Now that it’s a bit cooler out, Sunday afternoons have become our ‘movie time’. We curl up on the sofa and find a classic movie we’ve both always wanted to see. And that means we need a snack to go with it. This French onion dip popcorn was the ideal bowl of crunchy delicious goodness … Continue reading “French Onion Dip Popcorn”

In just minutes I’m enjoying an almost-criminal indulgence: … Continue reading “Quick Fix Ramen-Seasoned Chips”
Never in my life have I needed an excuse to make corned beef. Whenever it goes on sale I am the first to load up my grocery cart. Yep, load up. Stack them high, I say.

I’m very, very biased when it comes to rouladen and knödel. I’m quite sure that my mom’s are the best. I tried to duplicate hers as best I could, and boy, where they ever fantastic, but they still aren’t mom’s. I’m ok with that. Fantastic tender beef stuffed with a mixture of pickles, mustard, bacon … Continue reading “Rouladen and Knödel”

Well, no, no it’s not. It’s actually pretty darned good. I admit it, I’ve come around to … Continue reading “Indiana Chili”
I never met a baked potato I didn’t like. It started as a kid, going to a steakhouse with my parents. Ordering a loaded baked potato was like a right of passage.

Kosmo’s Q makes some seriously good wing dusts. I picked up a few packets, including their Kickin’ Cajun. Sure, I made great wings with it. So then I made these easy grilled Cajun shrimp.
