The Negroni

The Negroni, an Italian classic dating back to the early 1900’s, has made a comeback. Mixing equal part ingredients, the Negroni delivers a perfect blend of both sweet and bitter flavors.  Intensely red in color, it seems only fitting to...

Mini King Cupcakes

A traditional King Cake is similar to a twisted cinnamon pastry ring with loads of icing and these days, plenty of sprinkles.  Why not try the New Orleans classic in a cupcake form?  Don’t forget to place the “baby” (which...

Creole-Style Baked Hash Browns

Jazz-up biddy tater bits with a little Creole kick.  A spicy potato parade for your taste buds.

Pizzone

OMG! A pizza and a calzone all in one? Genius. Thankfully, Food & Wine published Rustic’s (Francis Ford Coppola’s restaurant) recipe Pizza Vesuvio With the Works.  I’m referring to it as the Pizzone. It’s got a little...

Super Bowl Sundaes

Another super use of the Shreddin’ Shredded Beef recipe.  I dig this over rice and/or in a flour tortilla (with plenty of cheese added in).  More fun in the tortilla… but everything’s more fun when you wrap and roll.

South Street Sangwiches

Not a Philly Cheesesteak in anyway, but there’s beef… there’s cheese, there’s a roll… This sandwich uses 2 cups of the Shreddin’ Shredded Beef recipe doctored up a bit.  Serve a big plate of cut up fresh veggies with...

Dark Chocolate Fondue

Sure dark chocolate fondue rocks your taste buds! …but it is also good for your heart, your brain, helps control blood sugar, full of antioxidants, contains Theobromine (hardens tooth enamel), and is high in Potassium, Copper, Magnesium and Iron.  Most importantly, it puts a smile on everyone’s face!
