Tony and Legs surf and turf: Strip Steak with Mushroom Risotto, Blackened Shrimp and Asparagus.
Every once in a while we throw everything against the wall and make it stick. This was one of those nights! As far as the steak goes, my favorite cut is ribeye; however, after talking with the butcher, I was informed that the store we were at (Meijer) hadn’t had ribeyes in a few weeks. Alas, we […]
Elote!! Mexican Street Corn!
This is the most amazing way to eat corn period. I’m fairly upset with myself considering I lived about an hour from the Mexican border in Arizona for 2 years after Katrina; yet, I hadn’t had street corn until I moved to Ohio. I can’t say how good this stuff is enough. The best part is […]
Street Food Night! Sausage and Peppers on a Bun.
This is another one of those things that I really haven’t eaten or cooked much before I moved up north. I prefer this with a very spicy Italian sausage; however, any sausage really works with this. Just ensure that you are using fresh deli sausage not the smoked kind by the hotdogs. I hadn’t really thought […]
ANTIPASTO SALAD WITH LEG’s FAVORITE ITALIAN DRESSING
so, I rolled out the door this morning and felt like I was back home. The heat, the birds, the humidity… oh how I missed the heat. The weather put me in the mood for a good antipasto salad and one of my favorite salad dressings. Sometimes in life it’s the simple things that make a meals. This […]
Blackened Flounder Topped with Mango Salsa and AngelHair Alfredo -can use any fish really.
What you do for a quick meal? We do all sorts of things here when we are time pressed to make a fast meal. One of the things I like doing is blackened fish. I know several people that hear of a fish like that and think it’s time consuming. I assure it’s not. It took longer to […]
Stuffed Pasta Shells Two Ways: Meat and Cheese
This is another one of those dishes where I buy the ingredients a few days ahead of time and eagerly look forward to cooking all week long. This is not a difficult dish to make by any means; in fact, it’s quite simple. It’s just very time consuming. To start off with you have to make […]
Creamy Chicken Pablano Taco Soup
I’m always trying to plan my meals in a way that I have at least one meal a weak that each one of the kids really enjoys. This can be difficult; as I’m sure most parents realize since it never fails that one child hates the other child’s favorite foods. In our case we have one […]
Polish Boy – or Cleveland PoBoy
This is about the easiest thing I’ve ever made; and quick! This is the very definition of weeknight meal. It’s a kilbasa, on a bun, topped with coleslaw, fries and bbq sauce. There’s honestly not much to write about this, other than it’s downright delicious! As a major plus, it took a total of 10 minuted […]
Seared Tuna Wontons with Asian Slaw
This is my version of a stellar dish my wife and I had at a local bistro, by the name of, “Foundry.” It’s not a copycat recipe by any means, I didn’t attempt to replicate the flavor. I did; however, use their dish as an inspiration to come up with this. I have to say though; if […]
Smoked Wings- the sequel- The Wings Fly Home.
Yes, I did a video and write up on this a few weeks ago. However, I was not happy with the video; and, since I was asked to make these again, I figured why not. The process is always the same for this: separate the wing pieces, save or discard the points, then add desired rub […]
