    Not pictured – cheese

    Having a delicacy like Taylor Ham available at 2 of the grocery stores I visit (I visit quite a few, I won’t lie!) makes weekends salty in a great way. THE&C never gets the stink eye! This batch was distributed on Bays English Muffins, with some sliced cheddar and Sriracha. Kim’s was served with another…

    Colorful fire

    Don’t know what’s in these logs, but they sure but on a show.

  • Fire roasted

    Fire roasted

    Such a common marketing term for food lately. Well here’s a real example! Peppers on the grill for fajitas.

  • Never again

    Never again

    Currently ranking as the hardest and most frustrating puzzle completed – the Lego Heads puzzle from a month ago was finally completed… The only one harder that I’ve seen is “the Black” puzzle – which was started, never completed, and never claimed. No one has owned up to gifting it – nor does anyone remember…

  • Meatloaf and Potatoes .. twice baked

    Meatloaf and Potatoes .. twice baked

    Yesterday’s post about the loaf had some potatoes baking as well. The little gourmands here absolutely love twice baked potatoes – pretty sure something I first encountered working at the Marcum Conference Center in college. Anyway, take those cooked baked potatoes, scrape them out, mash with cheese and whatever else you want – jam back…

  • Meatloaf, Feetloaf

    Meatloaf, Feetloaf

    When you are making meatloaf but realize it won’t be done in time for those who NEED dinner.. you could make a smaller loaf, or use a muffin tin for tiny muffin-loaf things, or make meatballs. But lately I’ve enjoyed making.. FEETLOAF. They cook fast, and make things a little more interesting. Shape some loaf-mix…

    These “60 degrees in Winter” days need to be enjoyed!

  • JUST egg.. part deux!

    JUST egg.. part deux!

    As noted in JUST Egg. But not.. fake eggs are not quite right. After mediocre enjoyment, I explored the JUST brand a bit further – and tried these frozen egg ‘folds’ next. How do ya cook it, you ask? In the toaster. Like toast. Except yeah, its mung bean egg substance. It cooks in the…

    Thanks to Giada for this super easy, insanely delicious take on this dish. Its as simple as.. Regarding that bread, I admit I broiled it a bit with some olive oil, Parm, salt and pepper. Just a little extra touch.

    Even on a cloudy day – a beanbag by the storm door is THE place to be.

    JUST Egg. But not.

    For some time, unknown foods have caused some unsettledness for Kim. We assumed it was classics like ice cream, or eggplant, or broccoli. While she was down and out with her knee reconstruction, a Food Sensitivity test seemed like a good activity to find some answers. Well, EGGS look to be one of the top…

  • Air-fried Steak

    Air-fried Steak

    Did I put Snake River Farms wagyu tenderloin pieces (thanks Douglas) into an air fryer? Yup. And I’d do it again!. Spoiler alert, its not fried. Its more like.. broiled at all angles. I’ve done this a few times with steak pieces – strangely at the recommendation of one of Noah’s friends. The finished product:…
