Bacon Wrapped Beer Brats

Bacon Wrapped Beer Brats and Cucumber Salad

That smokey, salty flavor. That crispiness. That crunchy, yet chewy goodness. Yeah…I LOVE bacon. Can you tell?! And I really love things wrapped in that goodness. Like hotdogs in Mexico. They are the best! I can see some of your faces now. All shriveled up and saying, “gross!” Whatever! You […]

Chile Verde Smothered Burritos

Bean Burritos, Smothered in Chile Verde (Green Chile)

First things first. You need burritos, right? OK, that’s a no brainer. Just use my Saturday night Bean and Cream Cheese burritos (with or without ground beef) and you’re in business! Next, the main event. CHILE VERDE!!! This meal is a labor of love and each cook puts his or […]

Pork and Egg Machaca with Beans & Tortillas

Years ago, I went to lunch nearly every day with my good friend, Danny. We tried as much as possible to leave the office for lunch, just to get a break from our crazy and hectic jobs. Plus, we also enjoyed some general banter and a good meal. Especially a […]

Spicy Bangers and Mash!

Bangers and Mash – Kicked up a little. OK, a lot!

This is not “traditional” bangers and mash. And in truth, it’s not meant to be. Not because I don’t love the traditional version, it’s just because I happen to pick up a great deal on Jalapeno Cheddar sausage from the butcher and figured, what the hell? Why not, right? How […]
