It’s Pasta Time!

If you’re a pasta lover like me, transitioning to a low-carb or ketogenic diet can feel like you’re being forced to give up your favorite foods. While I stand firmly in my position that I CAN eat whatever I want, but I CHOOSE to eat foods that are better for my body, it doesn’t meanContinue reading “It’s Pasta Time!”

Brisket Insanity

So for all the recipes I try and food that I make at home, you would think that I’d done a brisket before. Nope. Not a single brisket had ever graced my freezer, refrigerator or oven…until today. Now all I can think about it how do I get me another one. I emailed my farmerContinue reading “Brisket Insanity”

Pork Belly Euphoria

Pork belly. Also known as pork side or middlen. The most treasured part of any hog purchase because it is used to MAKE BACON. But every now and then you have to try something new.

Ground beef and a homemade rub. That’s it. Granted, theContinue reading “Independence Day Egg Bash Part II”

Independence Day Egg Bash

Grilling out is a sign of independence. Humans. Fire. Meat. Electricity optional. Maybe that’s why it’s so popular to have a cookout on the 4th of July. Maybe it’s because this style of cooking was very popular during the early years of the USA, as it’s easy to feed a large crowd. Whatever the reason,Continue reading “Independence Day Egg Bash”

Memorial Day Chicken Bacon Salad

Just in time for your holiday weekend (if you’re in the US) a quick and delicious salad to accompany your burgers, steaks, etc. This is a great way to use leftover roast chicken and/or another use for that package of bacon you’re opening for bacon cheeseburgers this weekend. If your spouse permits, adding shallots, onions,Continue reading “Memorial Day Chicken Bacon Salad”
