Wow. I can’t believe how fast Thanksgiving came along this year. And that’s saying something since up here in Canada, Thanksgiving happens at the beginning of October. You’d think that I would have had enough warning right? This is a recipe/food project I’ve wanted to tackle since Suz and I saw Michael Symon make it…
Thanksgiving Meatloaf Muffins with Cranberry Ketchup & Cauliflower Mash
A few weeks ago, I made some mini-meatloaf muffins “frosted” with mashed potatoes for my weekly girls night (in which we watch Dancing with the Stars – don’t hate. Team Alfonso btw). Needless to say, they were a huge hit! I had used dark turkey meat but made it more of a traditional Italian meatloaf….
Firecracker Duck Wings
Wow, what a week it’s been for us lately. It’s been so busy that the time has just flown by in a big way. Last week, Suz flew out to Pittsburgh to hang out with some of our best friends, Bill and Hayley Staley from Primal Palate. I was supposed to go with her for…
Peach BBQ Chicken Legs
Spring is around the corner, and with that comes warmer weather, which usually means backyard BBQ’s with family and friends. One of the big BBQ dishes in my household (other than ribs and brisket of course) is definitely the BBQ chicken. Growing up, we would have chicken breasts, thrown on the grill and covered with…
Smoked Chicken Wings with Homemade Ranch
It seems like for the past few months almost that I’ve been on a big time chicken wing kick. And I mean, BIG TIME. I think I have averaged chicken wings about 2-3 times per week. I think one of the best things about chicken wings has to be the fact that the cooking…
Crock Pot Bone Broth
First off, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I truly hope your holiday break was as amazing as mine was. My girlfriend and I each traveled home to Colorado to visit our families for Christmas. Her entire family was in town from Alabama for the eventual birth of her new nephew. Which…
Herb Roasted Turkey and Gravy with Citrus Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it brings one of the most iconic dishes in America: The Roasted Turkey. We’ve all experienced some amazingly succulent and tasty birds in our Thanksgiving pasts, but I think it’s safe to say we’ve also experienced the opposite. A turkey so dry and bland that it almost…
Cajun Smoked Chicken
This past weekend I tried my hand at using a tool that I’ve always wanted to use: a smoker. A few of my friends have one of their own and I always have to hear about how awesome the food is once it’s done. I have to admit, it made me very jealous and I…
Review: 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking | Italian Wedding Soup
Well, they’ve done it again. Two of the hardest working people I know have released yet ANOTHER book. My good friends, Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate have been working hard on an expansion of their wildly popular ebook 30 Day Intro to Paleo called The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. Let…
Pan Roasted Duck Legs with Black Cherry Sauce
Duck has to be one of my favorite birds to eat and cook. It doesn’t hurt that one of the side effects of cooking duck is an extra cache of delicious duck fat that can be used for a great many things in the kitchen. It is, after all referred to by many a cook…
