I love spiedies. They are a cultural dish in the Southern Tier of New York State. All the fairgrounds and regattas offer them… oooo the smell of them would drive us mad. Spiedies are very easy to make, and they are inexpensive (well, more inexpensive than best wrinkle cream!); I usually buy my meat in [...]

This recipe has probably been invented before. As I was making it, I gloated that perhaps I was concocting something new, but then the realization hit me that spiedies are really, really popular, and people have been making wraps for thousands of years (hello, falafel!)… so maybe I’m having a delusion of grandeur.. but these [...]

Well, chalk this up to another good recipe I managed to throw together! I admit, as I was sifting through my refrigerator, I had my doubts. I wondered what the kids would think of it, and I wondered if it would be good. SCORE on both counts! Yay! This was so easy. And it’s good [...]

This was the EASIEST pot roast I have ever made. I’m impressed! It was such a surprise that I didn’t even think to take photos beforehand, because I thought this was just going to be another basic, boring pot roast. But WOW! It’s good. And EASY. Throw it in the oven, forget about it, go [...]

This recipe is sooo good. And it’s pretty easy to make, if a bit messy. (Italian dishes are always so messy to make and eat). This particular recipe I got from Italian Food at About.com, and it’s called Don’s Steak Pizzaiola. I altered it a little to my liking. It’s a really good dish. Steak [...]

This is not your average American-style chili recipe. I actually made it up when I was out of a certain number of ingredients (isn’t that how all recipes are eventually created, lol?). Wow Chow Chili, as most of my recipes are, can be completely customized according to your likes. I like my chili only a [...]

Easy easy easy! I love it when cooking is this easy. Here’s a really simple, DIY marinade for meat. I used it on beef steak, but it’s delicious with chicken or pork, too. Also, it’s verstaile enough for vegetables. 5 pounds beef steak (I slice mine into chunks for quicker cooking) 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar [...]

These are perhaps the most succulent meatballs you will ever eat. All the meatball recipes that I have seen bake the balls in the oven. This pretty much destroys the savory goodness of the meatball. Plus, you may as well hand out the nutcrackers when serving the meatballs, they get so hard. My meatballs are [...]

Well, I’m testing out the new template. I’ll have more to come.
