BBQ Chicken Tostadas
I swear, if I don't get a new oven sometime soon...I might lose my mind. I was CRAVING tostadas the other day and I've only ever made them in the oven. Sure, you can get the pre-made tostada shells (which is what I did) but how the heck are you going to melt the cheese… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Tostadas

Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich
I'm a big time lover of stinky foods. I've gotten in trouble eating tuna in a confined space at work before. I'll heat up broccoli in the microwave with no shame. I once got the boot from the newsroom for opening up a package of pickled cauliflower (to be fair, it REEKED, and I had… Continue reading Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich

My vast collection of cookbooks, though, is full of endless opportunities. I've got cookbooks from WWII, from the 60's, from celebrities like Vincent Price… Continue reading Steakhouse Spinach Salad
Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Cream cheese is a godsend. I'm constantly impressed with the versatility of it. It's been used in my cheesecakes (duh), lemon bars, icing, casseroles, and stuffed chicken. There's usually a block of the stuff hanging out in the back of my fridge. I use cream cheese so often it's a mainstay on my grocery lists.… Continue reading Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Fried Cabbage Slaw
It's one of my favorite vegetables: cabbage.I like it in just about everything. Raw in coleslaw or on top of tacos, cooked down with corned beef or fried with bacon---cabbage is a star in my world.Not to mention the fact that it's cheap. I bought a head of cabbage for 52 cents at the grocery… Continue reading Fried Cabbage Slaw
BLT Breakfast Salad
I was a photographer for television stations at the beginning of my career. The term "photographer" is a little misleading, though. I was a videographer. There's a massive difference between how people shoot pictures and how people shoot video...and how people shoot television news. I knew my camera like the back of my hand (a… Continue reading BLT Breakfast Salad

I've spent the entire day cooking. Breakfast, lunch and dinner has been meal-prepped for the week. I even made time to make a snack for the week ahead: some of the best chicken wings I've ever had. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for a load of dishes to dry so I can do two more… Continue reading Bacon Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
