Last week, I found a beef brisket on sale at Costco and couldn’t pass up the opportunity. We’ve had a month or more of sub-freezing temps (more often closer to zero than 20) and a slow-cooked beef dish sounded just like what the chef ordered. I love a good beef brisket, but since there’s only […]

There’s an old 3-ring binder that I hang on to. It has papers and note cards sticking out in every direction and every other time I pick it up, half the contents fall out. I hang on to it, because it’s a collection of recipes my mom put together. She wasn’t an extravagant cook, just […]
I made awesome stew last night, but I’ll warn you right off the bat – If you’re looking for something with lots of veggies, or some elaborate dish to serve to guests, this probably isn’t your cup of tea. This is more of a “bachelor cooking, not feeling 100%, but wanting something warm that will […]

Can you believe we’re already closing in on Christmas and 2012 isn’t far off. Hope you have most of that Christmas shopping wrapped up. I’ve always been one for the more crafty gifts rather than buying everything. Part because I have been living on the college student budget and part because it’s just more fun. […]
Christmas is drawing near and with it comes great times with the 3 F’s: Family, Friends, and Food! Many holiday memories center around the kitchen table as my family gathers around the many casseroles, dressing, and pies. After all, who doesn’t love some good food? Yes, I do have a few dishes I enjoy fixing. […]
Yeah, I think that title pretty much hits it dead on. Last week, I was rambling around the kitchen, found my favorite Trail Boss’ Cowboy Cookbook, and made what I consider a pretty decent excuse for chicken fried steak and skillet gravy. It’s the kinda meal that Hits. The. Spot. if ya know what I […]
