Another sweet and smoky recipe? Yep! I can sweet and smoky anything - even tofu (maybe next week!) BBQ fans are loving the new BBQ Pitmasters Show on TLC and I was lucky enough to get a recipe for Chef Paul Peterson's Sweet and Smoky Ribs. New Twitter friend, Steve...
This is possibly one of the best 10 minute meals I've ever made! I'll take clams any which way (well, except rubbery overcooked) - steamed, raw, fried, smothered and creamed in soup. When I'm lucky enough to get my hands on really fresh manila clams, I always invite...
The owner of the wing joint down the street told me that their biggest day for wing sales each year is always Superbowl. People order dozens of wings, bring them to their party, but by the time they get eaten, the wings are a sad, lukewarm pile of skin, fat and bones....
I met award-winning cookbook author Virginia Willis about a month ago at IACP Portland, and within seconds of meeting, we were giggling about....oh I don't even remember! After a couple glasses of wine, chocolate bar and bite after bite of seafood cooked on...
Every cook should have a great steak topping in their repertoire. Either because you A) enjoy having a sauce smothering your steak B) want to to stretch out a piece of meat to feed the family or C) attempt cover up a botched steak job. I'm in category A, especially if...
Happy New Year! I thought I'd start the new year right with a light salad (just don't eat too many of those warm goat cheese rounds on toasted baguette, ok?!) Wishing you and your family a fun-filled, healthy and prosperous New Year! It's a brand new year and I've...

I know there are certain foods that I really shouldn't mess with, one of them being fried chicken. And after all these years of cooking, last week was the very first time that I made real buttermilk fried chicken without tinkering, gourmetizing or ethnic-tizin' with...
My husband, Scott, is a big French onion soup fan, ordering it whenever possible when we're eating out. For me, though, the traditional French version is just a little too rich, too heavy for my tastes. All this time, I thought what Scott liked about the soup was its...
One of my favorite cooking shows of all time is the original Iron Chef. No, not the modern version that plays over and over on Food Network right now, but the one taped in Japan with the silly English dubbing that always cracks me up. The episode that I drooled most...
The world has gone bacon crazy, and unfortunately it has nothing to do with the food item actually made from pork belly. I'm talking about products sold in tubes, squeeze bottles, jars, cans and tablets, all flashing the word "Bacon!" as it's only selling point and...
I know you know my friend Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, right? Of course you know her! Ree one of my fav bloggers - she's just as genuine, funny and gracious in person as she is on the blog. I've even spooned with her. I can't believe that I haven't mentioned Ree's...
Lobster is one of those foods that are too damn expensive. Where I live, a lobster is around $18.99 per pound, which is ridiculous for the amount of food you actually get from a single lobster! However, if you're calculating cost based on how LONG it takes to eat and...

In the Tampa, Florida, Summer began sometime like in March. No kidding. The season RIGHT NOW is called too "*!%!$@*$ HOT." The moment you step outside into 99.9% humidity coupled with 98F temps, you wonder why you even bothered to dry yourself after a shower. But...

Ever tried blinis? I love that word actually. It makes me want to pronounce it "buh-li-ni". Kinda like if bologna had an "i" in the middle. But then you look at it, and it's as simple as can be: blini. Like it's an app or a digital assistant. ("Blini, tell me what the...
I don't know about you, but I never go through a whole package of bacon in one sitting, especially now that my boys are out of the house. That means there's always some leftover in the package, and I often place it back in the fridge to use for later. But by the time...
