I don’t know about you, but I’m so over turkey for the holidays. No, that doesn’t mean I don’t like turkey, because I absolutely do — but I’m just tired of sitting around a big turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Can we do something different, please? I beg. I have the perfect recipe for you that will…

Let Betty Crocker and Walmart bless you this holiday season. Peanut butter and chocolate are the ultimate in salty/sweet. It’s been a winning combination for decades,…
Roasted Buttermilk Cornish Hens with Apple & Sausage Stuffing
Maybe you’re intimidated by the whole notion of serving a Normal Rockwell style turkey this year for the holidays. Or, maybe you just don’t have that many people to feed. Maybe you just prefer a different kind of poultry, and maybe you’d just rather dazzle your small gathering with cute, tiny wittoh itty bitty cornish…
Orange-Henny BBQ Wings

Orange and cognac go together like up and down. Like Homer and D’oh! Like bacon and eggs. It’s really a fabulously delicious pairing, and if you haven’t tried it even in drink form, you’re about to receive a blessing. I’ve basically concocted a BBQ sauce version of the nifty pairing, that seriously goes well on…
Peach-Bourbon BBQ Sauce

Peaches go with bourbon and/or whiskey very well. I know it may be the start of Fall, but I don’t care. Grilling/BBQ season is all-year round for me, I crave that smokey flavor non-stop, I don’t care how cold it gets. This is a great barbecue sauce to have on hand at all times. Can’t…
Seared Skinless Cod with Beer & Sweet Onion Sauce
Cod has always been one of my favorite proteins from the sea since I was a kid. I remember taking family trips to a now-extinct restaurant called Chesapeake Bay Seafood House, and they served this INSANELY good fried lemon-pepper cod. I got it every single dang time we went. I can literally still taste it and…

My heart breaks for folks who have seafood allergies. No, seriously. I am saddened for you guys. If you could measure seafood allergies by percentage, I myself am 5% allergic. I can eat fish, shellfish, mollusks, etc. The only thing that irritates me is the shell from shellfish itself. Like, if I were to eat…
Crispy Oven-Baked Cod with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
I’m admittedly a big kid, and maybe even a little childish when it comes to certain things. As a kid growing up, fish sticks were one of my favorite things in the world to eat. When my parents were at work, and I’d come home from school, making fish sticks in a toaster oven was…
Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
“I hate carrot cake” is often what I’m told by people who have no idea what good life is all about. A bunch of weirdos, honestly. People you just cannot trust. I mean, who in their right mind hates carrot cake? What has carrot cake ever done to you? It’s sweet, flavorful, moist, delicious, and…
Shakshuka – Eggs in Purgatory
Shakshuka is seriously one of the best culinary creations ever. Some call it “Eggs in Purgatory“, you can call it whatever you want — as long as you make it, and eat it, and hug yourself afterwards. What is Shakshuka (or Shakshouka)? It’s essentially eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. Sounds simple enough, right? It’s…
