A few years ago, I went to a coworker's house party and brought little baked sandwiches made out of Hawaiian rolls. Everyone was amazed. People were begging me for the recipe. The simple little ham and cheese sliders were a massive hit. I couldn't believe it. The recipe was one of the most simple I… Continue reading Baked Cracker Sandwiches

Spinach and Bacon Quiche
Why do frozen pie crusts come two to a pack? I'm not talking about the rolled up crusts, because that makes sense. You never know when you're going to need a top crust (I'm looking at you, cherry pie). I'm talking about the frozen, already-in-an-aluminum-pie-plate crusts. Why are there two? Most of the time I… Continue reading Spinach and Bacon Quiche
Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds
After 17+ years in the kitchen, I finally did it. I finally had a knife accident. Thankfully, my slip-up only cost me half a fingernail, otherwise, this story would have been much more graphic. Picture this: I was cutting some roast turkey breast into slices for lunch when the knife I was using just sliced… Continue reading Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds
Reuben Wraps
When I was a kid I used to dislike a lot of foods. Onions were a big one. I couldn't STAND crunchy, barely cooked onions on anything like pizza or salads. I also despised pot roast and corned beef. Now, I love all of those things. I use onions in my cooking more than almost… Continue reading Reuben Wraps
Reuben Slaw
I didn't celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Let me rephrase that. I never celebrate St. Patrick's Day. It's a made up holiday that's sole purpose is for you to drink as much as possible. I don't need a holiday for that, one, and I don't usually partake in frivolous holidays. Sure, most years I'll make corned… Continue reading Reuben Slaw
Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Anyone else have the slightest obsession with cheese? I do. And it's not just a slight obsession, either. I'm talking a full-blown, grade-A love affair with cheese. I think that's why I've been able to stick to this Keto diet so well. I didn't have to give up my torrid affair with cheese. Any diet… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Beer Brat Mac & Cheese
Boy howdy, it's been a busy week. Since I work overnights, I'm the gatekeeper between breaking news and what our crews cover for the morning news. I intently listen to police scanners, while also working on my show, to anything strange or off-kilter. Shootings, stabbings, and house fires happen A LOT at night. Like my… Continue reading Beer Brat Mac & Cheese
Eggs Benedict Quiche
There are a lot of utensils and cooking techniques that have disappeared from the American kitchen over the last few decades. When was the last time you actually used a metal sifter to sift flour for a cake? Or used a double broiler to melt chocolate? Have you ever even used a manual masher to… Continue reading Eggs Benedict Quiche
Country Breakfast Pie
I've discovered that I don't post very many breakfast recipes on here. It's not because I don't love the most important meal of the day, it's just that I don't make very many breakfast dishes. My normal breakfast (that I eat at 10 o'clock at night, by the way) is a 100 calorie English muffin… Continue reading Country Breakfast Pie
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
Chicken cordon bleu used to be one of those really fancy dinners that maybe your mom would make when company was coming over. Lately, however, it's been pushed back into almost obscurity. You don't even see the stuff in frozen dinners anymore! It's turning into one of those "vintage" dishes, like Jello molds from the… Continue reading Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
