I’ve been writing my blog for about 2 1/2 years now, I do all the things I’m supposed to. Search engine optimization, so google can find me. A newsletter to build readership. There are quite a few pieces to the puzzle, however, everything comes down to content. Is this recipe what people want? are they…

I’m a fan of meatballs, especially the small ones. Packed with flavor and so versatile. I have a few options to choose from here; turkey and Italian sausage. But, just the other day, I was presented with a new way to make them. Probably closer to true Italian style, using beef and pork. And that’s…
There’s something about stuffing that just seems to make the dish better. Maybe adding texture, flavor, color or, whatever, I just really like it. I have quite a few stuffed recipes here, the usual suspects; chicken breast, poblanos, shells and peppers, but not tenderloin. Tenderloin is called this for a reason, it’s tender and delicious,…

Dinners are important. The day is over, time to enjoy a relaxing meal. Well, that sounds nice, but usually isn’t true. The day is far from over, there’s still stuff to do. So a dinner that cooks itself would be nice, and, minimal dishes would be nice too. Now, most dinners don’t cook themselves, but,…
Bananas are good for you. I eat them every day, however the one challenge I have, is keeping them fresh. I buy them a little green so they will last longer in the kitchen, but, they seem to turn brown too quickly. Now some will extol the virtues of brown bananas, they’re sweeter etc., unfortunately…
We tend to think that sweet potato casserole is a Thanksgiving thing, well, yes, it is a Thanksgiving thing, But, it’s just as delicious on April 12th as November 24th. This particular sweet potato casserole is called easy sweet potato casserole because one evening at a friends house I was handed a couple of sweet…

I will agree, not everyone is a fan. When it comes to giblets (the parts inside the chicken), it’s either take it or leave it. Well, for those of you sitting on the fence, give it a try, you’ll be glad you did. This recipe was introduced to me by a good friend, and I…
