During the holidays we tend to think of things like ham and turkey, and we don’t really think much about pork chops. After all, pork chop recipes aren’t all that common around the holidays, are they? No, we don’t often bust out our favorite pork chop recipes this time of year, but right now we […] More

There’s cheesecake, and there is New York style cheesecake. Cheesecake is good. It’s delicious and it tastes wonderful and there is nothing wrong with it. But it’s not the real stuff when you compare it to a real New York style cheesecake. There is nothing like the rich flavors, the decadent taste and the sheer […] More

French toast is a breakfast staple in so many people’s homes, and it’s because it’s so delicious. It’s especially delicious for those who want to wake up on a holiday morning and have a simple, yet decadent, breakfast waiting on them. Since Christmas is just around the corner, we thought we’d offer you one of […] More

Would you just die of shock knowing that not everyone is fan of the slow cooker?

If we are honest here – and we can be honest here – those of us who adore hummus usually take the cheap way out and buy our own. I mean, who has time to make hummus when someone else at the deli/bakery section of your favorite supermarket already did all the work for you? […] More

There is something magical about this time of year; the time when the holiday lights begin the glow, the sun sets early and the desire to bake comes out in full force in kitchens everywhere. There’s something so comforting about baking during the holidays. Perhaps it’s the smell of baked goods that takes us back […] More

If my mom spent more time in the kitchen with me growing up, perhaps I wouldn’t be a miserable cook who does more harm than good when it comes to feeding my family. Seriously, when eating the fat-filled fast food at McDonalds that even ants won’t touch is a safer option than putting me in […] More

Time is absolutely of the essence. It doesn’t matter if you have a job, kids, a spouse, a home, a mixture of all of those or just one or two; there never seems to be enough time in the day to accomplish everything that needs accomplishing, and that’s a shame. The biggest shame is that […] More

It’s cold, which means there is nothing more satisfying or appropriate than a steaming hot bowl of chili.
