I’ve had some cooking nemesis in my day, you know the dishes that you just can’t seem to get right? For many years I struggles with making a good flour based gravy, it is simple to make but I just was trying too hard and would come out with lumpy flour-y gravy. Yet I could […]
What a week the last week has been. It was Western Art Week here in Great Falls, I served up a special BBQ Brisket menu, taught a Sushi rolling class and catered at the Portal Art Gallery for 75+ people. Thank goodness when I got my Secret Recipe Club assignment, I was right on the […]
I really wish that I could share a taste of the food that I post about it; a taste replaces a thousand words. Sometimes I struggle trying to articulate how incredible a recipe is. I find myself consistently falling back on yummy, delicious, tasty, awesome, etc. Sometimes I get so desperate that I make up […]
I am so excited for this month’s Secret Recipe Club reveal, the first one of 2013! If you haven’t heard of this great ‘secret santa’ type group, you should check out their site. Gurl, you wouldn’t believe who’s blog I got this month. That’s right it was steaknpotatoeskindagurl. Not surprisingly, the first recipes I sought […]

Every month I get so excited about my next Secret Recipe Club assignment. Secret what? If you haven’t already heard about the club, it’s a club where bloggers are assigned another club member’s blog. The idea is to cook one of their recipes and post on reveal day. This is the brain child of Amanda […]
When I was stationed in England, I was the sergeant in charge of our Oral Surgery department. I worked with two other assistants, both of Hispanic origin. We were a great team, Dora, Gonzo and myself. Gonzo was our muscle (and eye candy); he was also the youngest so he probably got a little more […]
In the package that I received from Bella Sun Luci were julienned sun dried tomatoes and red peppers. My sun dried tomato cooking usually leans towards Mediterranean cooking, but when I saw this package with the red peppers, I went South of the Border for inspiration.
Isn’t it amazing how small the chickens are getting these days. Who thought of ‘Toy’ chickens? Whoever did, they’re a genius. Tiny chicken legs are the perfect messy finger food. Kidding…about the ‘Toy’ chickens, not about the little ‘legs’ being the perfect messy finger food. These little legs are the easier to eat, meatier part […]
