Sausage and Pickled Jalapeño Pizza: An Ode to San Francisco

I was recently in San Francisco for a few days, with my better half and I have to admit that I'm still on vacation mode. It's so hard for me to return from any sort of trip, whether it's a week long or just a day, and get back into the right mindset to work. Does that happen to you guys as well? Please tell me it does, that way I don't feel totally guilty for feeling this way. This laziness to be an adult is hard to shake off, especially after a great getaway. San Francisco is one of those places where I can actually see myself living in (if it wasn't so darn expensive). The best thing it has going for itself—aside from the calmness and laid back people—is the amazing … [Read More...]

Main Dishes

Fried Green Tomato and Shrimp Sliders

I'm on a mission in life to become the Slider King of America. I don't really know if that's an actual thing, but it sounds really cool. I can totally see myself being King of the Sliders, too. It's definitely not a bad thing to have on my resume. If anything, it'll make me well known by millions, right? At the very least, it'll grant me some free sliders whenever I want. Which is always. Sliders everyday of my life sounds even better than being king. Don't get me wrong, I still want to be king. … [Read More...]

Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño Corn Dogs

I've been wanting to make corn dogs for the blog since for as long as I can remember. In fact, I'm like 99% sure that I wanted corn dogs to be my very first recipe/post. I said, "Jonathan, you should totally make corn dogs as the first ever recipe/post on this new blog you want to start!" Unfortunately, as life would have it, it didn't work out that way, and I ended up making a cinnamon swirl loaf instead. I wasn't upset or anything, I happen to love cinnamon and bread is sort of my weakness, so … [Read More...]

Brussels Sprouts and Pancetta Pizza

I've always had this fantasy in my head where I'd eat pizza everyday of my life and I'd never get bored of it. I don't think you quite understand just how much I love pizza. How deep my admiration for pizza runs. It's pretty deep. Deeper than any ocean and higher than any mountain, that's for sure. In my fantasy, everyday would be an entirely new (and entirely delicious) type of pizza. New toppings, along with new crusts and various different cheeses. That's 365 days of nothing but fun and … [Read More...]

BLT Biscuit Sliders

Let's discuss a few things, yeah? Let's talk about how my love for biscuits knows no end. Biscuits are like the equivalent to what doughnuts are to me on the sweet end. If you didn't know already I happen to love doughnuts (I'd kill for one), but that's neither here nor there. We're talking about biscuits. Biscuits is the name of the game. We can also chat it up all day long about the many things you'd have to do to get me to eat bacon. I'll let you in on a secret though, it doesn't take much … [Read More...]

Roasted Asparagus Sandwiches

I'd like to discuss so much with you in regards to the perfect sandwich. One might think that there isn't much to it, other than a few common ingredients here and there, but they're wrong. There's so much more to it than a few slices of bread and some filling in between. The bread needs to be hearty and toasted. I'm the kind of the guy that likes my bread toasted to the point where it can pass as a lethal weapon. Always have been, ever since I was a little boy. It was so bad that I wouldn't even … [Read More...]

Orecchiette with Asparagus and Sausage

A little over a month ago it was Valentine's Day, and on this specific day I had dinner with the love of my life. We ordered a pasta dish—along with a lot of other dishes to share because I was super mega hungry that day. I can't really remember those dishes right now. I guess they're unimportant since they didn't stay in my head. This pasta, however, was the best dish I've had in a restaurant in a really long time. Probably in forever, but don't quote me on that because I don't want to make … [Read More...]
