Let’s face it. Meat is getting more expensive. That being the case, it’s not enough to grab a “cheap” (bring on the air quotes!) cut of meat and make a good meal. You have to do something amazing with it. That’s where this beer and onion...

Our family loves roll-ups. We take them on trips, we take them on walks, and yes, we make them for quick grab-and-go breakfasts. Just like the French toast roll-ups we’re making today. Roll-ups are a fun way to change up a thing you love, and they’re about...

It’s summer. That means grilling season is upon us and for me, that means a lot of weekend burgers. It goes without saying (at least in my family) that if you’re going to have burgers, you gotta have fries of some kind on the menu. (If I’m not...

What do you do when you’ve got a craving for something sweet, but you’re really trying to keep things a bit lighter and, dare I say a bit more “balanced” than a traditional dessert? There’s a problem, though. You’re craving...

The simplest way to save yourself a ton of money on your grocery bill is to buy in bulk when possible. That includes meat purchases. What will save you even more money on your grocery bill is doing some of the work yourself. In previous posts, I’ve gone over how...

My family spent a lot of time making memories. Most of them revolve around food. Some of my earliest childhood memories are connected to pot pies. While those were the frozen TV dinner variety, they were something I looked forward to after school on cold, rainy...

I love cooking historic recipes. Whether it’s traditional Irish soda bread from the 1800’s, or Chicken Pilaf with Cilantro circa 1930’s America. Old recipes fascinate me. This recipe for poached whitefish is an adaptation of a 1670’s recipe...

Namasu is something of a mystical dish. This simple salad of daikon radish and carrots is as simple to make as the similar tsukemono (overnight pickles), but is ready in just about 15 minutes. Namasu has a tangy-sweet flavor and incredible crisp texture that makes it...
