There's a really simple difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage pie and I won't even drag out the lukewarm mystery until the end of the post to make you read the whole thing! It just comes down to what kind of ground meat you use. Shepherd's Pie is traditionally made with ground lamb while it's... Continue Reading →
I am not a chili purist that touts one kind of chili over another, but rather I enjoy all kinds of chili. I've even featured a couple of different chili recipes such as my Lean Beef Chili with Beans and Corn or my White Bean and Chicken Chili. Nonetheless, there are those among us that...

Every now and then I try something out in the world that inspires me to try replicating it at home. That was the case with a roast beef sandwich from a local deli I've been a little obsessed with. They make their own roast beef in-house and it's just excellent. Normally, I don't really care... Continue Reading →

They're pretty good that way, but it's really just heating them up, so the only real... Continue Reading →
I'm fascinated with the idea of being able to make any food at home. For example, in a post-apocalyptic world that still has electricity, but where bacon is illegal, would I be able to make it myself from scratch? Now I know that the answer is probably, "yes!" Before discovering that I could make bacon,... Continue Reading →
Fried chicken is one of the simple pleasures of life made immortal by almost every culture with access to chicken. They all do it a little different, but they're almost always delicious. The biggest differences usually involve the style of breading, seasonings, and occasionally the frying method. Simple is usually best, but when going for maximum crispiness... Continue Reading →
Real, authentic Italian lasagna is made with a creamy bechamel sauce as is the Italian dish called "Pasticcio" (which translates to "mess" apparently!). The delicious red-sauce version of lasagna we have in America is great, but it's not the same as what the rest of the world usually eats. Italy, however, isn't the only place... Continue Reading →
