I hate to say it but I love sweets. I guess that is how I keep my amazing figure. Haha. Anyways, I am a huge fan of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. I like my cookies semi-dense with a little bite but not too chewy. Along the same path I like my cookies to be thick [...]

I like to consider myself a grill master. I love to cook everything on the grill. However, I was browsing through the website yesterday and I determined I was seriously short on grilled side dishes. There are a ton of sides that go great with grilled foods, but not so many sides that are prepared [...]

Chicken is a great meat for grilling. Chicken is a blank canvas just waiting for you to add a few ingredients to make it pop. This recipe is one of those simple yet extraordinary dishes. It takes 10 minutes to prep, 1-4 hours to marinate and 16-25 minutes to grill. Then there is the flavor. [...]
I know it is hard to believe but sometimes I get cook’s block. It is like writer’s block except I can not think of a single thing to make for dinner. So earlier this week Dana requested something from chicken and something from ground beef. I went to the store and picked up the basic [...]
I was walking through the mall the other day when a random lady ran up to me and offered me some bourbon chicken. I usually do not take random food from strangers, but she looked like she worked at the restaurant at the food court so that was good enough for me. I am glad [...]
Fettuccine Alfredo is one of those dishes that sounds complicated and time consuming. There is nothing farther from the truth. Basic Fettuccine Alfredo has 7 ingredients and takes roughly the time to boil the Fettuccine to make. I spiced this recipe up by adding one ingredient to the basic recipe. Daring isn’t it. However, Asparagus [...]
Every once in a while I will go out to eat and there will be an amazing soup with delicious dumpling-like noodles in it. I have always wondered how or where they get their noodles. Then I started to mess around with dumpling recipes to see if I could turn them into noodles. I was [...]

I have a vast collection of cookbooks. Some are new and some I have collected from yard sales and random book sales. I was looking through one random book on baking when a cutout of random paper fell into my lap. That cutout was from a July issue of Coastal Living, and described this brownie [...]
I love grilled chicken. However, if you cook boneless skinless chicken breasts life can become dry and boring. So I devised a surefire way to cook chicken, keep it moist and give it a smokey bacony flavor. Yep, skewer the chicken with a couple strips of bacon. The fat keeps the chicken moist and imparts [...]
Over the past couple Months, Dana and I have been traveling a lot. We have found ourselves in a ton of airports. While we were waiting for one of our many delays, we stumbled upon one vendor selling Tres Leches cake. It was awesome! Ever since that day, I have been craving Tres Leches Cake. [...]
Even though it was just Dana and I for Easter, I made a giant honey glazed ham. I could not help myself. Plus I love leftovers. But then you have to figure out what leftovers to make. There are a million tasty little creations that you can make with leftover ham. I decided to make [...]

Waffles are one of my favorite breakfast treats. However, basic Belgium waffles take a little bit of time to make. You need to separate the eggs, whip the egg whites and fold them in. Early in the morning, the last thing that I want to do is all of that. I want a simple recipe [...]
It has been super nice here in DC. This weekend is supposed to reach the 80′s. So I decided to make a nice refreshing cocktail. This week’s cocktail is the strawberry daiquiri. This is a quick and easy rum based drink, as long as you have a blender. No blender, then this might not be [...]
