Open-Faced Portobello Burger

January 21, 2013 5 Comments

Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone! And, happy Inauguration! Did you guys watch the festivities on TV this morning? I did, and let me tell you…the view from my couch this year was way better (and warmer) than it was in 2008 when my friends and I packed into the National Mall to see the action. And,…read more »

Tex-Mex Burger

Even though I regularly follow about a dozen food blogs, there are really only a handful of bloggers that I consistently turn to when I want ideas for certain things. Need a cupcake recipe? Annie’s Eats is the way to go. Margaritas? Definitely Confections of a Foodie Bride. Bars and brownies? Hello, Pinch of Yum….read more »

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

October 4, 2012 11 Comments

You know how some people really, really love McDonald’s? I’m not one of them. The burgers are boring, the fries are uninspired, and frankly, the inexplicably boneless yet rib-shaped McRib meat patty freaks me out. Seriously guys, what is in those things? Nevermind, I don’t want to know. Clearly, I am not McDonald’s target audience….read more »

Prosciutto Manchego Sandwich with Spinach and Fig Preserves

August 19, 2012 2 Comments

One of the greatest things about working downtown is that there are endless delicious lunch options within walking distance of my office.  When I feel like sushi, there’s a decent place tucked into the food court up the street. On days when I’m dying for a burrito, I can hit up any one of the…read more »

Pizza Steak Sub

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve been having the most terrible allergies and allergy-induced asthma lately. I mean, I sneeze and wheeze all season every season, but things have been a lot worse this week. On Monday I was a zombie at work because the night before my allergies kept me awake (and struggling to take a…read more »

Philly Cheese Steak, Part II

April 9, 2012 14 Comments

When I posted my first Philly Cheese Steak recipe on reddit.com, I knew I’d get a hailstorm of protests from cheese steak purists and Philly natives. Where’s the cheese? The meat isn’t chopped right! Why did you put peppers in there?? You’re doing it all wrong!!! Calm down, guys. I know. It’s cool. I’ll make…read more »

Well guys, there is still a whole bunch of prime rib in my fridge. Like…a really scary amount. Two people cannot reasonably be expected to eat that much meat. But they can try! So, in a valiant effort to put a solid dent into our leftover roast, I chopped up a few slices and sauteed the pieces…read more »

Roasted Prime Rib Sandwich

April 1, 2012 Leave a Comment

Today marks Day 1 of my attempt to eat all the leftovers from a 7lb prime rib roast before it goes bad, and/or we get sick of beef. I don’t know how long our enthusiasm for this endeavor is going to last. 7lbs is a lot of meat. But, while my love for juicy prime rib remains un-dampened…read more »

Pulled Pork Sandwich

March 3, 2012 6 Comments

The last time I had homemade slow-cooker pulled pork was at the Summer Supper Club’s Southern Night 2 years go (holy crap, has it really been that long??). I made shrimp & grits, Karen brought over about a ton of tangy pork, and I think there were green beans, potatoes, and biscuits involved too. Yeah….read more »

Open Faced BLTs

Have you guys discovered the joys of oven-crisped bacon yet? If you haven’t you’re really missing out. It is so good! Better than griddle bacon, better than pan-fried bacon…this stuff is in a league of its own. For real. To be fair, bacon is pretty much always delicious; but, something magical happens when you cook it…read more »
