The last two weekends Betsy and I have ventured out onto the ski slopes, one time in Steamboat Springs and one time up at our local slope. (Hard life… I know.) I think it may be because skiing, for me, is basically a constant battle to not break major bones, but I’m always extremely exhausted [...]

The Sardine Sandwich
Guys, I’m addicted to sardines. It’s kind of a weird thing to be addicted to since I’m pretty sure most people are just lukewarm about them. But they are so good. Sardines are salty and rich and good on a ton of different foods. They get a really bad rap though and a lot of [...]
Tuesday Treat: Grillin? Days
In honor of fixing my grill that I set on fire a few weeks ago, I wanted to do a fun Tuesday treat related to the grill! After all, it’s summer time and hopefully you’ll get a chance to light up your grill (or make friends with someone who can) at some point soon. [...]
Turkey Lettuce Wraps
I’ve always been skeptical of the lettuce wrap. This is how it usually goes down when I try to eat something wrapped in nothing more than lettuce: 1) I pick up the lettuce wrapped thing. 2) The lettuce rips into a million tiny pieces spilling stuff all over the place. 3) I look like an [...]
Cocky Bloody Mary
There are two questions I immediately ask myself when creating recipes: 1) Is there any way I can add booze to this? 2) Is there any way I can Sriracha to this? Any time I can stick both of these together, I’m a happy camper. Also included in this post is quite possibly the best [...]
The Internet Kitchen: Strawberry Gazpacho!
Last month I was contacted by Lipman Produce to do some recipe development for them for a new website they launched. For full disclosure, they did pay me to do the project, but I love the final recipe and the website has some interesting other recipes from other bloggers that contributed to the launch. They [...]
Mother?s Day Primavera
For those of you who voted for a fancy pasta in last week’s poll, I have to apologize. You were probably expecting some fancy ravioli. A simple pasta primavera is maybe not what you had in mind. But I was cooking for my mother and she likes simple dishes, so Nanny nanny boo boo! My [...]
Ibarra Chile Fudge
I don’t know if you’ve been to a candy shop recently, but fudge is fudgin’ expensive! It’s just sugar and chocolate but you would think that it was filled with gold bullion. When it comes to making candy, I think fudge is a pretty beginner item. It does require a bit of patience and you’ll need [...]
10 Dinner Guests (and what to cook them)
It turns out that if people discover you run a semi-successful food blog, they want to eat at your house. I imagine that chefs have a similar problem. The main distinction, of course, is that I’m not a chef! I don’t cook for people for a living and so I still get a bit stressed [...]
Cast Iron Breadsticks
I’m not entirely sure who was the genius behind serving breadsticks with pizza. It’s like some mad marketing genius at Pizza Hut woke up one day and exclaimed, “I know! You know that super-bready pizza we shill to people? Let’s sell MORE bread on the side. In fact, it can probably be the same dough [...]
Southwestern Hash Browns
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! I kind of didn’t mean to, but I posted basically all Tex-Mex stuff this week. If you need some inspiration for this Cinco de Mayo Saturday, make some tacos, some salsa, or some nachos if you’re feeling ambitious. Or you could just make these delicious Southwest hash browns. They are [...]
