Sloppy Joe’s are a classic, there’s nothing new here. For years it’s been a go-to easy-to-make dinner. Chop meat, the Manwich can are the main ingredients, serve on toasted buns with fries on the side. Pretty simple, totally delicious.

I love to cook on the grill. It’s not just the flavors created, but the look. Grill lines just make the dish look better. Living in an apartment makes cooking on the grill practically impossible. However, it appears there is a solution, and, I have one. A very good friend of mine gave me an…
Dark meat v’s light meat. This is a topic that has been discussed for millennia. It probably started with the first hunter gatherers, when they caught their first bird.

Roast Chicken

The lowly spud, an absolute must have for some meals, versatile as you’ll get, and can be a meal in itself. So today we’ll cook double baked potato with ham and feta, and it is good! Serve as a side, or, if the potato is big enough, as a meal. I like to pair it…
Cauliflower can be a little bland, but does have a distinctive flavor, it works well in a dish as an ingredient. Try Red Lentil Cauliflower Curry, it’s good. However as a side, it needs a little coaxing. So for that we’ll use the oven and some cheese and make baked cauliflower with Parmesan, it’s delicious…
