Sweet & Spicy Cole Slaw
I have issues with raw carrots and celery, so I don’t use them in my cole slaw. I’ve developed my own sweet and spicy recipe. People are always asking me for it, so here it is.
Creamy Pimento Cheese Recipe
I never really ate pimento cheese when I was growing up. My mother has always made a good version, but I went through an anti-mayonnaise phase that lasted many years. Ever since I’ve been experimenting with homemade mayo, I’ve also opened my mind to pimento cheese. I’ve created a versionRead more
Backyard Garden, 2010
I somehow talked my wife into going to the farmers market with me on Saturday morning. We got there five minutes after they opened and it was already packed. I forgot it was the annual spring plant sale, which is probably better described as the Battle of the Blue-Hairs. WeRead more
Falls Park In The Snow
I was in the process of deleting old pictures from my phone when I ran across some pictures of Greenville after a brief snowstorm a few months ago. I think all the snow had melted by mid-afternoon, but it was pretty while it lasted. I already posted some pictures ofRead more
Roasted Vegetable Relish
The wife and I have been making this side dish for a while now and it’s become one of our favorites. It slowly evolved from our grilled ratatouille recipe into it’s own dish. We’ve served it to many people and everyone always asks for the recipe, so here it is.
Roasted Garlic Hummus
The wife is a big fan of hummus. We always enjoy it and say we should have it more often, but we rarely do. I thought I’d finally write down my basic recipe in the hopes that we won’t have to reinvent the wheel every time we want to prepareRead more
Baja-Style Fish Tacos
Having never been to Baja California, I can’t say that this is exactly how the locals cook them on the beach. Actually, I’m pretty sure it’s not, but this recipe still makes the best-tasting fish tacos I’ve ever had. The secret is in the sauce.
Grilled Shark Steaks Over Pasta With Spring Vegetables
We’re trying to eat a little more simply (and healthy) in the Chandler household. Instead of meat accounting for 70% of every meal, we’re reducing the fat and introducing more vegetables and grains to our diets. So instead of having the traditional lamb or pork dish this Easter Sunday, weRead more
6 Hour Chili
I’ve spent years perfecting my chili recipe. It’s still subject to whatever ingredients I have on hand, but it’s safe to say it’s about done. It’s not competition chili by any means and it’s more of a compromise than I’d prefer. I like really spicy Southwestern chili with no beans,Read more
Italian Beef Sandwiches
The wife and I are enamored with our new Sunday treat, the Chicago-style Italian beef sandwich. If you’re not familiar with this heavenly mess, think of it as the bastard offspring of a French dip and a Philly cheese steak. Watch this video for more information. There’s really no placeRead more
