Is everyone as excited about grilling as I am? The weather is warming up and so is my grill. I love to grill so much so, that poor McGyver has slowly been cut off from the job. I couldn’t help myself, there is just something about standing next to the grill, drinking a beer and […]

BBQ Bacon Stuffed Meatloaf
Meatloaf can be boring and mundane unless you are a Rockstar named Meatloaf. Some of us grew up eating meatloaf or “meat surprise” as we called in grade school. A slice of some kind of meat topped with ketchup served on a tray with instant mashed potatoes and green beans. The only thing that could […]
Banana, Chocolate Chip, Granola Muffins
Don’t let the words banana and granola lure you into believing that there is anything healthy about these muffins. The chocolate chips are a good clue that these muffins aren’t exactly healthy, add the butter and sugar, well, you get a great tasting, high calorie, and high fat muffin. Don’t get the wrong idea, these […]
Sweet and Dillyiscious Pickles
Once again I am out of sync with everyone. I realize that people normally pickle their cucumbers once they have hoards of them and their neighbors, friends and relatives have refused to take another single one. Here I am making pickles, pickles with purchased cucumbers. First of all, I’ve never pickled anything in my life […]
S.O.S.
I’ve been eating S.O.S. since I was a wee little Navy Brat. That’s how it all got started, the U.S. Navy. Travel back in time with me, just for a little while… My father is one of the most interesting people I know, he’s from a small, nay, teeny tiny town in West Texas. He […]

Tunisian Couscous
I mentioned during this post that I was lucky enough to deploy to Tunisia while I was in the Air Force. It was a joint Medical operations. We flew down from RAF Lakenheath, UK in the not so comfortable jump seats in the back of a cargo plane. Our mission: To share/exchange some of our […]
Motorcycle Monday: Feasting on Asphalt and Loose Meat Sandwiches
It started to warm up here, the snow melting away, the roads clearing up, my hopes of riding soon increasing. Then the temps dropped and we got another dusting of snow. It makes it real tough to do a motorcycle bit sometimes. Since riding and recipes is what I do, I thought I’d feature a […]
Harissa
Sometimes you read something, watch something on TV or someone says something and it just brings back waves of memories. It’s not that you’ve forgotten, it just hasn’t been front and center on your mind. Then BOOM, you can’t get it out of your mind. The stories and the reminiscing begin… Almost all of my […]
Thin Mint Irish Coffee
It came to me, out of nowhere, a drink for St. Patrick’s Day. I tried to ignore it; it would be empty calories that I don’t need. Then I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond and they had Irish Coffee Mugs…cheap. I bought two. Just in case. But I won’t use them. I searched the […]
