Arby’s Beef-n-Cheddar with Curly Fries (Copycat Recipe)

Although I don’t eat fast food any more (or at least, it’s been years since I have), that doesn’t mean I don’t get a hankerin’ for it every now and then. Here lately I’ve been jonesin’ for a sandwich from Arby’s. In no time I was enjoying a copycat recipe for a Arby’s Beef-n-Cheddar sandwich with a side of curly fries. It was just like I went to the fast food restaurant. Only better because I made it. And making it yourself is so much more rewarding than getting food from a drive-thru or having a GrubHub driver deliver it! At least, that’s my thinking!

Arby's Beef-n-Cheddar with Curly Fries (Copycat Recipe)

Spot-On Yummy

This copycat recipe of a Arby’s Beef-n-cheddar with curly fries did the classic sandwich justice. And the fries were right on the money too. My cravin’ was satisfied (for now)! And the best part? I can pile as much meat and cheese on my sandwich as I want. Heck, I can add more cheese too. And extra Arby’s sauce! And while I’m at it, I want more curly fries too!

Also try my copycat of Arby’s roast beef sandwich! I’ve also made spiral fries from scratch, which came out fantastic!

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Stuffing

Wow, this grilled pork tenderloin with apples and stuffing turned out great. Although the original recipe called for baking bone-in pork chops, I knew that grilling a marinated pork tenderloin would result in a more tender, juicy dish. We’re big fans of pork tenderloin in this house. When they go on sale, I go to the store and grab a few packs (there are two in a package). Marinating them not only adds great flavor it helps keep the meat tender and moist. There’s no reason to buy a great tenderloin only to dry it out on a grill.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Stuffing

The Perfect Pork Topping

The topping on this grilled pork tenderloin with apples and stuffing is beyond great. It reminds you of eating apple pie and turkey stuffing at the same time. Almost like it was Thanksgiving. The slight sweetness of the apple pie really goes really well with the apple-flavored pork. Don’t worry, it’s not overly sweet at all. And any sweetness is offset by the wonderful pork.

Shamrock Shake

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s a great day to enjoy a big ole cold Shamrock shake. And a few Irish stouts. But that’s later. For now let’s concentrate on this shake. This killer concoction puts the rest to shame. Of course it’s green. And of course it’s big time minty. That’s all you need. It’s fun to make and of course even more fun to eat. I loved this shake. It made me happy!

This Shamrock shake is even yummier when served out of a vintage soda glass. I found this 1950s one in the Exit 76 antique mall and just had to get it. It’s very heavy and tall, perfect for a shake or a soda. You don’t have to worry about knocking it over. It’s not going anywhere!

Rosemary Chicken Wings with Herb Dipping Sauce

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

These rosemary chicken wings with a herb dipping sauce wings were a fantastic change from traditional Buffalo-like wings. The flavor is just like that of a whole roasted chicken, but served as easy finger food. The herb dipping sauce really complements the herby flavor of the chicken. I served them with Ranch dressing too, but honestly, you won’t need it.

I made the wings on my Char Broil Big Easy, using the Wingin’ator 3000 modification. You can make them in the oven or on your grill instead.

Roasted Garlic Hummus

After making a delicious roasted red pepper hummus the other day, I decided to make a variation. This roasted garlic hummus was another big hit. Perfect for game-time snacking. I also like to pack a little for my wife to take in her lunches. Hummus holds up great and tastes just as good the next day. Sure, she ended up with garlic breath. That’s the price you pay for a good garlic hummus!

Roasted Garlic Hummus

Deliciously Garlicky

I roasted the garlic for this roasted garlic hummus in my oven. I’m also a big fan of slow cooker roasted garlic. And if I have a grill fired up, I’ll just throw it onto the grill for a while instead. There is no substitute for it so take the time to do it right. It’s what this hummus is all about.

  • Preheat oven to 450 F.
  • Cut about 1/4″ off the bottoms (non-root side) of the garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil. Wrap in foil and put into the oven for about 45 minutes or until softened. Remove and let cool. Remove the roasted garlic by squeezing on the garlic bulb.

