Ever since I was introduced to the Nashville Hot Chicken, it was a game changer. I’ll admit, I didn’t actually get it in Nashville, but I did get it from a reputable source – Hattie B’s in Alabama. I needed to re-create a hot chicken recipe. I needed that overdose of cayenne in […]

The pizza pie is a staple in most households. It’s so easy to order up cheesy, doughy delight – hell, they’ll even bring it to you. But there’s a satisfaction when you do it yourself. Even when you fail (which you’ll see today). I bought a ‘dough kit’ and after watching a YouTube

Ah yes – Spring has sprung. Well, kind of. By the time it actually springs, it’s summer and then winter is right around the corner. That’s the midwest for you. Anyway, Zach said he had some meats that needed out of the fridge, Doug was on dad-detail – so it was time to
