I have tried many vegetarian or vegetable stock recipes that leave you wishing for fatty skin and cartilage. It took some time but I found a solution. This all-purpose broth can be frozen or keeps in the fridge for up to a week. The recipe that follows always works for me because I always keep [...]
If you have a beer in the fridge then this is BY FAR the best use for it. The batter is great for baby artichokes and fish as well. Using it to cover jalapeños is great; it burns sooooo good. This is easiest to make with an apple corer. If you do not have one [...]

This meal is like a bloody Mary had sex with old boring shrimp cocktail. This is usually served in a goblet with saltines and maybe even some tortilla chips with limes on the side at Osterias (seafood restaurants) and at authentic Mexican restaurants. The ingredients can be changed to fit your preferences, however the ketchup [...]
Ya mon. I have tried about 20 recipes for Jamaican Jerk marinade but none were what I imagined….until this one. This recipe isn’t too complicated, and the results are great! Some call for dark rum, coca cola, and other weird things (I guess I’m trying to defend the long list of seemingly random ingredients below!). [...]

This recipe is simple, delicious, and healthy. It comes from Palestine, so it’s absolutely authentic. Hummus means chick peas, so it’s really called Hummus bi tahina (chick peas with tahina). Tahina is sesame paste, much like peanut butter is peanut paste. It can be purchased at almost any regular grocery store in the ethnic food [...]

I know the title seems strange…but I made this for breakfast at 6am because I had nothing else in the fridge; hence the nonsense. It is spectaculaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Toss this together and throw it in the oven while you’re spring cleaning or weeding the lawn for a reward. Did I mention veg are healthy? Roast Veg [...]
Easy, inexpensive, and delicious. Port butt (pork leg, really) is best cooked slowly, and not rushed. That is what carnitas is all about. This recipe is simple and has few ingredients, but the end result will dazzle you. I know 4 pounds of pork butt seems like alot, (and it is) but the pork gives [...]
I perfected this to add to Thai curry. Fried tofu is super versatile. You can marinate it and serve it as an appetizer, or more obviously substitute it for any meat in soups or stews, adding at the last minute so it isn’t over cooked. It’s only two ingredients, but you must have a candy [...]
These ribs are great. I didn’t know how easy ribs were to make until I tried it. 4 lbs. of ribs will feed 4-6 people, depending on how much meat they like to eat. The chipotle glaze is wonderfully easy and tasty too! These can be made year round, since they are made on an [...]
I made this about four times in one week, to perfect it. My neighbors, brother, and friends all really like it, and it’s made with almost everything from your pantry. I usually start this, go to the gym, and when I get back it’s time to shred the chicken and add the rice! Bang bang [...]
