How to Cook Fiddleheads

A very exciting event occurred a few evenings ago. As I was driving down the road, I saw a sign in front of one of the neighbor’s houses that read, “Fiddleheads – $3.” Translated, this means that someone was selling the coiled bases of the ostrich fern for $3 per pound. I bought three pounds. […]

Penne Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Garlic & Capers Recipe

There used to be a huge Italian restaurant a few towns away from the town I grew up in. This place was enormous and it served primarily family style Italian dishes. When I say family style, I mean, for something like $13, they served an entire skillet full of the best pasta and sauce I’ve […]

Pan-Roasted Cod with Oregano & Kalamata Olives Recipe

When I first found and read through this recipe, I didn’t think it was more than any other fish dish I’ve recently prepared. Now that I’ve been cooking for a few years, I feel as though I have some experience with this type of thing. I will tell you though, as I was eating this […]

Creamy Melted Leek Ziti Recipe

I seem to have stumbled across a whole bunch of pasta recipes that are prepared in cast iron skillets. I love these types of dishes because they’re so easy to put together. Pasta dishes, soups, casseroles – I just can’t get enough. Today’s recipe is another easy, but really good one. It’s made with ziti […]

Yesterday, I decided to buckle down and make these little pieces of heaven. If I had to guess, I would say the biggest obstacle for me was the […]

Asparagus with Egg Salad & Toasted Sesame Vinaigrette Recipe

I have a really nice side dish for you today. It’s a simple recipe that’s fairly straightforward to read though. I found this one on another food blogger’s website that I’ll tell you about below. The owners of this site have really been stepping things up and I decided to check out what they’re doing […]

Broccoli Mac & Cheese Gratin Recipe

You know what I haven’t had in a long time? A nice big bowl of mac and cheese. That’s what. I’ve been craving mac and cheese for the longest time and just yesterday I made a huge cast iron skillet of some. Boy did that hit the spot. This is one of those dishes that’s […]

Cast Iron Skillet Butterscotch & Pecan Cake Recipe

I think I’m getting hooked on desserts, which is something I should consider carefully. It’s just that the desserts I’ve been making recently are so good. First it was the chocolate snockers cake and now it’s the butterscotch and pecan cake. These things are pretty much out of this world and I think I’m going […]

Chocolate Snockers Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream & Pecans Recipe

I have a long list of incredible looking desserts to prepare this year, but I’m finding that sometimes time just gets in the way. I think nice sunny afternoons are the best for making something delicious, but afternoons that are empty are quite difficult to come by. Basically, I save the more challenging desserts for […]
