What could be better than tart lemon custard with fluffy and sweet meringue? Not much! Lemon meringue pie has always been my requested birthday dessert. Cake?! NO THANK YOU. I want pie! My mom didn’t really like making it, so as soon as I could use the mixer myself I would make my own—using that …
Delicious and Rich Tiramisu
This oh so yummy mascarpone custard with coffee soaked ladyfinger cookies. Even though I am part Italian and love Italian food, I never had tiramisu until I was an adult. I know, what the heck man. My favorite part is definitely the zabaione. That stuff is legendary. You can even mix it up and make …
Chicken Katsu with Curry
A super comfort food from Japan! I liked both of these dishes all ready, but combine them and it’s nuts! Two awesome foods come together to form the ultimate dinner. It can take a lot of work to do in one day, but if you have the time, it’s worth it. Or you could make …
Vegetarian Fajita Tacos or ‘Faux’jitas
These tacos have that ZING! Black beans and onions simmered in a tangy fajita sauce. Crunchy corn tortillas and fresh veggies to offset the sauce. Yummmmmmmy. I used the Frontera Classic Fajita Skillet sauce for this recipe. Now, I’m not a huge fan of flour tortillas, you will usually see me cooking with corn tortillas. …
Vegetarian Japanese Curry
Such a filling and satisfying dish, it tastes like no other curry out there. It’s definitely unique in taste. I have made it from scratch in the past, but in this recipe I will be using a store bought sauce (roux). Maybe one day I will perfect the scratch version, but it is not this …
Homemade Sloppy Joes
Like it’s name, Sloppy Joes are messy, but oh so tangy and delicious! It’s doesn’t have to be only for kids! By making it from scratch you can add some sophistication (pinky up) to this tasty simple meal. This recipe came about because I was craving Sloppy Joes and bought all the ingredients, save one. …
The Best Apple Crumble
Nothing smells quite as good as baking apples with cinnamon and sugar. It doesn’t taste too shabby either! An apple crumble is like having apple pie for breakfast. Or you could eat it as dessert, who am I to say? I love the crumbly oat topping, it’s so crunchy and sweet. Goes perfect with the …
Hearty Sausage Gravy
This recipe is so easy you could conquer it in your most brain dead or hungover state. It’s super filling and really tasty. You can control how spicy you want it. Or add other flavors like garlic powder. This gravy recipe really couldn’t be simpler. Sausage, flour, milk, and seasoning. All ingredients you would already …
Beef Stroganoff with Greek Yogurt
This version of stroganoff has ground beef and greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Best served on a bed of buttered noodles! Since I don’t eat meat too often, I usually get the “good stuff” when I do. In this recipe I used grass fed beef. I also put some aside to make a dog …
