Since today is New Years Eve I wanted to do a little Champagne Taste Test. I like to drink a lot of champagne, so I like to go with quantity, thus all of the bottles are less than $15. But, price does not always mean quality.

Garlic Bread Revisited
I know I usually have drink recipes on Wednesdays, but this week I decided to make a special drink post on New Years Eve. Thus, today I decided to post one of my favorite sides. Garlic Bread. I love garlic bread. I like it crispy, crunchy and extremely garlicky. Basically I like it so garlicky [...]
Chicken Nachos

Melt and serve. Howe easy can that be. My favorite type of Nachos are Chicken Nachos. Top with some sour cream and you [...]
City Chicken
When I was growing up my Grandma Donna used to make us City Chicken. It was always the best meal of the year. This year we decided to make City Chicken for our Christmas meal. What is City Chicken you ask? Well it is a combination of meat on a stick that appears to look [...]
Cheese Bread
Last year I went to a little diner in New Jersey called Mastoris. They had this amazing cheese bread that I loved. I wanted to recreate it, but unlike a standard cheese danish this had a bread-like texture. It was more bread than danish. So after a little searching online, I think I found the [...]

Homemade Chocolate Fudge
I am continuing with Holiday Appetizer Week. This time we are changing things up a bit. When it comes to bite size food, people usually forget about dessert. Granted most desserts are finger food, but not many are bite size. So I decided to make little bite sized squares of fudge. Fudge is the perfect [...]
Homemade Egg Nog
There is no drink that is more in the holiday spirit than egg nog. Today I am going to be making it from scratch. I know you can pick up the pre-made stuff from 7-11 to the pharmacy, but this stuff is 100 times better. I have only had the pre-packaged egg nog till today [...]
Mini Beef Wellington

Bacon Wrapped Pineapple
Around the holidays my family usually gets together for dinner, but before we eat we usually have appetizers. So this week I wanted to showcase some great appetizers. Today is the simplest appetizer of all. It just happens that it might be the most delicious too. These lasted about 2 minutes. Yep, they are good.
Bottling Beer
Back in October I brewed beer with a couple friends at Shenandoah Brewery. Here is the link. Last week before the giant blizzard we went back to bottle it. It was a pretty simple procedure taking about an hour and a half for 120 bottles. In the end we ended up with a fine product. [...]
DC Weather
So I was going to cook yesterday to make a nice post for today, but the lines at the grocery store were 50 people long. Why you ask, supposedly there was going to be a big winter storm rolling through. So I put my groceries back and decided to risk it. I did not want [...]
