I ran across some turkey tenderloins at the store the other day. I’ve been burned out on bland chicken for a while now, so I thought I’d give a new twist to my old chicken cutlet recipe. I know the name of this dish sounds complicated, but it’s really easyRead more
This time of year, green tomatoes are available at the local farmers’ market. I usually chop them up for a Caprese salad or fry them. There’s no standard southern style for fried green tomatoes. Like pimento cheese, recipes differ from region to region and from family to family. I preferRead more
Most people aren’t familiar with bulgur, but it’s just cracked wheat. Think of it as a cheaper and puffier version of cous cous. It’s probably the easiest grain in the world to cook. All you do is measure one part bulgur into a bowl, add about two parts hot liquid,Read more
We have an oregano plant in the garden that’s getting a little out of hand, so I decided to make some oregano pesto. Nothing goes better with oregano pesto than lamb. For whatever reason, people get intimidated by roasted rack of lamb. They envision a Passover/Easter feast with mint jellyRead more
Sautéed spinach is one of the best side dishes you can make. It’s nutritious, it’s easy to cook, it tastes great, and it goes with everything. I always keep one or two boxes of frozen spinach in the freezer, but it’s not very versatile. Whenever I see a good dealRead more
I baked a couple of loaves of homemade bread over the weekend. I used Michelob Ultra Amber for both of them and they tasted great. The first loaf was my basic no-knead bread:

After we make fish tacos, we always have a lot of red cabbage left over. We usually switch gears form Latin cuisine to Austrian, and the wife makes some sweet and sour cabbage while I prepare the wiener schnitzel.
Lately, *I’ve been craving chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. I think it’s because I gave up all sweets for Lent and my body still hasn’t taken in all the sugar it needs to make up for the absence. Chocolate mousse was to be my solution. Of course, I’ve never madeRead more
I’ve always thought cauliflower tasted bland, so I never used to buy it. In truth, it doesn’t taste very good by itself, but lots of foods taste boring alone and uncooked. That’s why we have recipes. I’ve been roasting cauliflower for a while now and it’s become a favorite inRead more
My job involves staying up to date with social media trends. As part of that effort, I keep a Hobby Blog. It’s mostly a public scrapbook for my friends and family. I also keep a travelogue of my outdoor adventures at C.C. Hikes.
