Maple Dijon Sweet Potato Mash
I’ve been eating a lot of sweet potatoes lately in an effort to switch things up a little. I’m trying to come up with different ways to serve them because The Stud Muffin is a meat and regular potatoes kind of man. When I put sweet potatoes in front of him, he’s expecting a turkey and all the fixings to accompany it. Don’t get me wrong, I love regular potatoes, but they don’t love me. I feel a bit sluggish after eating them. The only time that I don’t is when I’ve made potatoes Au Gratin, which includes lots of cheese, cream, bacon, onions and butter. If I put enough protein in a…
Skillet Honey Cornbread
There is something about a big square of warm cornbread straight from the oven that’s been rubbed down with copious amounts of butter. Ahhh, heaven. I’ve wanted to share this recipe for about 7 months now, but after we moved from Minnesota last summer down to South Carolina, I noticed that a lot of my recipes went missing. I have no idea how- I packed all the boxes, but some boxes got unpacked so things could fit in the moving truck, and my guess is my recipe binders got sucked into some vortex as we crossed the Mason Dixon Line. I’ve been testing various recipes to find something that came close, and I…
Apple-Poppy Seed Coleslaw
With autumn fast approaching most blogger’s are already knee-deep in comfort food recipes, apple and pumpkin desserts and casseroles. But not me. Nope. We made it from MN to SC and it’s hot down here. In fact, it’s still in the 90s, so summer is alive and well in my area and it’s not too late to squeeze out a few more recipes that one might associate with summer barbecue’s or cook-outs, like coleslaw. I planned to share my remaining summer-time recipes weeks ago, but the move proved to be more stressful than I ever could have imagined. When we arrived at our new (rental) home in SC, we discovered it wasn’t…
Not Yo Mama’s Potato Salad
I have a sensitive palate. It’s easily assaulted, intensely opinionated and it rarely fails me when trying to predict all the ingredients in a dish from a restaurant that I wish to duplicate at home. Because of this, I sheepishly admit that my homemade potato salad was rather simple and unassuming. I am a firm believer that simple food is good food. Taking a basic potato and using a few simple ingredients to enhance the flavor of the potato and make it shine is the mark of a good chef. While in culinary school I learned about a Student Culinary Competition Team that competed on a national level for the American Culinary…

Real Food Roasted Vegetables
TSM (The Stud Muffin) doesn’t care much for veggies. In fact, it would be easier to get a 3 year old to eat their veggies than it is to get TSM to eat them. So I roast them. If they’re roasted he’ll eat them and the skies part and the angels sing and the birdies tweet and the sun shines and every little girl that wished for a pony gets one and my man gets some healthy veggies in his body. I’d roast veggies more often, but sometimes a girl just wants some steamed green beans, ya know? These veggies could NOT be easier to prepare. They are so easy, TSM made a…
Meatballs with Beef, Pork and Veal
Welcome to the new blog site everyone! Are you as excited to be here as I am to have you here? I hope so! Are you ‘CRAZY excited’, as my 8-year-old niece would say? Imagine my surprise when after importing all the posts from my Blogger site I realized that I’ve shared my “Gravy”/Marinara sauce recipe, and a quick tomato meat sauce/ragu recipe and a basic white sauce recipe but I never shared my meatball recipe? What is wrong with me? Um, don’t answer that please… Please accept my most genuine apology for taking so long to post my meatball recipe. I should probably remember to take my memory supplements more often. I…
