Sometimes I feel like I’m walking in the shadows of giants. They’re very nice giants, but giants nonetheless.
When I started this little food blog I wasn’t really aware of the sheer number of other food bloggers out there. That realization came later. For the week I spent setting up and getting [...]
Today is national POW*MIA day. Please take a moment out of your busy schedule to remember those brave souls who are lost and missing. Their sacrifices will not go unremembered or unappreciated as long as they are not forgotten.

It’s a scoop folks, you’re hearing it here first!
Chef Robert Irvine, host of Food Network’s Dinner: Impossible! and author of Mission: Cook! recently honored the United States Air force with his presence at the Sheppard AFB 60th Anniversary Ball. Chef Irvine was present as host for his television series, Dinner: Impossible, and from all [...]
Lisa over at the Homesick Texan recently did a post on breakfast tacos. That post got me thinking about breakfast foods in general, and this morning I caved in and made myself something I haven’t had in a very long time.
I momentarily jumped off the low cholesterol bandwagon and indulged in one of the [...]
Blame it on Elise Bauer. I do. I was browsing through my favorite food blogs recently and came across a photo and recipe at Simply Recipes that made me stop and drool profusely. Not only did her Tarragon Tuna Melt make me want to run to the kitchen and get cooking, and [...]

In life there are things that don’t work out right. There are also things that never should have been attempted. This morning I came face-to-face with both. In an effort to make the doctor happy and lower my just-slightly-higher-than-average cholesterol, we’ve switched to mostly turkey-based sausage, which in most cases is just [...]
It’s an amazing and slightly strange thing to physically “bump into” someone who reads your blog, but that’s just what happened to me over the weekend. My wife and I were on our way to the local Mega-mart after a quick grocery run when we passed two young women who were frantically looking for [...]
Like most families, we saw each other mostly on holidays, and the order of the day was, of course, the food.
