The other day I was cleaning the garage and found a deep fryer that Dana and I received as a wedding present. It was perfect timing, as the Big game is approaching and I received a question on how to make homemade boneless buffalo wings. I have made wings in the past, but never boneless [...]

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 have been up all night lately and my only savior has been coffee. Nothing goes with coffee like Shortbread cookies (AKA Sandies). I buy them by the case. However, I ran out and was unable to go to the store. So I decided to try them for myself. It is a basic butter cookie [...]
With the Holiday’s upon us we are constantly bombarded with pies and cakes that go great with whipped cream. You can grab a spray can or a tub of whipped cream product, but nothing tastes as good as homemade whipped cream. It is super simple to make. Just add whipping cream, sugar and a hint [...]

Ever since passing an Ikea on my way to DC the other day I have been craving Swedish Meatballs. Hard to believe but Ikea has great affordable food. My favorite is the Swedish Meatballs. Those tasty little meatballs in the delicious beef gravy. After having the craving for a few days I decided to [...]
I love stove top stuffing. Something about the easy directions and great flavor that keeps me going back. I love it! However, sometimes when you have a food blog, everyone wants you to make everything from scratch. Who knew that it was a faux pas to serve boxed stuffing to your friends and family when [...]

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 [...]
Although it doesn’t seem to get that cold here in Richmond, we did have a nice cool spell where we had a few days in the 60s. As soon as I felt a little chill I wanted to make soup. I love soup and in turn I really enjoy making it. You put in a [...]

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 [...]

This week Dana got a year older. For her sake, we will not divulge the exact age. However, her only request was to have lasagna made with beef and not Italian sausage. So I whipped up some homemade noodles and put together her Birthday Lasagna. It was a great little lasagna. I may not be Italian, but I [...]
Memorial Day is the ultimate grilling day! Nothing goes with burgers and hot dogs like Ketchup. So I decided to tackle homemade ketchup. This ketchup is made with tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar and spices. No high fructose corn syrup, preservatives or fillers. Homemade ketchup is not only good for you, it is also customizable to [...]
For Easter I wanted to tackle something new. Something that was traditional, but done in a new way. So, I picked Green Bean Casserole. That tasty concoction of cream of mushroom soup, green beans and crunchy fried onions. So I oven fried onions, made homemade cream of mushroom soup and even trimmed real (not canned) [...]
There is no better side dish than corn. I love corn! So today I am making some homemade cream corn. I love this with a nice sweet white and yellow corn. Unfortunately, when I was trying this recipe out I was unable to get some fresh sweet corn. The corn at the market was tiny [...]
