Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
Whether you call them Meatloaf Drumsticks or Meatloaf Lollipops, they are mini meatloaves on sticks. I used to make a version of these Barbecue Meatloaf Drumsticks when I was in elementary school from a recipe I found in one of my childhood cookbooks. I can still see the black and white illustration of how the […]
My husband has become obsessed with the Korean dish Bulgogi, specifically Bulgogi Sauce. I happened to pick up a large jar of bulgogi sauce on sale at an international market in Atlanta last year. My intention was to just try it and see how it compared to the authentic Korean restaurants’ bulgogi. It turns out […]
Y’all! I can not even describe how much I enjoyed the Char Siu pork that I made the other day. The mixture of sweet and savory hit just the right note for this perfectly cooked pork. Seriously, eating it was euphoric! Unfortunately, my sad picture does not come remotely close to doing the dish justice. […]
Inspired by KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), I ventured into making a rarity at my house, fried chicken. As we are currently having a pandemic, I was only able to get chicken wings from the store. So, fried chicken wings with an Asian-ish glaze was born and it has been a hit. I went from not […]
Grilled Sweet Tea Pork Chops with Spiced Peaches may be the epitome of summer in the South. The sweet tea brine results in flavorful and tender chops. The brine also makes the pork chops easier to grill without drying them out. Grilled Sweet Tea Pork Chops are easy to make, but they do require a […]
One of my daughter’s favorite foods is al fresco’s Wild Blueberry Chicken Sausage. We first discovered it in a local grocery store and purchased it regularly until they stopped carrying that flavor. The company’s website indicated that they no longer sell the wild blueberry flavor in our area or even our region of the United […]
I am the first to admit that I am spoiled. After eating Woody’s Crab House crab cakes over the years, I find that I am intolerant of the crab cakes that most places serve. I understand that there are other places in the Baltimore region that make their crab cakes in a similar manner to Woody’s […]
My daughter kept asking me for coconut shrimp like she had eaten somewhere with her dad. She had raved about the coconut shrimp following a father/daughter dance, so I assumed that was what she was referring to and that it was fried coconut shrimp. Well, I found out that I was wrong after she ordered […]
It is a little ironic that I really dislike “baked” steak, but I love a tomato based Swiss steak. They both are long cooking steaks, but usually differ in texture and definitely differ in flavor. Baked steak to me was either a “cube steak” or its thicker and differently tattooed cousin, the “bake steak.” Both of […]
When you think about Italian cuisine meatloaf probably does not come to your mind at all. However, the Romans are credited with being the first to mix chopped meat with filler (and wine) back in the 5th century. Thus, the argument could be made that they are responsible for the later development of meatloaf. The […]
