Stuffed Swiss Chard
Originally published on September 6, 2014 Typically when I buy Swiss chard, I cut the tough stems off, chop it all up, and throw it into a skillet with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. When I saw it staring up at me from my shopping cart this week though, I wanted to do something different […]
Veggie Burgers
Originally published on September 8, 2014 Let’s be real for a minute. I’m a carnivore at heart. I love bacon and sausages, steak, and there’s little that I find as tasty as a really delicious burger. I’ve eaten veggie burgers too, but those are usually reserved for restaurants or the frozen food aisle at the grocery store. That […]
Chardonnay Ham
Originally published on September 9, 2014 My mom inspires a lot of my recipes.

How to REALLY Barbecue Ribs
Originally published on September 13, 2014 I’ve always stayed away from putting ribs on the barbecue because whenever I did it, the flames would burn the outside in minutes, leaving me with a tough bark that coated reallytough meat, or that left the meat inside still very close to raw. But this summer was different. This summer I […]
Stuffed Meatloaf
Originally published on September 15, 2014 I love my job. I work at a small restaurant here in town, and it’s not only a lot of fun, I also learn an immense amount about food while I’m there. I work under a great sous chef who recognizes my enthusiasm for cooking and he’s always asking […]

And, I don’t know, lately I’ve really been appreciating the cauliflower and all the comfort that it brings. That’s especially true when it’s […]
