Being a generally lazy person, I like making things for dinner that either (a) yield leftovers or (b) can be used to make multiple meals. And, really, what’s more easy and popular than pasta? Unfortunately, pasta sauce is an ever-moving…

It’s Labor Day, it’s getting late, but you want to close off the weekend with a BBQ. That’s what Americans do, right? Put meat on fire. Grunt. Huhrrrr Dinner. At the same time, it’s Monday, and it’s been a long…

This one is easy awesomeness. There’s bacon, there’s minimal work, there’s nommage. How could that be anything less? As the title suggests, it’s an easy variant of a Chicken Cordon Bleu, but in all reality it’s an improved version. Everything…

Ever had one of those days when you regret not going to the supermarket before the weekend? No ground beef, no chicken, nothing for protein. Just a few semi-identifiable bits of something that’s been sitting in the freezer too long….
This is a classic “stuff on noodles” Southern like mama used to make, and a family favorite. It serves 6 and change, but can easily be cut in half for 3-4 and leftovers.

I mean, it’s chicken. Deep-fried. Then topped with some pasta sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan, then baked. What’s not to like?

I came across a couple references of how the vaqueros (Mexican cowboys) were given the tri-tip of the cow to eat since it wasn’t a desirable cut at the time. They’d often cook it on a spit and serve a…

I’ve just got to say… I really don’t know why I waited so long to try my hand at this. Soup is a wonderful thing on a cold night, especially something hearty. So, I’ll just dig right in. This recipe…

Sadly, a glitch occured in the matrix, and I lost a couple of recipes – including this one. So, here it is, redux-style. Like a phoenixburger, it shall rise from its ashes… This was a peculiar flash of inspiration –…
