Stop the presses. Stop what you’re doing and stare! I made Peach Pie Yes, that’s right, he who does not bake made a pie. He who finds the depths of dessert dark and dangerous prepared a perfect peach pie. I made this pie last week and I still can’t believe it. If you have ever […]

Fry Sauce
It’s a special sauce, it Thousand Island, no it’s Fry Sauce! If you don’t live in Utah or if you haven’t seen Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about right now. It’s okay, I only recently learned of the existence of fry sauce and I might never […]

Chef Mark Tafoya
It took about ten seconds of tweeting with Chef Mark Tafoya (that’s @ChefMark on Twitter), a personal chef in New York City, for me to realize he knew great food. Probably because I’m slow, it took me a couple of days to realize he was the same chef I had been listening to on his Remarkable […]
Big Acres® Gourmet Foods Ginger Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce
A few months ago, I wrote up a recipe for Beef Mole using the Milagro Mole from Big Acres® . In this recipe, I explained in no small detail how much I loved the Milagro Mole.

Okay, we’re back for another delicious installment of the 2009 Nude & Eco-Cheap Cooking Initiative.

This arrangement works out well since if […]

Candied Jalapenos
This recipe takes me waaay back (to you know, like 2005) when I was desperately trying to get on Next Food Network Star Season 2. I wanted to be unique, I wanted to be different, and I wanted to do something that would make me stand out. So I made: Candied Jalapenos Yep, that’s right. […]
Pickles – 2009 Nude Gardening Special
So, I can’t really call this Recipe 5 of Shawna Coronado‘s and my 2009 Nude & Eco-Cheap Cooking Initiative because it’s not really dinner, nor does it meet the rules of the challenge. However, Shawna sent me this: A Radish, a Zucchini, and a Cucumber Walk Into a Brine… And asked me what I would do […]
