Continue reading →: An Ode to Bagel and SchmearBagel and schmear, oh bagel and schmear. Were there ever a more perfect weekend breakfast combo than bagel and schmear (and tomato, capers, red onion, and lox)? Waking to the realization that it’s still the weekend and not Monday morning like you thought is cause for celebration in the form…

For when life gets to you and you just need comfort food. This version is far more than leftover potatoes, tomato soup, and ground beef. (Baby is sleeping in my arms and I wrote this from my phone excuse any stupidity) Filling: 2 lbs of lamb, either ground or cubes…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Chicken Stuffed PeppersWe’ve talked in the past about my obsession with Buffalo flavored everything, so here’s a fun little diddy that I made up last night before the Patriots game.

Good Afternoon, or morning depending on where you are. I’ve had a Grande Quad Non-fat Latte and three additional cups of coffee so far today. Where are you on a scale of 1-100 in your caffeinated buzz? I’m at about a 52. I’m not sure if that really qualifies as…
