Mushroom-Bacon Stuffed Omelets

Mushroom-Bacon Stuffed Omelets

Breakfast for dinner, right?  I’ll be honest and say I almost never have breakfaast for breakfast, but still… breakfast for dinner.  There’s just something magical about that (Dennys at 2AM aside). So, tonight’s breakfast dinner is omelets.  But not just…

Steak au Poivre (-ish)

Steak au Poivre (-ish)

Cook me like one of those French grills Okay, this is one of those things that are simple, but you’ll pay a lot for in a restaurant.  It’s not necessarily easy, but it’s simple.  The trick is in the meat,…

Bastardized Indian Bread Food

If you know me, you know that I never bake.  Baking is as much science (chemistry, especially) as it is an art, and we don’t get along so well – Screw up a step (which I’m good at) and there’s…

Fajitas

Grilled Tequila Fajitas

Fajita time!  It’s also Weber Season. So, we can cook all of the main dish on the grill, not counting any sides you might want. Good fajitas have a robust flavor, and here a little tequila kicks it up a…

Beer-Battered Onion Rings

I’ll just come out and say it – Onion rings are awesome, whether on a burger, or as a side.  I mean, deep-fried onions, am I right?  Well, deep fried nearly everything.  Deep.Fried.  *drools a little* At some point I’ll…

Mozzarella in Carrozza

Mozzarella in Carrozza (Italian “French” Toast)

“Mozzarella in a Carriage“.  Earlier this week, I came across a reference to this, with two sentences to the effect of, “In Italy they make French toast with mozzarella in between two slices of bread, then fried. Sometimes it’s served with…

Cast-Iron baked cornbread

Vaqueros Corn Bread

If you’re like me, you grew up with Jiffy cornbread.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that – Jiffy is cheap, easy, and tasty.  All three of which are total ‘wins’ in my book.  On the other hand, there’s a…

Japanese Curry paste

Japanese Curry, or What to do with that box of S&B Golden Curry you just bought

This is kind of a departure for me, as I’m writing about a box of stuff that you buy at a store.  In my defense though, it’s a box of curry paste that, although the integral ingredient is probably not…

La-La-La-La-La-Lasagna

For some reason it seems like a lot of people fear lasagna.  I have some theories, but I’ll reserve them for a minute. Lasagna is, at the root, pretty simple.  There are variations on how many layers, and the like,…
