Strata

Strata #breakfastfordinner

Strata Most people are familiar with the word quiche. Maybe as a joke, cause real men don’t eat it. Or as a brunch staple. How can you have brunch with out the classic Quiche Lorraine. Of course I always think of the B-52s when I hear the word but that …

Final Croissant

Croissants

Probably one of my favorite things in the world is a properly made croissant. For me, it needs to be made with butter, not margarine or some other butter substitute. Only real sweet cream butter brings the proper flavor to the finished treat. Making the croissant is actually super easy …

Oak Aged Cider and Apple Sausage

This blast from the past is one of my earlier videos so the quality isn’t going to be great. But the recipe is sound and well worth the effort. If you are feeling adventurous in the kitchen, home made sausage is a great addition to any meal. Oak Aged Cider …

Apple Crisp

Apple Crisp #freshfood

Blast from the past food (that sounds weird). Anyway, this one was originally posted December 5, 2014. As the days get hotter, we could start thinking ahead to fall and cooler weather. Remember, don’t think too far ahead though. It seems like only yesterday that we had snow up to …

Turkey and Dumplings

Turkey and Dumplings Yep, it’s true. Thanksgiving hasn’t given up on us yet. Granted this is the last of the turkey for us this holiday. At my mothers it is traditional to turn the turkey into turkey and dumpling soup. Well, I had the bones this year so instead of …

Slow Roasted Turkey

Slow Roasted Turkey

Slow Roasted Turkey I subscribe to a different view of what works when you cook a turkey. I don’t bother with marinades or rubs or injecting. All this is a bit superfluous, for me and my dinner. Granted a nice rub could add some extra flavor with the method I …

Sausage and kraut

Sausage and Kraut #realfood

Sausage and Kraut I must be on a kick lately but considering we are in the fall and it is Oktoberfest time, it seems appropriate to showcase foods that fit in with the theme. (Imagine I don’t get into this kick for Thanksgiving or Christmas) If you remember, last week …
