Can you believe Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner? If you’ve been keeping up on the latest food blog postings, you probably already picked up on the trend of latest Mexican inspired meals. My tacos aren’t trendy but they are delicious! I actually wasn’t sure if tacos were really Mexican or another American […]
Is everyone as excited about grilling as I am? The weather is warming up and so is my grill. I love to grill so much so, that poor McGyver has slowly been cut off from the job. I couldn’t help myself, there is just something about standing next to the grill, drinking a beer and […]
Meatloaf can be boring and mundane unless you are a Rockstar named Meatloaf. Some of us grew up eating meatloaf or “meat surprise” as we called in grade school. A slice of some kind of meat topped with ketchup served on a tray with instant mashed potatoes and green beans. The only thing that could […]
I mentioned during this post that I was lucky enough to deploy to Tunisia while I was in the Air Force. It was a joint Medical operations. We flew down from RAF Lakenheath, UK in the not so comfortable jump seats in the back of a cargo plane. Our mission: To share/exchange some of our […]
What a deal! I scored a nice piece of cod for $8, reduced more than 50%. Wow did I feel lucky! Timing is everything. Scoring a great deal on a nice piece of cod, my mind could not help to think of fish and chips. I wanted a nice beer battered piece, deep fried to […]
Can you believe, me the ultimate beef lover, has never ever tasted or cooked a flat iron steak before? I know, I know, everyone else has. Where have I been, out in the pasture with cows? It was high time that I put an end to this situation. When my grocer had them on special […]
McGyver sat me down last Saturday and said, “I need to lose some weight and I’m going to start Monday, right after the Super Bowl.” He told me this after I already made the menu for the week, after I just finished grocery shopping. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally supportive, more than supportive. I […]
I have to admit that I actually made this dish more than 6 months ago, I didn’t post it for what ever reason. I guess it just wasn’t it’s time. When the Baby boy suggested that I make pulled pork sandwiches for the upcoming Super Bowl, I remembered this fabulous recipe for pulled pork and […]
The Baby boy loves chicken skin, really crispy chicken skin. He also loves lemon. I wanted a special meal for him once he came from the hospital. Not that the hospital food was all that bad, as a matter of fact the only bad food he had was the crispy chicken. Which wasn’t crispy and […]
Meet the cook, my husband McGyver. One of my goals this year was to “let go”, in other words, get out of the kitchen and let McGyver cook (he knows how too, quite well in fact). McGyver has been chomping at the bit to make me one his specialty dishes he used to make all […]
