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 […]
Pho or Japanese Beef Soup or Ramen- Call it What You Will, I Call it Deliciousness.
I think a major drawback to some people making this at home is the fact that the broth for this dish should take a minimum of 4-6 hours to make. Most people I’ve seen make it, take 8-10 hours. Thank goodness for American consumerism! Now, you can buy Bone Broth or Pho Broth prepackaged for about 3 dollars […]
Shrimp Scampi with a side of Spinach Dip.
So it’s mother day, and the weather is garbage. We actually had snow; which, should be illegal in May. Being that its mother day, I wanted to make a few of my wife’s favorite things. Pizza- with pulled pork with bbq sauce and vegetable with oil/garlic sauce for lunch; and shrimp scampi for supper. I ended up with […]
Crockpot Country Style Pork Ribs – with a Baked Macaroni.
Crockpot Country Style Pork Ribs – with a bit of baked macaroni. We found a deal on these and could not pass them up. It was 4 pounds of country style pork ribs for $3.50! Who can say no?Definitely not us. Unfortunately the weather has been terrible so outdoor cooking was not an option, enter […]
Delicious pan seared crispy boneless chicken thighs – same method world great for bone in thighs.
This is hands down my favorite way to eat chicken thighs; especially bone-in skin on. The skin gets crispy like fried chicken, and the meat is always tender and juicy. I accidentally took out the boneless thighs to defrost, and it works equally well. So, no worries, here we go. This dish is really ideal […]
Chicken Taquitos -Rolled Tacos
This things are amazing! I used to get these for lunch when I lived in Tucson. It’s such a simple idea, too. It’s basically just a rolled taco that is deep fried. Some people smother them in cheese and guacamole; but, any topping you enjoy world great! I used some street taco sauce from Herdez, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh pico […]
Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
So this is my version of the classic. If you ask anyone down in Cajun country for a jambalaya recipe, you’ll be hard pressed to find the same recipe twice- except for from kin. You’ll also find many people expressing the “right way” to make it: I don’t believe there is a right nor wrong way. You make it […]
No Matter How Good You Are, Accidents Will Always Happen- and sometimes Fires.
I am writing this for those who are just getting into cooking or trying to learn. Story time: So, I decided to go ahead and grill some chicken legs today at the request of my son. I had them marinate for the better part of 10 hours, got the grill nice and hot and then put […]
Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Bruschetta Caprese
Normally I make it a practice to plan meals; however, Recently I’ve gotten a little lazy with that. Today was the pinnacle of said laziness. I woke up, had some coffee and realized I took some chicken breasts out the night before with no plans on what to do with it. I kinda love those moments, it’s […]
Sonoran Hotdog
Sonoran Hotdogs I discovered these while in exile, in Tucson Arizona after hurricane Katrina. I was only there for a few weeks and an office mate told my cousin and I about these magical wieners. We drove for about an hour to get our first one; and when we did, we had an experience in food […]
