The use of cast iron cookware goes back a long way and almost everyone recognizes what a cast iron skillet looks like. Its that really heavy frying pan that a lot of people had and you’d always see cowboys using on the trail in old western movies. I’ve been using cast iron cookware for many … Read more
This is going to be kind of an informal “recipe”. I feel like it needs to be because the idea of a sammich is that you’re hungry and you need portable food. Don’t overthink it. I wrote it up, but intentionally left out the nutrition facts. Aldi’s has a keto friendly bread that is about … Read more
Who doesn’t love a good sammich? The weather was decent the last few days, but the motivation wasn’t there to pull the grill out and actually make something outside. So I’m still trying to come up with good ideas that would transfer to the grill/griddle. Sammiches transcend every style of cooking. I’m going to post … Read more
My brief hiatus has now become “brief”. Between being absolutely swamped with the job that pays my bills and recovering from COVID, I have been absolutely exhausted and unable to focus on anything beyond that.

Chicken has been the theme of this week. I really feel like I nailed a whole chicken in the Instant Pot Duo Crisp this week. I’d also made chicken thighs using the Shake & Bake recipe I posted yesterday. I’m still learning this unit, which is why I haven’t posted much with it yet. Next … Read more
Anyone remember Shake N Bake? For the uninitiated, its a flavored breading mix that came in a bag. You would put the raw meat in the bag, shake the bag until the meat was coated, then place on a baking dish and bake said meat. That stuff was delicious. Lower carb diets have been all … Read more
I hope everyone enjoyed their time with their respective family and friends, and that the food was a plenty. After my endeavors on Thanksgiving, I decided to partake in someone else’s culinary efforts. While partaking in such, in discussion with some friends on Christmas Eve, I added another peg into the infrastructure that we’re continuing … Read more