  • Scrape down the sides of the processor and puree for another 30 seconds.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of oil, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt.
  • Process for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and puree another 30 seconds.
  • Open the can of peas. Drain the liquid into a cup, then rinse and drain well.
  • Add half of the peas to the processor and run for 1 minute.
  • Add the remaining peas and process another 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
  • Add in the roasted garlic. If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of the reserved chickpea liquid, but not much.
  • Serve drizzled with oil.

Herb Dipping Sauce

I made this herb dipping sauce as a sauce for rosemary chicken wings. Turns out it also makes a great salad dressing. And it’s great as a chimichurri-like sauce for grilled meats. It definitely packs a nice herby flavor. That was the point!

Rosemary Chicken Wings with Herb Dipping Sauce

A Different Kind Of Dipping Sauce

The herb dipping sauce really complemented the herby flavor of the chicken wings. You instead of dipping the chicken into the sauce you could brush it directly onto the chicken. Split chicken breasts or quarters, grilled to perfection and brushed with the sauce is absolutely divine (and different)!

Sure, these southern-style picnic hot dogs are easy to make. And they’re good! Nothing beats the crunchy coolness of a good slaw with the heat of a nice hot chili sauce! Yum! Nothing fancy, just great! Great for a big cookout or picnic, it doesn’t get any easier. Sure, I’ve had chili dogs before. And I’ve put slaw on my dogs before.

Alphabet Soup

Ok, I admit it. I tried to spell “Life’s A Tomato” in my alphabet soup tonight. I gave up after I couldn’t find an “L”. Regardless, this simple soup was fun to eat. It certainly brought back childhood memories of a quick bowl of alphabet soup for a school day lunch.

Alphabet Soup

Memories in a Bowl

Who didn’t love eating this soup as a kid? Well, it’s just as good (even better) now in this homemade version. Perfect on a chilly, snowy day like today here in Indianapolis. I admit, I smiled a lot as I ate this soup. It brought back memories of being a kid at the kitchen table. Mom would open a can of soup and warm it on the stove. Good times.

I like to use my good ole trusty Dutch oven to make this soup and pretty much darned near anything like it on my stovetop. It’s nice and big and sturdy. That extra weight helps it maintain and distribute heat perfectly. As an added bonus, it’s actually pretty easy to clean up too!

Grilled Kung Pao Chicken and Egg-Fried Rice

Kung Pao chicken is a great thing. Grilling (I used my Weber grill) it makes it an excellent thing. We both really enjoyed how this (easy) grilled Kung Pao chicken and egg-fried rice dish came out. There’s a hint of kick from the chicken cooled by the grilled sweetness of the grilled pineapple. Served over a simple egg-fried rice, this dish hit the spot. Despite just how simple it was to put together, it’s a real winner and something we make often.

Grilled Kung Pao Chicken and Egg-Fried Rice

Let A Grill Basket Do The Work

This grilled Kung Pao chicken and egg-fried rice dish came out tastier and easier to make than I had imagined. I found the best way to cook the chicken, mushrooms and pineapple was to throw them all into a grill basket over high heat after first searing the chicken over direct heat. I am not a fan of mixing raw chicken with anything. I prefer to cook it on its own. I’m guaranteed a properly-cooked protein that way.

Cooking was easy. Cleanup was easy.

White Bean Chili

I admit, I’m a huge fan of beef chili, so when I came across this recipe for white bean chili (with chicken?!) I was a little hesitant. Would I take a big spoonful and long for a nice piece of tender chuck instead? Nope. Although not the beefy chili I’m used to, I really enjoyed this version too. It is not lacking in flavor that’s for sure!

White Bean Chili

I’m A Chicken Chili Believer Now

This white bean chili is very good. It’s herby, for sure, thanks to a sizable amount of oregano and fresh cilantro. The chicken is tender and tasty. I added a dollop of sour cream to bring a nice cool contrast.
