Happy Monday, Y’all! There is a lot going on in this one. We have greens. We have fruit. We have starches. So, what do we need? Baby kale (or regular kale), garlic, bell peppers, small potatoes, shallots, and plums and pears. The original recipe called for persimmons but I couldn’t find them anywhere. […]

Now, I try to keep a finger on the pulse of the fan favorites – especially when it comes to mex/texmex food. You know this is accurate because of my duplicate TB Mexican Pizza post. It’s hard to judge, but the “cheesy gordita crunch” may have the “mexican pizza” beat regarding popularity. So

Hey y’all! My upcoming posts will be sporadic and there will be a span of several weeks where I will not be posting. On March 1 I awoke to severe, radiating, spasming pain down my left arm. It wouldn’t stop. Mr. FBBQ had to rush me to the emergency room. Turns out I

Gimme a holiday where the brisket sits front and center and I’ll show you a post. I do enjoy some corned beef. Breakfast? Corned Beef Hash reigns supreme. A nice corned beef/pastrami sandwich is hard to beat. Up until today, I’ve never really done a real corned beef post. There was the corned

Hey y’all! So I have posted this recipe before. Which I didn’t realize until I was making it. But that’s ok! Let’s see where we end up the second time around! Let’s get started! We need some pasta, kale (or in this case baby spinach and baby kale), garlic, avocado, lemon, some little

This one is way out of left field for me. I don’t enjoy chickpeas, I’ve never liked chickpeas. You know what else I don’t like? Hummus. So why would I even try to make falafel? It’s what I do here. I had leftover rice and sauce from that banger of a combo platter

Hey there everyone!! This dish is so versatile!! Even the name leaves it open to interpretation. You can use any grains. And any vegetables. I opted for brown rice and the cooked lentils from last week’s post (which I actually made the day before this one). I also decided against the tomatoes (as

So once upon a time, I used to travel to Chicago quite often for work. Enjoyed many an establishment in the Windy City, but the one we’re talking about today is Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap. I originally went to try their Chicken Wing challenge (you know me, I gotta have that super hot

Happy Monday y’all!! This post was pretty simple. You will see I bought the family size baby spinach/baby kale. It was cheaper to buy that one than the regular size. Kind of a mistake though. I barely used any of it. Spoiler alert: this dish was not one of my favorites. I ended

I could’ve sworn I made a rice pudding post. I know I’ve made it before, just don’t know why I haven’t shared it with you. Either way, doesn’t matter because you’re getting one now. After last week’s combo platter and next week’s leftover (spoiler), I needed a little bit of sweet. But to
