Fried Andouille Sausage Po’boy
This is possibly the best Po’boy in the world…but before that, a little rant. I’m losing my mind or someone is playing ‘Gaslight‘ on me. A few month’s ago I lost my kick ass, high dollar SD card for my camera. No.where.to.be.found. I swear! I am super religious about taking my card out, putting it […]
Sweet Chile and Orange Ribs and Chinese 5-spice Corn on the Cob
I am so happy to share that I am writing, doing recipe development and photos for Pig of the Month again. They’ve launched a new blog format Sauce+Style, it’ll be full of recipes, great links, drink ideas and entertaining tips. I’ve kicked off the new blog with these Sweet Chile and Orange Ribs. They […]
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
This never happens, ever. I got my Secret Recipe Club assignment this month and within 30 seconds I had a recipe picked out. Just.like.that. I was assigned Kate’s Kitchen, as I scrolled down her page I saw this egg yolk nested in spaghetti and the word guanciale jumped out at me. Done. That’s it. That’s […]
Maryland Fried Chicken
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 […]
Pressure Cooker {Venison or Beef} Enchiladas
Why did I ever buy canned enchilada sauce? And how come no one ever told me that making your own enchilada sauce was so easy? Doesn’t anyone love me? Don’t you think I had a right to know? Thank goodness for Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned cook with Sara, a Midwestern girl […]
Hot Dog Sauce Taste Off! Tony Packo’s vs. Rudy’s
When the F-15 jets left Great Falls we thought that meant that McGyver’s job had left too. In a sense it did, as in there isn’t a job here for him anymore. Fortunately he still had time on his contract so his company is using him to provide IT/CISSP assistance at different bases. Atlantic City, […]
Kuhn Rikon Kochblume Spill Stopper {Product Review}
It’s very rarely that I do a product review. Mostly I have a love hate relationship with kitchen products, gadgets and gewgaws (yes that’s how you really spell “gee-gaws” and yes it really is a word…thanks spell check and Dictionary online for clearing that up for me). New kitchen items are so exciting, there’s this […]
Petite Orange and Tart Cherry Baklava
Last week I mentioned that I had been craving Greek food like a mad dog. It was a powerful and all-consuming craving that had to be satisfied. I gave into my craving when I got my SRC assignment and made some fabulous chicken gyros (ones that I am already craving again…). I seriously wanted Greek […]
Easy Chicken Gyros
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 […]
Avocado and Egg Salad Sandwich
Did everyone remember to spring ahead? I certainly did not which only makes springing forward that much more difficult to adjust to. Falling back is easy, nothing like feeling like you have a bonus hour. Springing ahead, what? I already don’t have enough time in the day and now I’ve lost an hour? For the […]
