Last week, Rachel and I were chatting over IM during work and we decided that we needed to take advantage of the worldly culture that the great city of Chicago has to offer by bringing a picnic to a free international jazz concert in Millennium Park. It took a little bit of convincing (and the [...]

Easy Entertaining: Chipotle Steak Sliders

Sliders. Did you just think of White Castle? Harold and Kumar? Did you gag a little? Does that word only become appealing after 4.7 alcoholic beverages? If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, I may have a solution for you. It may change your view on sliders forever. If you answered “no,” [...]

Too Hot to Cook: Shrimp Salad with Dill & Cucumber

September 5, 2010

If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? If you cook without turning on the oven, does it count as cooking? Well, I’m going to go ahead and say yes, yes it does, because with the exception of a purple potato pizza here and a plum crumble there, my oven has [...]

Are you out there?), chefs and television personalities [...]

The Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge: Brioche (Week 4) Poor Man’s Ham, Egg & Cheddar

June 11, 2009

Worknight Dinner (or Latenight Snack) Recipe: Grilled Apple & Cheddar Cheese Sandwich

February 2, 2009

In some cases, it’s pizza delivery at four a.m. In some cases, Cheese Whiz-smothered cheesesteaks chased down with an order of waffle fries. For me, it was bagel sandwiches.

Worknight Dinner Recipe: Cheddar Apple & Honey Panini, Balsamic Spinach & Portabello Panini

On weekdays, my meal schedule is vastly different than it is on the weekends. During the week I eat breakfast when I get to work, lunch around 1 or 2p.m. and snack on fruits, veggies and yogurt to keep me from hitting the vending machine (although, I wouldn’t be tempted my the vending machine but [...]
