All-Purpose Dry Rub

IMG_0036rub

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and and it’s time to put away the winter coat. Spring is certainly here, and I can’t wait to have backyard barbeque parties.

The Basic Bagel

IMG_9851basicbagel

I like baking bagels because it’s more forgiving and takes less time than baking regular breads. Since my in-laws gave me their almost unused Kitchen Aid mixer, bagel making has gotten even easier.

Culinary School Journey-4 Fabrication Madness

IMG_0309chickenfabrication2

Last week was all about fabrication. We filleted flounder, sea bass and mackerel and broke down whole chickens and fabricated steaks from strip loins. It was a tough week.

When you think about cheesesteaks, you probably think of Philadelphia. But there are many alternatives to the traditional philly cheesesteak such as the Italian beef from Chicago and my personal favorite, Chartroose Caboose, a local cheesesteak chain in Kansas City. I have had many cheesesteaks including all of the famous shops in Philly (Pat’s, Jim’s, [...]

Shrimp and Avocado Salad Sandwich

IMG_9807shrimpandavocadosandwich

Recently, I feel like I’ve been getting better at picking avocados. In the past, I’ve often ended up with over-ripened avocados and ended up having to cut off the discolored part, but the past few weeks my avocado selections have been perfect. When they’re too green, I put them in a brown bag and wait [...]

My husband and I were visiting friends in Connecticut to celebrate their daughter’s two-year old birthday. I offered to bring some appetizers, but it was a hectic weekend, and I knew I wouldn’t have time to prepare anything complicated. After three hours of sleep, I woke myself up and went to the kitchen. I had [...]
