Whenever I have a ton of left overs and I want to clear out the fridge I try to find something new and exciting to try. I love eggs and they go with almost any flavor. You can make them sweet in desserts or savory in a quiche. So I wanted to use eggs and [...]

I purchased a bunch of bananas last week. That was before I realized how long I was going to be gone for Memphis. I ended up being in Memphis for 5+ days. So when I came back, I had a bunch of extremely ripe bananas. So I decided to make some banana bread. I love [...]

Every Wednesday I review a cookbook to help weed out the good the bad and the ugly. This week I am reviewing The Art & Soul of Baking by Cindy Mushet. I love baking. I guess it is the engineer in me that loves the precise measurements and the ability to use cool cooking tools. [...]

Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Topping
The other day I went to the store and blueberries were on sale. I love blueberries. As a kid I would always go pick blueberries with my mother and siblings. It was fun because you could eat as many blueberries as you wanted while you picked. I would always come home with purlish/blue hands. So [...]

English Muffin Bread
Earlier this week Nick over at Macheesmo made english muffins. This reminded me of the english muffin bread that my mom buys from the local Amish Community. The bread is light and airy and toasts beautifully. I wanted to recreate that bread. Here is my shot at it. Unlike most bread dough’s you do not [...]

Strawberry Shortcake
My parents came to visit me this weekend. They like to visit and barbecue and I like to have them to manual labor in return. My dad helped me replace my front door and my mom cleaned and cooked. It was pretty sweet. On one trip to the grocery store we noticed that strawberries were [...]

Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have been on a quest for the best chocolate chip cookies for a while. After a while I have figured out the ingredients needed to make a really good cookie. You need to use both butter and shortening. If you use all butter your cookies come out flat and crunchy. If you use all [...]

Sour Dough Starter
When i was growing up my Dad always used to make homemade sour dough bread. Since he is coming to visit in a couple of weeks I thought I would go down memory lane and make some sour dough starter. It is really simple, but takes a week to get started.

Basics: Baked Potatoes
When I was 18, I got a job bartending at the Nickerson Inn in Pentwater Michigan. It was a great place. Great food and a relaxed atmosphere that is missing from modern restaurants. If you had the opportunity to eat and/or stay there before it burned down in 2007, well you were lucky. Along with being [...]

10 Minute Pizza Crust
Ahh the elusive 10 minute pizza. I love homemade pizza but it just takes too long to make for the average individual. Dough usually needs to be rested, proofed, and formed usually taking up to and over 2 hours. Below I tried a recipe based on a recipe from Cooks.com for a 5 minute pizza [...]
