Eating Turkey Parts
Yesterday, I wrote about how I bought a whole turkey on sale, but only needed the turkey breast. Well, waste not want not, or as my mom always told me growing up, ‘don’t waste food, there are a lot of starving people in China.’
So what to do with the rest of the bird?
I see folks eating [...]
Succulent Turkey Breast
Love turkey breast, don’t like how dry it can be….. Friends gave us a recipe that promised a juicy breast without much work. Back over the holidays I bought a whole turkey on sale and kept it frozen. I decided now would be a good time to try this recipe.
I defrosted the whole turkey and then [...]
Home-Fried Potato Chips
The shear slicing power hooked us. At the NC State Fair, probably almost twenty years ago, my wife and I stopped by a demonstration of a slicer that was slicing all sorts of vegetables. Maybe we were hungry, but I ended up forking over the $20 or so for this super duper plastic mandolin.
Honestly for [...]
No Knead Bread
In continuing to strive for an old world loaf of bread that is chewy and has holes in it, just like ciabatta. I have found another procedure from a baker in New York city.
It involves a lot of time, a lot of time waiting, not much time actually preparing. The water to flour content is [...]
Easy Grilled Lobster
The Valentine’s menu that I typed up listed “Grilled Lobster”. Sounds fancy doesn’t it? Well, after all, I wanted to make a nice dinner for my Valentines. (Wife and daughter of course)
Here’s the sneaky secret, grilled lobster is easier to cook than a medium rare steak. I found 4 ounce lobster tails on sale and bought some. [...]
Creamy Smooth Homemade Hummus
After starting to make hummus at home last year, I feel like I can make a pretty decent batch. There is one thing that bothers me though, I can’t get homemade hummus to be smooth and creamy like store bought hummus. I have been comparing mine to Sabra and couldn’t get close to how creamy smooth theirs is.
After [...]
Cracking Crab Legs
I ran to the garage and started digging through my toolbox. My toolbox is kind of messy, but I found them…a pair of pliers. I was hungry and decided that a pair of pliers would help me eat my dinner. The pliers worked well but therewas another thing I needed also. After getting our kitchen [...]
Cheaper Than Take Out
I bought a large take and bake pizza that was on sale. It was cheese only and the price was $7. This 16″ pizza is pretty good, but I decided to upgrade. So at the store yesterday, I bought some pepproni, Canadian bacon, canned pineapple, black olives, and onions.
My family has different topping favorites, so [...]
Spiced Up Mac & Cheese
My wife made some good comfort food last night, with the homemade macaroni and cheese being the star. She stove-tops it with bow-tie pasta, sharp cheddar cheese, milk, butter, and a little salt. She adds salt to taste when the mac is on her plate. Since I like to try to keep an eye on my [...]
Homemade French Onion Soup
The stringy provolone cheese and soup soaked croutons are a couple of reasons I like French Onion Soup. Those soups at restaurants are awfully salty, so we decided to make our own. I use 50% reduced sodium beef broth and only add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the soup. The result is a tasty [...]
