My wife loves Molly Yeh, the food tv show host. She is so cute, who wouldn’t. One of Molly’s shows featured these Kimchi Tater Tots. I didn’t watch the show but I found the recipe online and we tried it. My sauce is a little different and we air fried the tater tots but dang…

Local Shitake and Swiss Burger with Black Garlic and Soy Aioli
Who doesn’t like a mushroom and Swiss burger? This one is elevated with the black garlic and soy sauce aioli. I had never worked with black garlic myself. I’ve had it at restaurants and seen it on cooking shows but I had never even seen it in any of the stores we shop at. One…
Classic French Beef Stew
This beef stew (Boeuf Bourguignon) is the best when the weather dips down. Not only is it hearty and filling you also have the oven running for over two hours. I love the beautiful simplicity of dishes like these. The flavors are pure and so satisfying. My wife thought I should add mushrooms. Yes, that…
Double Dark Chocolate and Bourbon Cookies
My wife, knowing my how much I like dark chocolate and bourbon, purchased a cookie similar to these at one of our favorite local grocery stores. I have to say this recipe turned out great. Maybe a little over the top, but they tasted great. The Double Dark chocolate comes from the dark cocoa powder…
Healthy-ish Broccoli Cheddar Soup
There are blogs talking about broccoli Cheddar soup and how their’s is better than Panera. I don’t know how Panera make their broccoli Cheddar Soup, and I don’t know if this one is better but I can say I like mine better. It has a little bit of heat from the smoked and hot paprika…
Bacon and Mac ‘n Cheese Burger
What is better than Mac’n Cheese? Bacon? Mac’n Cheese + Bacon? How about Mac’n Cheese + Bacon on a Burger? Yes, please. We had some left over mac’n cheese. It was actually Diaya Deluxe Cheezy Mac, which is dairy and gluten free. I also used Beyond Beef for the burgers but as I quoted before…
Local Grass Fed NY Strip Steak, Roasted Fennel and Asparagus, Whipped Garlic Potatoes and Crispy Potato Skins
I saw a picture on Google images that inspired this one. It was really good but how do you go wrong with steak especially when it’s local and grass-fed. if you’re not a fennel fan you may still like this. When roasted with olive oil and salt and pepper the fennel becomes almost sweet and…
French Onion Soup Burger with Caramelized Onions, Fontina Mornay Sauce and Provolone on an English Muffin
I first saw this recipe on an Episode of Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network called Beauty and the Feast. The biggest difference I made was adding the Lipton onion soup mix to season the beef burgers. One suggestion, go easy on the seasoning with the mornay sauce as well as the caramelized onions…
Southern Comfort (Beyond ) Burger with Fried Green Tomato, Jalapeno Bacon and Lactose-free Vegan Jalapeno Pimento Cheese
One of my all-time favorite burgers from anywhere is the Southern Comfort burger from The Strip Club 104 Steakhouse (Strip as in steak) in Greer, SC. They used to do lunch on Fridays and pretty much the whole menu was burgers. They might have had a salad but I never got it. The Southern Comfort…
Pan Seared South Carolina Red Snapper, Sweet Pea Puree and Crunchy Vegetables
This was a recipe from Chef Daniele Uditi on the Tastemade channel. The “Make This At Home” show and the episode called “The Catch of the Italian Coast” (pictured below). In my case it would be called “The Catch of the South Carolina Coast”. I had some Red Snapper from Abundant Seafood and decided to…
