As a kid I only ever had turkey during the holidays or at the renaissance festival. If I had it during non holidays it was in the form of lunch meat for sandwiches and that’s really about it. Basically I saw turkey as a treat and I really still do. Turkey to me kicks off…

Roast Beef Sandwiches
I love roasted beef it almost screams to me today is going to be a relaxing day. True one pot, one burner or stove cooking is the stuff from fairy tales. And if this all also takes place on a weekend then I could only imagine that’s the same feeling of hitting the lottery. Over…
Smoked Salmon w/ Spicy Smoked Cherry Sauce
So today was interesting to say the least. We got a new smoker! I went from a small electric with wood chips to a big boy one pretty much overnight. It was intimidating to say the least. I was tasked with smoking a giant salmon filet. I’ll be honest i was quiet apprehensive because I’ve…
Crispy Chicken w/ Caper & Garlic Gremolata
Honestly, crispy chicken is always something I’ll say yes too. I’m not talking fried chicken on the bone because if I’m being honest I’m not a huge fried chicken on the bone fan. Sure I enjoy it occasionally but its not a staple for me. I really enjoy thinly pounded chicken like a schnitzel. If…
Carne Picada Steak Tacos
I love carne picada tacos. Its quick, easy and delicious. Let me explain why carne picada is a little different than the more common fajita. Fajita means thin strips and carne picada means minced meat. Generally when you make fajitas its whole marinated meat. Often a tougher cut marinated in lime or other acids then…
Porkchops w/ Whiskey Red Onions and Apple Sauce
It takes a lot to get me excited about pork if I’m being honest. Being a steak kinda girl most of the time I’m thinking why not just eat steak. Naturally, I occasionally do crave porkchops so I obviously know that includes its companion gravy and mash potatoes. Sometimes I don’t actually feel compelled to…
Chicken Parmesan Sliders
I pretty much like anything between bread. I really really like mini versions of my favorite dishes. So I was watching some show and they had this huge and glorious chicken parmesan sandwich, almost like a hoagie. I was mesmerized by it but at the same time a little overwhelmed even by looking at it!…
Roasted Parmesan & Lemon Chicken
So this post is sorta incomplete. I made this awesome parmesan lemon chicken. With two awesome sides lemon and sage French bread stuffing and a killer salad with a parmesan dressing with homemade croutons. Seriously top twenty best meals I’ve ever had. It left me feeling satisfied, not overworked and not too heavy. The thing…
Steak Sandwich w/ Homemade Jalapeno- Horseradish Mustard
Steak sandwiches have been my thing lately. Recently ive been feeling French country side style eating. That includes light thin sandwiches, salads, wine, meats and cheese but light is key. Which is huge change from texas eatin’. A texas style steak sandwich is piled high, has everything and its nothing short of the actual bone…
