For whatever reason I have been on a soup kick lately. I think it is the fact that it is getting cooler out now and I am looking for something warm and filling. This soup is exactly that. It took about 90 minutes to make including all the chopping. If you have that much time [...]

Cornbread
Along with the brisket that we had for dinner, we also had cornbread. Cornbread is one of those foods that takes no time at all to make. I actually think it took me longer to find a recipe I wanted to use than it did to mix up the ingredients.
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking [...]
Beef Brisket
When I have a hankerin’ for BBQ, it usually has nothing to do with ribs. What I am looking for is brisket. Up until this point, brisket was served at a few BBQ restaraunts but I had never tried to make it. The problem, I thought, was that brisket needed to be smoked and living [...]
Spice Cake
This was a very simple cake to make. The preparation took only a couple minutes. I was looking for a simple cake that didn’t need to be frosted. I am not very good at frosting anything. As you can see, I am barely any good at spreading a glaze over the top.

Rotini with Three Cheeses
This recipe was what I would call a good try but not quite right. The recipe was probably doomed from the beginning. The heavy cream that was destined to be used here was bad and so it was replaced with skim milk (the only milk we had in the house). Now, normally I would say [...]
Italian Spaghetti Sauce
I think everyone has their go to recipes. My wife and I have a go to recipe for spaghetti sauce that came from her mom. This is NOT that recipe. I wanted something different and what better way to experiment with food than to make A GALLON of spaghetti sauce. After all, that much spaghetti sauce [...]
Tater Tot Hotdish
This is the epitome of an old fashioned meal at home: a hot dish. The ingredients are simple and there were plenty of leftovers for the week. This meal took about an hour to make and running the oven was perfect for heating up the house now that it is getting cooler.
Just for the record, [...]
Bacon and Onion Muffins
There were two schools of thought in my house when I brought up the idea of bacon and onion muffins. The first was that these would be the greatest invention ever. The second was that I was crazy.
I have to admit they were not exactly what I had expected. However, the bacon and onion flavor [...]
Ground Beef Barbecue
We wanted to try something a little different than the typical can of barbecue mixture and pound of ground beef for our barbecue sandwiches. I found this recipe in one of the many recipe files that I keep on my computer. The recipe calls for using a slow cooker and letting the meat cook for several hours but we [...]
