When a Simple Sandwich is Oh-So-Good

Simple hot #sandwich you can prepare at home. Cold sliced deli smoked turkey never has to be eaten on cold boring white bread. Try tossing it in a hot skillet with added #garlic #Worcestershire #rosemary #thyme and #parsley then steam #pepperjack #cheese on top with some #vodka and place it all on a toasted #panini…

Happy Father's Day!

Hi Everyone! It has been a fun-filled Father’s Day! When it comes to holidays, I really have not been one to be waited on, but to give to others. That is exactly what I did today! I had gotten up early to do some more grocery shopping. My two Sons, Mom and Step-Father, Daughter-in-law and…

Valentine's Day 2013 with Friends

Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays you either look forward too with your significant other or you dread it because you’re single. Well I’m one of those single men who try to overlook the day and wait impatiently for the 15th. This year sitting around with friends and asking them what they had planned…

It's Time to Graduate to Intense Flavors

For those who know me, if it isn’t hot & spicy enough…it’s got to be hotter and spicier. I love bold flavors when it comes to my meal. I treat red crushed pepper flakes like kids want more Lucky Charms marshmallows. Today I bring you four products from Intensity Academy. My friends, it’s time to…

Salsa Review: New Arriba Fire-Roasted Mexican Morita Salsa

When it comes to salsa I love it hot and spicy! It is an extreme rarity that I even entertain the idea of buying ‘Medium’ heat in a salsa. Saturday afternoon I had gone to my local Kroger’s store to get a few things for a dinner I was preparing. While walking the aisle, the…

Week 1 Wine Review:Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Our first wine in the series, “13 Wines in 13 Weeks” is a very fruitful Sauvignon Blanc by Veramonte from Casablanca Valley, Chile. I’ve always enjoyed a nice white wine. I was in the middle of preparing a spicy four pepper garlic shrimp pasta dish when I decided to compliment it with the Veramonte Sauvignon…

Homemade Potato Skins: We're Not Talk'n Frozen!

How any times have you gone to a steak house and ordered potato skins? Those scooped out potatos filled with cheese, bacon and chives. I think we all have from time to time. What amazes me is I enjoy eating the skin itself. I prefer them to be crispy, not soggy! Preparing potato skins as…

Teriyaki-Chipolte Steaks: Striped & Spiced!

When Sunday’s roll around what do we normally think of? For some, we get up early and head to church then race down to the nearest restaurants before the Baptists show up. I can say that because I am Baptist. 🙂 Anyway, for me I had manicured my lawn and decided it was a great…

Garlic Herb & Chipolte Sauteed Shrimp

Tonight I prepared one of my favorite dishes. My Garlic Herb & Chipolte Sauteed Shrimp. So easy to make, quick and can be used as a stand alone or add to angel hair pasta, top a nice grilled salmon or even a nice filet mignon. I’ve done them all! Oh and lets not forget jazzing…

Basil/Mushroom Grilled Sirlion

Once in a while, I’ll grill a steak or two. Usually not for me, but for others who enjoy a great cut of red meat. Over the past few years, I’ve cut back on my red meat. Honestly not sure why. I believe it’s because of my love for pasta’s and seafood. Even when I…
