Breakfast Cheeseburger Recipe + Contest Winner

The Cheeseburger is All Growns Up! What I love most about cheeseburgers are the creative renditions.  Gone are the days of simple American cheese, lettuce, tomato and ketchup.  Varieties range from BBQ to Buffalo to Carolina (chili, coleslaw, mustard) to Mexican inspired.  I’m sure that many favorites were missed, but you’re already familiar with the point.  The cheeseburger is all growns up and gives us inspiration to be creative! The restaurant industry…

Chicken Saltimbocca Recipe + Contest Winner

Chicken Saltimbocca – Not Just for Restaurants Anymore! Chicken Saltimbocca is one of those dishes that I often order at restaurants but have never attempted at home.  I’m not really sure why.  Perhaps it’s because the richness makes it appear so complex that it can’t be replicated by a simple home cook like myself.  SAHMmalier taught me this month that Chicken Saltimbocca can be reproduced at home.  It’s just a few ingredients…

Deviled Eggs Recipe + Contest Winner

Grown Up Kegs and Eggs, Anyone?

Cooking Miami’s Infamous Chop-Chop and My First Published Article

Last month I published my first article in a real magazine – Run South Florida.  Someone actually liked my words enough to print them!  I’m not sure why it has taken me almost a month to mention it here on my blog.  You’d think I’d make a grand announcement with animated balloons and Nickelback music (I think Rockstar would be appropriate).  Alas, my big splash into the world of adding “published” to…
