Chiturken Meatball Boats
I had a couple of reasons for doing this recipe. First off, 4th of July is next weekend and I always like to do some seasonal bbq food around this time. Secondly, and probably more importantly, I had this ginormous zucchini (courgette) growing in my garden that I needed to do something with before some [...]
CHICKEN TARRAGON BURGERS
On my recent travels I had a great time exploring and enjoying all the delicious French food. If you saw Top Chef Master’s on Wednesday night last you got a taste of how serious French chefs are. Their training is like the military; structured, no-nonsense, all about technique, full of pride. A lot of my [...]
Mediterranean Chicken
A perfect fit for a low-carb lifestyle, olives are loaded with healthy monounsaturates. In general, these fats are considered to be healthier as compared to the others.

I did some research about the origins of Smothered Chicken and in a nutshell yes, it’s considered to be a staple in the South also commonly [...]

Lucky for me Salmon is on the good list since I practically grew up on the stuff. Just as well there weren’t any [...]
Lentil Loaf with Spicy Citrus Squash
Being that the Missus is a fishetarian (which is what she likes to call herself) we experiment with quite a lot of vegetarian recipes often using meat-substitutes or seafood as our proteins. Lucky for her I’m not afraid to try it all and more often than not, I’m pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I suppose [...]
Cornish Game Hen with Orange Balsamic Glaze
The holidays are just about here and for most of you that means one thing, turkey. By the time Christmas gets here most of you will have had turkey soup, turkey sandwiches, turkey stew, need I go on? I thought it might be nice to give you an alternative as well as making the flavor [...]
