Personal Faves

Prepare yourself for a bold statement.  Pizza is my favorite food.  Isn’t that quite the declaration?  Bold, but true.  Unfortunately,  it isn’t the healthiest thing in the entire world unless you make Roasted Peppers and Feta Pizza.  This recipe is an oldie but a goody.  It is from the very first cookbook I ever received [...]

Guys love a good dry rub now and then.  Read that however you want. We also love a good dry rub on our steaks.  That said, women love a great steak too and with a good dry rub, you may start to develop a whole new appreciation for a good slab of red meat. Now [...]

This site is  not what you might expect me to be interested in but we can all grow and change and I am becoming more domesticated!  Those of you who’ve known me since way back in the day are familiar with Princess Sarah.  I was quite spoiled as a child and teenager and didn’t do [...]

“Loin of pork” doesn’t sound very appetizing, but I promise it is.  I hardly cook any meat other than chicken because it just seems hard.  I’ve been staying at my mom’s house a ton this summer and she has reintroduced me to good pork.  The other white meat right??  Anyway, it was my grandma’s birthday [...]

So Sarah’s post about one of my favorite recipes (Horseradish Crusted Filet) reminded me of one of my favorite side dishes for that recipe.  Yes, you guessed it: Grilled Asparagus! 1.  Clean asparagus and cut the ends off where they start to get hard and white 2.  Lay out the asparagus on a cutting board [...]

I can hardly focus to write this post.  I’m thinking STEAK, filet mignon specifically… red-skin mashed potatoes…. goat cheese marinara with toasted pitas… STEAK.   Excuse me as I wipe the drool from my mouth!  This is not just any steak.  I don’t even usually like meat, especially red meat.  Wildfire is WORTH IT though. I [...]

I never used to like oatmeal and now I eat it almost every day.  I think that’s because I found the best way to prepare it.  I hate food that is too mushy… you know, food that you could eat if you had no teeth.  I’ve found that the first key to making successful oatmeal [...]

I am OBSESSED with eating roasted broccoli.  Thankfully David likes it too because I swear to you I make it once a week.  It’s so easy, tastes great, and broccoli is supposed to do all kinds of good things for you like prevent cancer.  I know that’s kind of common knowledge now but just in [...]

I LOVE breakfast food.  Problem: I hate making it.  Second problem: is it just me or does it always seem impossible to get into a breakfast restaurant on the weekends?  I have only found one restaurant, so far, close to my house that takes reservations for breakfast.  Even then you have to have at least [...]
