Cooking

Several years ago, my future wife (at the time) and I discovered this wonderfully complex and simple chicken dish.  It was rich fancy (to us at the time) and took 3 hours to cook.  We haven’t had this dish in a few years (due to the 3 hours).  We had some friends over last night [...]

That’s right.  I said it.  I had my first grill out of the year.  While it wasn’t very appetizing, it was still a grill out.  The earlier I can warm up my grilling skills for the year the better.

I posted this earlier about how I was responsible for Christmas breakfast at my house for 12 people (13 if you count the 3 month old).  The house was a zoo.  I doubled the recipe and it was the perfect amount.  My wife also put together a fresh fruit said (bananas, grapes, canned pineapples, honey [...]

I have been tasked by my favorite boss (my wife) to cook Christmas breakfast.  This year my family is celebrating Christmas at my house.  Wilie some people might see this as a burden, I see it as a blessing.  There isn’t much I enjoy more then spending quality time with my family.
My wife gave me [...]

I tried a new recipe tonight.  Chicken and Rice.  I enjoy cooking skillet based meals.  It makes me feel like I could be a real chef.  Link to Recipe.
It started off easy enough, cooking chicken in oil.  I use canola oil rather then vegetable oil.  The chicken doesn’t cook the entire way at this stage.  [...]

So Last night was taco night.  Believe it or not, it was my first time making tacos.  I’m surprized I haven’t tackled them before.  I was very surprized how easy it was:  Brown Meat, add seasoning and serve.  With only two of these we have left overs.  Any one want some?

My fie is back in town which mean I get to cook again.  It isn’t any fun cooking for myself.  Since she is still pregnant, I have to have all dishes approved.  She selected a Creamy Tomato Tortellini.  It’s a very simple dish that takes 20 minutes form gathering ingredients to the plate.  It’s not [...]
