This may not be authentic, but it was good. Another perfect example of taking something good and making a pizza out of it. If you missed last weeks post, check out my “Croque Madame Pizza”. Leftover flank steak turned into another sandwich turned pizza. You could saute the veg before but I like the bite…

Croque Madame Pizza
One of my favorite sandwiches of all time is a Croque Madame/Monsieur. It is basically a fancy grilled ham and cheese. The Madame just adds a egg to the top of the Croque Monsieur. I’ve had this sandwich so many times in so many places and they all varied a bit, but they were all…
Pepperoni, Prosciutto and Pancetta Pizza
We LOVE pizza. I’ve been a little bit of a pizza snob for, oh, 20 years or so. I used to order delivery pizza once a week. Then I discovered store bought fresh pizza dough. With really good pizza dough and a pizza stone, you can make your own pizza at home with whatever toppings…
Copy Cat Mexican Pizza like from “the bell”
As a kid one of my favorite things to eat was the Mexican Pizza from that fast food restaurant with “the bell”. Crispy, savory, gooey, yummy all in a little box for ease of consumption. Having lived in Europe through high school, when we got back to the states I wan’t a Chick-fil-a sandwich and…
Pesto, Chicken, Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Pizza
I’ve been making this pizza for years. I wish I could find the recipe I used the first time but just know I didn’t come up with this one. Someone else out there on the interwebs should get the credit. The pesto as the sauce with the other ingredients makes for a nice mix up…
Healthy Mac’n Cheese – Vegetables, Tofu, Potato, Pasta and Cheese (REBOOT)
I made this before, several times in fact. Each time I’ve made it I’ve tweaked to make it better. I thought it would be good to repost/reboot it with the changes I’ve been making to make this dish even better.
Seared Scallops, Wilted Local Kale and Pecorino Romano Cheese Grits
Scallops are amazing. I’ve said before, they are the steak of the sea. They cook in no time at all and done properly, taste great. This meal was simply an excuse to eat scallops. I bought the local scallops and had no other plan than them. We got home and had some fresh local kale…
Pork Loin, Roasted Green Beans and Smashed Fingerling Potatoes with Bleu Cheese Butter
A midweek date night took us to a new local restaurant. We had a fantastic first experience at The Farehouse in Taylors, SC. The space is amazing (in an old bleachery), the drinks were perfect and food was very good. We liked it so much we went back to relive the experience but unfortunately the…
Potato Crusted Halibut, Creole Craw fish, Cucumber and Red Bean Salad with Herb Pistou
The potato crusted halibut idea came from the old show with Anne Burrell, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. The pistou came from on of my all time favorite meals (Skillet-Roasted Chicken, Farro with Acorn Squash and Kale and Herb Pistou) inspired by Sean Brocks Bon Appetit cover recipe. The craw fish (or crayfish) I bought…
The Perfect Old Fashioned Cocktail
The Old Fashioned cocktail is my favorite. I have tried it in many forms, in many bars and in many restaurants. The basic recipe is simple. Bourbon or rye whiskey, muddled sugar, bitters, a cherry (I don’t use those nasty fake red ones) and orange or lemon peel. There are lots of variables and most…
