Blue Cheese Dressing
Blue cheese dressing (or bleu cheese dressing if the place is classy or TGIFriday’s) is one of my top two favorite dressings that I only ever eat at restaurants. The other one being Thousand Island. At home, I always make a quick vinaigrette, but if I’m out and paying top dollar for a salad, you…
Read MoreMeatloaf with Spicy Tomato Gravy
Derrr, I’m not really sure what I can tell you about Meat Loaf that you don’t already know. I mean, he only created one of the BEST SELLING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. And then invented one of the MOST FAMOUS RECIPES OF ALL TIME. I mean, come on. The guy’s a genius right? Bat Out…
Read MoreStreusel Pear Cake: Old Lady Recipe #3
My mama might kill me for calling this an Old Lady Recipe, since she used to make it all the time, even before she was an old lady. (Just kidding, MOTHER!) So if I turn up dead tomorrow, you know who to blame. (Just kidding, MOTHER!) But all seriousness aside, folks, this here is one…
Read MoreRed Beans and Rice
It’s almost Mardi Gras so get your beads ready, or your boobs. I’m not really into that so I’ll just be at home stuffing my face with red beans and rice with sausage, maybe occasionally showing Chris my boobs just for kicks. Red beans and rice is possibly the most New Orleans of New Orleans…
Read MorePink Grapefruit Pie
Still rocking the free Rio Star grapefruits I got from TexaSweet, I started thinking about some grapefruit pie. I searched high and low until my fingers fell off and my eyes started bleeding, but the only recipes I could find for “grapefruit pie” involved strawberry gelatin. While I’m sure that’s a great recipe – why else would…
Read MoreGrapefruit Salad with Rosemary-Honey Mojo

I think that satisfies my FTC blogging requirements. (That’s the first time I’ve ever had to do that!) Also, it’s National Grapefruit Month ALL of…
Read MoreSurf and Turf: Steak with Oysters
Surf and Turf: Better than at a strip club V-D is Tuesday so here’s an awesome surf and turf combo I came up with that incorporates not one, but THREE aphrodisiacs and if that doesn’t get ya laid, well, perhaps you should look into improving your technique. Relax! I mean your cooking technique!
Read MoreHow to Steam Lobster (and How to Eat Lobster!)
This video also demonstrates how to shell and eat lobster. Not for the squeamish! 🙂 Laurel made me do it. Then I made her do it. Then we ate our victims. Chris helped and we all guzzled champagne. How sick is that?!? Well, I hope you don’t think it’s too sick. It was really tasty…
Read MoreSuperbowl Snack Mix
This one’s for all you late-comers and last-minute non-planners out there. I include myself in that group. As much as I love thinking about Superbowl parties (for the food, not the football) and planning menus in my head, I have yet to actually get around to hosting my own Superbowl party, replete with all the…
