This recipe is astonishingly easy. It's basically, salt, pepper, and chicken wings in an oven. There are some optional frills, but that's pretty much it. The tricky thing with wings is simply knowing the right temperature to cook them and how to add sauce without making them soggy. I learned a trick for adding light,... Continue Reading →
Homemade Baked and Buttery Soft Pretzels Recipe
My brother went on a trip to Germany for work and asked me to send him an email with different foods I thought he should try. I haven't been to Germany unfortunately, but I've frequented German restaurants in the U.S. enough to give him some recommendations. Among those many recommendations was to seek out authentic German... Continue Reading →
Lightly Fried and Baked Scotch Eggs Recipe
If you've ever thought about making breakfast in a more compact, portable, and delicious way, then the Scotch egg is the miracle product for you.

Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips
These blondies are probably one my favorite desserts to make at home. They're simple, easy, and absolutely fantastic. For those of you that don't know, blondies are basically a cross between a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie that takes the best of both. My friend's wife introduced me to this type of blondie when... Continue Reading →

There are many ways to make cod, whether it is pan fried, breaded, grilled, or baked. In this recipe, I've... Continue Reading →
Seafood Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers
Ok, so before I get into this dish, I will just go ahead and admit that it's a weird one. I'm not sure why I came up with it, but the idea intrigued me. I had some extra frozen scallops and shrimp that I needed to use, so I decided to try a new idea... Continue Reading →
Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Classic, no frills, pumpkin pie. I'm finally getting around to putting this recipe up and even though I made my own pie with absolutely no technical finesse (it's these big clunky man hands), that doesn't mean you can't do something pretty with this simple recipe. As far as the taste goes, I was extremely pleased... Continue Reading →
Extra Crispy Chicken Tenders
I freaking love chicken tenders. Especially dipping them in different sauces to change up their flavors. I don't know why, but I do. Frankly, I'm not sure I even need to explain myself, so take me as I am! While looking around online, I saw a baked Chicken Tender recipe that caught my eye from... Continue Reading →
Chicken Parmigiana (Chicken Parmesan)
It's time for a classic. Chicken Parmagiana (or Chicken Parmesan, however you spell it). I love this almost cliché dish. It is the guilty-pleasure touchstone upon which I judge all Italian-American restaurants. If a restaurant can't make a good chicken parm then there's something wrong. It's such a simple dish, but it is definitely one... Continue Reading →
