We live about five or six blocks from the neighborhood Greek restaurant, and I’d say we are pretty regular customers. But sometimes I’m in the mood to eat Greek food, but I’m not interested in dining in a restaurant or even carryout. So I guess that means that if my wife and I want to […]
Thai-Style Basil Chicken
For years I have assumed that Thai Basil Chicken was too complicated a dish to make at home. Especially for me, someone with zero experience with Thai cuisine. But after finding a local Thai restaurant in a food hall in Atlanta, and ordering a delicious bowl of Thai Basil Chicken, I noticed that there really […]
Nashville Hot Chicken
It’s been a few years now since I first posted my fried chicken recipe, which I usually cook in coconut oil, but I wanted to start fresh with an updated recipe for a spicy Nashville hot chicken recipe, cooked in either coconut oil or avocado oil. **Don’t care about story time? Go straight to the […]
Pork Guisado
Gotta hand it to Houston, perhaps the most diverse restaurant scene in all of America. It might be debatable, but definitely in the running. Which means that when my wife and I want to try something new, there are literally hundreds of restaurants with flavors from all over the world to choose from. **No interest […]
Fresh Einkorn Flour Pasta
I’ve read all the books about how evil flour and gluten are, and I think I even buy in to some of it. But not entirely. Besides, sometimes a guy just wants to sit down with a big bowl of fresh pasta and enjoy the moment, maybe with a glass of wine, and some good […]
Pork Shoulder In The Oven
For years, my daughter has insisted that she doesn’t like pulled pork butt. At all. It’s gross. And for even longer, my son has begged me to make as much as much slow roasted pork shoulder as humanly possible, so he can keep shoving it down his gullet, because there is no such thing as […]
How To Cook A Boneless Beef Rib Roast
I’ve long ago given up on trying to make myself feel bad for enjoying a big fat steak or a boneless beef rib roast on a not too-regular basis. I love the taste, the texture, and from what I have been reading lately, I love how healthy beef can be for me! **Not looking for […]
Coconut Oil Fried Chicken
I’ve always loved a good fried chicken recipe, sometimes I’m even pretty happy with bad fried chicken. But up until my late thirties or early forties, I would have laughed at anyone suggesting that I fry my chicken using coconut oil. But look at me now. Canola oil is gone. So is my old vegetable […]
Pan Roasted Potatoes On The Stovetop
Pan roasted potatoes don’t get much easier… chop up your favorite taters plus a little bit of oil and butter, salt and pepper, toss them into your seasoned cast iron skillet or nonstick pan and that’s about it. You can certainly dress it up a bit more if you like, but straight up pan roasted […]
Breaded Pork Patties
I guess this breaded pork patties recipe falls into the comfort food category for some people, probably very similar to pork chops many of you have grown up with. There’s nothing too tricky here, just be willing to make a very small mess in the kitchen and you should be ready to go. **Skip the […]
