While I was New York I accompanied Dana’s Father to a nice market. This market has a small wheel of Camembert cheese on sale for half off. Yeah, I could not pass up on the offer. So I thought about making a wheel of Camembert wrapped in puff pastry. Then Dana’s dad said that he had some [...]

Dana and I love Entenmann’s Cheese Strip Danish. So I decided to try to recreate it. Well I was partially there, but it was a fail. I failed to let the danish proof so the final product was a little dense. Further, I am pretty sure that the instant yeast that I purchased did not activate. [...]

Dana and I love meatloaf. We have it at least once a month. However, having a food blog makes it hard to repeat recipes. So we don’t have it as much as we would like. So I started to think about ways I could change the recipe to make it new and blog-able. So I [...]
I am a huge fan of Quiche. The other night I was clueless as to what to make for dinner. I had a bunch of eggs lying around and figured a Quiche would be perfect. Add a little bacon and Swiss and this was going to be a great meal. I used the basic recipe [...]
I love Noodles and Company. Every chance I get, I go there to eat. However, since I have moved the closest one is 20 minutes away. My favorite dish is their Wisconsin Mac and Cheese. It is a fun dish where there is a cheesy sauce in the bottom of the bowl. Then it is [...]

We have had a loss of power for the last couple days. Dana and I have been running out to various restaurants and stores to charge our phones and eat. One of the restaurants that we frequented was a Mexican Restaurant. I love tacos and tamales. So those flavors were stuck in my head when [...]

I love the blue box stuff, but sometimes you just want to make it from scratch. Well I have tried over and over again, and it always seems to fail. My mac and cheese is never as creamy. So I looked for a little wisdom from Alton Brown and figured I would give it a [...]

The other day I smoked chicken drumsticks. I ended up make more than I could eat. So I decided to turn the rest into a tasty pizza. This smoked chicken pizza has a nice smoky flavor and a little kick from the spicy barbecue sauce that I used as the base. Topped with roasted red peppers, red [...]

I love potatoes and I am always looking for a new way to cook them on the grill. I have done foil packets before, but this time it is serious. The potatoes are plump, juicy and completely coated with cheese. Who could ask for a better side on this Memorial Day Weekend. By opening up [...]

Nothing pairs better with Tomato Soup than a grilled cheese. I wanted to create the ultimate grilled cheese. To do that I had to take a trip to the supermarket.
