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…

COFFEE AND CHILI CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS
I have been curious about using coffee as a crust for a while now and, while I normally enjoy drinking it, I was unsure how it would come out cooking with it. I opted to use it in a spicy mixture, so I decided to turn up the heat. The result was incredible, the coffee…

PRIME RIB ROAST
During the holiday season, Prime Rib is a must in my household. It is a juicy, tender, and righteously fatty cut of meat. It may seem intimidating cooking Prime Rib but, to the contrary, it is quite simple. My recipe below simplifies it for a way anyone can make it, and it includes a nice…

BOURBON SESAME CHICKEN
This was a go-to favorite of mine when I would go to the food court at the mall. Something about the sauce I would love, I didn’t even need to add any additional soy or duck sauces on it. Having grown up and not eating as unhealthy as I did when I was younger, I…

MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED WHOLE FISH
Summertime and nothing I love more than grilling! With the occasional burger or sausage being grilled, I get cravings for some good, old fish. There is nothing like the smell of a beautifully seasoned fish over a nice hot fire. The best part, it is pretty easy and not as difficult as some people think.…

ROSEMARY-SEASALT LEMON SQUARES
A taste of Mediterranean summer in every bite! That’s what you get with this recipe for lemon squares. A savory, yet slightly sweet, shortbread base accompanies the creamy, tart Meyer lemon curd, giving notes and daydreams of summer adventures to come. This dessert may look intimidating to make, but trust me it is not. It…

Oven Baked Salmon Steaks
Salmon is definitely one of my favorite tasting and versatile fishes to cook. They are filled with good fat and vitamins, and when fried in butter, the skin turns to crispy perfection. Instead of frying the salmon, this variation instead bakes it in foil, sealing in the juices and flavor, thus keeping the meat tender…
