CHEESESTEAKS
Back when I used to work at an Italian Pizza and Sub shop, I could attest majority of my weight gain to the cheesesteaks and not the pizza. Something about the melted cheese and salty steak combined with the crunchy bread was more enticing to me than the pizzas. While the cheesesteaks at my old…

CHICKEN MARBELLA
The Chicken Marbella has to be one of the most enigmatic dishes I have both cooked and consumed. It is briny, sweet, salty. The chicken is seasoned perfectly with just a hint of spice to enhance the salty/sweet combination of the dish. For my take on the recipe, I used dried apricots instead of prunes…

LAMB CHOPS WITH MASHED PURPLE POTATOES
Purple potatoes have easily become my favorite kind, overtaking the prior titleholder of redskin potatoes. It may look like a magic trick, or a food additive, but purple potatoes are as natural and occurring as their brown, yellow, and red counterparts. They have such an immense flavor, which truly came out when I made mashed…
