Its Been Awhile

Hello everyone! Since I see its been almost a year since our last post it may be time to get things going again. Since last October, life has brought us to Minneapolis, MN and I (Richard) have loads of time on my hands as Wendy brings home the bacon. What else to do but cook it? I must say I have tried many new things, such as risotto, roast chicken, as well as gone off on a frying tangent (fried oreos are a mans best friend). The point of this post is to say hello, we didn't totally forget about this thing and hope some of you still want to read about our culinary adventures. This week I have planned homemade chili powder, a Quiche Lorraine and a whole duck. I will get to cooking and return with the results! Until then, were back :)

A Little Pita Awesomeness

By
Hello everyone again! I have to quickly share this recipe with you if your in the mood for a little Mediterranean goodness. I came up with this a few months ago and I think you should try it, its just a simple pita with grilled chicken in it. All you do is marinate a chicken breast with some olive oil (say, quarter cup), salt, pepper and maybe a tablespoon of dried oregano. Grill this up (the BBQ makes a difference) and cut it into pieces. Throw it in the warmed pita with whatever you want! I like onions, hummus and some feta cheese. Wendy likes to add grilled bell peppers as well. Give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Boston Baked Beans

By
In my last post about refried beans I mentioned the flexibility of dried beans and the heavenly heights they can be brought to. Baked beans were given as an example along with a promise to suggest a recipe in the future. I was recently reminded of writing this by a friend along with a (strong) request to follow up on my promise, so here it is! Baked beans are one of those perfect outdoor, summer side dishes that enhance any grilled food. If your like me and think potato salad is the work of satan or are simply out of ideas about what side dish to serve to a BBQ, these are a wonderful treat. Plus you'll always get lots of ooohh's and ahhh's as your guests envy your mad cooking abilities, creating something that they forgot can be found outside of a can. Here is the recipe. Its takes a while but very simple and very much worth it. Baked Beans Ingredients * 2 cups dried navy beans (using canned defeats the whole purpose) * 1/3 pound bacon * 1 onion, fi...

Alright you breakfast haters...

By
Enough are the days where breakfast is the forgotten meal. I am catering this blog to those of you who think breakfast food simply consists of bland dull cereal that looks like it could have come from a cement truck, and to those who won't give the most important meal of the day credit for what it truly is: good eats! I have a husband who only eats oatmeal plain (no water added), only has cereal with a very small amount of milk, and who would prefer to eat chocolate chip cookies instead of Kashi fiber cereal. So I have had to come up with some ways to make breakfast appealing to him! And I think I have been successful. Try these three recipes, and I am confident that even the most stubborn breakfast hater will be converted. Chocolate Chip Muffins (12 servings) 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup light brown sugar (any type of brown sugar will work) 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup milk 1/2 cup butter--melted and cooled 2 eggs beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla ...
