This is not going to be everyone's favorite food, but I think it is a really interesting and good tasting snack! Chickpea pancackes (as I call them, the Italians call it torta di ceci) are really popular snacks in the beach towns in Tuscany where I lived as a child. They serve them on ...
Ok this is not actually traditional limoncello. Real limoncello is made from grain alcohol and with Sorrento lemons from Italy. I used vodka and California lemons, but the result was great to me! Below is the recipe I got from Saveur magazine. The only difference in the one I made was that I ...
This is a really easy recipe that produces delicious results. You will need to use baby artichokes, which are just small but fully grown versions of the vegetable. Trim the artichokes by cutting off the bottom of the stems and the pointy tops of the artichoke. Then pull off the outer ...
So this is a big moment for me. This is the first time I've (successfully) made a meal from a blog. A couple weeks ago Erin gave me the skinny on all the cool food blogs she reads. Despite the heavy meat usage, I fell in love with Blue Kitchen. I saw his post on a distinctly Roman dish ...
OK, although I'm posting this you have to realize that it is pretty much highway robbery. Every item in this meal comes directly from Kathy's paternal grandparents, Jewel and Lester Reeves, channeled through Kathy. I don't think that I ever had catfish until we started dating, but it didn't ...
If you are familiar with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you may better understand the name of these delicious nuggets of 'green vegetable' surrounded by pork fat!! There is this standard recipe among hunters that any game recipe that has cream cheese and is wrapped in bacon is 'the

Living in the south, there are some things that are just 'in your genes' and fried anything certainly is in that category, along with saying ya'll, and drinking Dr. Pepper and 'swe-eat tea'! For those unlucky people who have never experienced these southern delights, they may seem over rated, ...
We all think of getting a pizza as the quick and easy way to get dinner done when your craving some cheesy goodness. In this March of eating in, however, that's not an option. So Erin and I figured, what the hell, lets make it ourselves. After all there's a pizza place on every corner, ...
So lets face it.. sometimes you just don't have time to cook some big grand meal. Sometimes your busy and you just need to EAT! This of course doesn't mean you need to eat out of a bag of chips or something. This meal takes a minute and will satisfy your hunger and you will not feel like ...
Now before you start reading (and if you didn't catch the drift from the title of this post), this is a meaty dish. As in, all meat aside from the tortilla, so you'd better like sausage! Now with that said, I'm really not a huge sausage person, but when I came back from Texas, I found myself ...
