For when you’re looking for something to grill on the BBQ or trying to use that specialty piece of equipment in the back of tour pantry.
It has been a week of salmon burgers! They’re one of my favorite things to make on the barbecue and we are in the very last throes of grilling season. I can’t believe that fall is almost upon us! Pretty soon the leaves will be […]
Yesterday I made Barbecue Salmon Burgers w/ Tartar Sauce & Tomatoes. So, naturally, the next morning I’m in the mood for salmon burgers with a runny egg. I’m a big fan of eggs on burgers. Even for dinner, I’ll slather an egg on top of […]
It is Labor Day weekend. What is the good old fashioned mid-Western thing to do? Obviously I am barbecuing and making burgers! I’ve recently acquired a barbecue and am taking any opportunity to use it. I don’t eat that much meat, though. So, my go-to […]

I almost never make rice in my rice cooker. Ironically enough, quinoa and lentils cook up much better and are far easier meals to toss together. Rice often ends up too thick or thin, too moist or dry, and just relatively unpleasant. Part of the […]
I adore macaroni and cheese. It’s simple enough to make from scratch and I absolutely make it far more than I probably should! But sometimes you do just want to consume your body weight in cheese and pasta. My biggest problem with this is that […]
