |

Loafing Around....This is going to be a quick post with just a couple of pictures, but I think the gorgeous round loaves speak for themselves. I will say that we had a little trouble getting the dough to proof with the weather being fickle last weekend, so the bowl with the dough in it spent a little time on the warm dashboard of Ginny's car, and then… |
