What you are seeing in the pictures above, is my expeiment on pumpkin cheesecake. A freind asked for it for her birthday, so I thought I'd take a run at it. I researched several different recipes, and then I put what I liked about them in and went for it. This has all the flavors … Continue reading Pumpkin Cheesecake
What's better than tomato soup on a cold and rainy day? The problem is that the tomatoes are best in the summer when I am not interested in eating hot soup. I've developed a great recipe that allows you to make a bunch in the summer when tomatoes are at their best, and keep it … Continue reading Roasted Tomato Soup
If you haven't noticed from my past posts, I love chocolate cake of most every kind. Growing up I LOVED choolate marshmallow ice cream (and still do) so when I saw a cake version, I knew I had to try it out. I've changed it a few times but I think this version is the … Continue reading Chocolate Marshmallow cake
Here's a version that I threw together based on a couple of recipes I had been seeing. I also used the pressure cook function on my Insta Pot for the first time. I was not impressed as a slow cooker, but man this was done in 30 minutes in that thing! Call me a believer, … Continue reading Pork Carnitas
Right? Take a look at this YUMMY cake....one of the best new things I've made in quite a while. I don't bake much, mostly because I like to improvise in the kitchen, and baking does not lend itself to making stuff up as you go. That being said, I can't believe I've never made one … Continue reading Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake
Baking is something I don't do a ton of. I find it time consuming, and you have to concentrate the whole time you are doing it. Baking is also not very forgiving... if you don't get things precise you can end up with a disaster coming out of the oven. Cooking, however, you can make … Continue reading Raspberry Almond White cake
Yes, this is a thing....and it's delicious. I've seen a couple of versions all over food TV so I thought I'd make one up myself. It's something different from your everyday meatloaf, so give it a try. Plus anything is good with mac and cheese. Feel free to use your favorite BBQ sauce and mix … Continue reading Individual BBQ Meatloaves
One of my good friends had a wine tasting last weekend. I made this board for us to have some snacks during (and after!) the presentation. I really just chose things I knew most of us liked and tried to make them look interesting (and yummy) on the board. I like putting things that have … Continue reading Italian Cheese Board
I love these kinds of winter dinners....put things together early in the day, and mostly forget about it. There's not much to do to finish it up and get it on the table either. The ingredients are things I usually have hanging around, so nothing too out of the ordinary you have to go track … Continue reading Braised Beef Shanks
I'm back with another no wheat meal - Lasagna stuffed peppers. I am not usually a fan of the traditional sutffed peppers, the ones with rice and ground beef. They seem kind of boring and bland to me. I saw a version of these on Rao's social media (products from their famous New York restaurant). … Continue reading Lasagna Stuffed Peppers
