Can we finally just acknowledge that “keto” has become a buzzword now? Can we? Please? For those like me who can’t stomach gluten at all without getting really sick, it’s at least helpful because if I see this buzzword, it means I can usually have it.

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.

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”

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”
“Steakhouse Style” Asiago Creamed Spinach
Classic. Creamy. Delicious. I made this for my company potluck this season for the first time and got a kudos from the company for it, so now I get to share how it was made. I cook a lot by taste testing, so my measurements for this recipe are not precise, but more guidelines. IContinue reading ““Steakhouse Style” Asiago Creamed Spinach”
