Balsamic Marinade / Dressing
I love to use this on chicken. I’ll marinade chicken in this and then when I go to cook the chicken, take the leftover marinade and cook it down with some grape tomatoes and top with mozzarella cheese and put that on top of the cooked chicken for a delicious caprese-style chicken. This makes aContinue reading “Balsamic Marinade / Dressing”
Citrus Honey Chicken Marinade
This marinade goes great with bird meats: chicken, game hens, turkey…. We use it on various chicken cuts throughout the year and it helps the meat retain moisture while cooking. As with all of my marinades, these are ratios that can be adjusted or saved for later. Marinade anywhere from a half hour to overnight,Continue reading “Citrus Honey Chicken Marinade”
Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp? Good. Pasta? Good. White wine garlic sauce? GOOOD. If you’ve been following this blog or really any of my cooking, I think you’re discovering my secret to things that smell and taste good: lots of seasoning, salt, fat, and caramelized onions and garlic. On that note, one of my favorite food docu-series is calledContinue reading “Shrimp Scampi”
Egg Breakfast Cups
Muffin tin? Check. Eggs? Check. Ham? Check. Shredded cheese? Also check. These are very easy to make, and can make your morning routine (or whenever you want a portable meal) easier and faster if you make these in advance. I have typically filled up the whole muffin tin, and would reheat two of these forContinue reading “Egg Breakfast Cups”
Crispy Chicken with Sweet Caramelized Onion Cream Sauce
This is one of the few recipes I’ve actually used sugar in. Sorry, not exactly low-carb, unless you have a good sugarlike substitute at the ready and are willing to risk it. Or you just omit the sugar and just enjoy the caramelized onion cream sauce. Whichever suits your fancy. Sugar or not, I reallyContinue reading “Crispy Chicken with Sweet Caramelized Onion Cream Sauce”
French Onion Soup Chicken
It’s rich. It’s got a little crunch. It’s highly addictive. It’s… french onion soup chicken?? When you boil it down, it’s almost like a chicken parmesan atop of a reduced french onion soup recipe, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t absolutely delicious. I like it because it combines my love of French Onion SoupContinue reading “French Onion Soup Chicken”
Caramelizing Onions
Now this isn’t a recipe per se, but this will be created as a reference point for my other recipes, as I tend to do this a lot in my own cooking. It’s one of my favorite parts of a recipe and once it’s done, I can honestly just eat this by itself because it’sContinue reading “Caramelizing Onions”
Braised Pork Belly
It’s fatty. It’s meaty. It’s soft. It’s delicious. And if you’re not careful, you’ll eat a lot of it in one sitting. If you want to do this right, it’s going to take a couple days’ worth of prep time, which is why this is one of the more complex recipes that I make. ThisContinue reading “Braised Pork Belly”
Homestyle Tomato Sauce
This is one of those “old world” recipes you’ll find on this blog. I love to cook what I call “low and slow” which allows flavors to mellow and come together to create something wonderful and delicious. The ingredients are simple; the history is long and profound. Most red sauces you’ll see have most ofContinue reading “Homestyle Tomato Sauce”
