Bbq Oysters with a Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
Several times a year, I drive down to the coast with empty coolers to pick up lots of fresh Louisiana Seafood, the best of Gulf Seafood. Luckily, much of the seafood is in season year-round, so there is never a shortage of domestic fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs. This spring, we’ve also had countless backyard crawfish […]
Barbecue Peach Meatballs
After visiting Carlsbad Caverns, we headed north through Taos to Durango, Colorado. When I was a child, we took the historic steam-powered train from Durango to Silverton through the beautiful San Juan mountains. We sat in one of the open train cars, so we could enjoy the incredible weather and views. We didn’t even bother to bring […]
Super-Crispy Korean Chicken
There is nothing worse than biting into a piece of soggy fried chicken. This is often the case after fried chicken has been tossed in a sauce, but this recipe solves that problem with a secret ingredient: Vodka. I’m not even kidding. Adding vodka to the chicken marinade and coating will give you an extra-crunchy […]
Striped Crab Ravioli with a Sage Butter Sauce
I finally did it. I broke down and bought the pasta attachments for my kitchen aid stand mixer. It’s been something I’ve been back and forth on for some time, but I could never bring myself to actually click “submit order.” We don’t eat much pasta and when we do get a craving for spaghetti, I usually […]

Creamy Chicken Tikka Masala
During our summer road trip, Elliott and I had the opportunity to eat at some really great restaurants. Our favorites included a brewhouse in Colorado, a tapas restaurant in New Mexico, and a pizza parlor in Wyoming. However, our all-time favorite restaurant was a small Indian place just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. Their Lamb Tikka […]
dill pickle pizza
A couple of years ago, there was a dill-pickle pizza craze. I have always wanted to make or buy one. I found the concept fascinating. Isn’t it just delicious? Dill Pickle Pizza? You can’t go wrong with dill pickle pizza. If you love dill pickles as much as I do, then I don’t see how it could go wrong. It […]
Garlic Butter Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner
One pan. 30 minutes. One delicious dinner. Sheet pan meals make life so easy and this particular one is really something special. A far cry from the usual chicken breasts or sausage you see in a sheet pan dinner, this one features enough salmon to feed four hungry people plus roasted potatoes plus green beans. And did I mention it comes […]

Egg Roll Ramen Skillet
The best of both worlds. When eating out or ordering Chinese food, a side of egg rolls is always a must. There’s just something about the combination of sweet and tender cabbage and carrots with savory pork that’s hard to beat. So why not take that winning flavor combination and turn it into a main […]
