I love a nicely seared scallop. Not only do they taste great, but they are one of those foods that are simultaneously easy to make, yet uber impressive. As such, I’m always looking for scallop recipes that I can add to my repertoire. In this recipe video, I show you how to make a a scallop and...
A good meatloaf epitomizes great comfort food, and warms my cockles (what are cockles anyway?) Paired with maybe some mashed potatoes or mac ‘n cheese, some peas or green beans for our vegetable, I’m in heaven. If the meatloaf is good. If it’s not dry, and tasteless, or mushy and gross…both if...
I remember Chicken Cordon Bleu from my childhood…but have seen it in a restaurant in the last 15 years? I don’t think I’ve seen it (outside of my kitchen) for at least decade...probably longer. Which is a bit of a shame. Yeah, chicken cordon bleu is old fashioned. And yeah, there are a lot of great...
Simple pasta dishes are a favorite for my wife and I after a long day at work. They are (by definition since I call them simple), easy to make, filling, and when you throw the right ingredients to together, very healthy. This recipe video, for Fettucini with Tomato and Olives, hits on all those...
While I never really liked Eggplant as a kid, I’ve really grown to like it over the years. I still think it’s a bit of weird vegetable…kind of like a cross between a squash and….a….sponge ? Which I know doesn’t sound appetizing, but they really are tasty. In this recipe video, I show you one of my...

In addition to great flavor, butter does add fat, which can enhance the texture, and the way food feels in the mouth. In addition to using butter in it’s natural form, you can also add in more flavor though the...
Chicken Parmesan should be a goto recipe for any home cook. It is simple to make, just about everyone I’ve ever met loves it, and of course it tastes great. It also adds another way to prepare the ubiquitous boneness skinless chicken breast, that when plainly cooked, and be just plain boring. In...
At least once a week, I try to make a fish dish, and since my wife and I both really like Halibut, it’s on the menu quite often. As such, I’m always looking for new ways to cook halibut, so I can keep it interesting. Fortunately, clean, light flavored fish (like halibut) go with a tremendous...
Getting kids more interesting in food, and in cooking, in one of my personal goals. As a child, for some unknown reason, I had an affinity for cooking, and developing those skills has given me a lot over the years. I want my daughter to have the same. I want other kids to have the same. One of my...
Autumn flavors are great flavors for me. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice…are all warm, distinct and flavorful tastes that scream Fall. Among those flavors, is of course Pumpkin. Growing up, I had one pumpkin dish a couple times a year…pumpkin pie. To that, in the last few years, I’ve added pumpkin...
