Super Quick Treat For Super Bowling

It’s time for the big game! This little treat is a great appetizer that a friend made and brought to a party of mine a few years ago. Ever since I’ve been taking it as my go-to quick and easy appetizer. The recipe below makes 16 but it’s very very easy to double, triple, or […]

Bacon, In Cupcake Form

You knew it was coming. Because we’re a food blog with bacon in the title. Because everything is better with bacon. Because we can! Last week marked the birthday of Miss Kitty, a fabulous Denver rock and roller. In celebration, I made cupcakes which were sent to a show her band played that night. I […]

Let’s Get Baked…Zucchini

I try to eat healthy, really I do. And for a girl who loves bacon and could eat it with every meal this can sometimes be tricky. (Note: 2 slices of bacon are only 90 calories so shut it). Often, when I’ve been going out to eat a lot or eating a bunch of fried […]

Old Bread, New Life

Breadcrumbs are super easy to make and have on hand for the next time you need ’em. I tend to make up a batch every time I have a few extra pieces of bread in a loaf that’s getting old or is crusty. Also French Bread loaves make delightful crumbs!

Spare A Rib Or Two

I was cooking for men. I needed to make man-shaped foods to feed manly menfolk. What’s manly? Ribs! What’s more manly than ribs? Ribs drowned in beer! I made these with my own BBQ sauce, which is pretty tangy. The great thing about making your own sauce is that you can make it to your […]

Crisper Drawer Ham & Black Eyed Pea Stew

Who snagged the ham bone after this year’s Christmas dinner? This girl. Traditionally a lot of folks prefer to make some version of split pea soup, but I decided to make something I call “Crisper Drawer Stew.” What exactly is in Crisper Drawer Stew? It’s not quite everything but the kitchen sink…it’s actually all the […]

Holly Jolly Southern Holiday

I trust not everyone is recovered from this years holidays. And if you are, it’s just in time for New Years so we can start the recovery process all over again! I come from a long line of Georgia women. And nothing says “Georgia at Christmas” like pecan pie. The recipe below is inspired by […]

Stew + Pie Crust = Pot Pie?

I love pie crusts, as you may have noticed. And I welcome any excuse to put dinner inside of one. So I decided I would make a cioppino-inspired stew but with less fish and baked inside a pie crust. So it was to be a seafood pot pie of sorts…

Banishing Breakfast Routines

I often fall into routines when it comes to making and eating breakfast at home. During the week I eat a bagel or a banana every morning. When I’m out of fruit or on the go I’ll have a Luna bar. If I have enough time I might fry up two pieces of bacon and […]

Freezing Outside, Hearty & Warm Inside

It’s been f-ing cold in Denver. Single digits, negative temperatures, wind. And to make this cold snap even more delightful, there is no heat in my house. Apparently there is a problem with the boiler and they’re “working” to get it fixed. Meanwhile, I have nothing to do but freeze and cook to try to […]
