There is nothing easier or more impressive than perfectly roasted pulled pork. I also love it because I can do the cooking once, and have enough for multiple different meals. My intention with this recipe was to make my own spin on a Cuban sandwich which usually incorporates sliced ham,...
For the last five years, Saveur Magazine has published their Best Food Blog Awards, which I find incredibly interesting! The 2014 food blog of the year is i am a food blog, and I've had a lot of fun exploring Stephanie's recipes, amazing photography, and sense of simplicity and great taste when...
So a few weeks ago we gave a shout out to Afro Fusion Cuisine for being a great local brand with quality food products that we endorse. I thought I'd share with you all how I like to use my favorite Afro Fusion product: Mama Deacon Original Jerk BBQ Sauce....
It's farmers market season, and I made it all the way down to South Shore Farmers Market a couple of weeks ago. It's great to see so many other small business owners in one place - from jam to cheese to bakery and coffee - I can't get enough. On...
I can't resist breaking the grill out any night possible in the summer! Luckily we beat the rain last night and got this feast on the table. This recipe is an effort to keep it a little bit healthy, and 100% delicious! Here is our Recipe for Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Salad! 1...
Since we're smack in the middle of grilling season, I thought I'd share the recipe for one of my favorite ways to make a burger. Recently, I was lucky enough to get some fresh, organic beef from a farmer out of Westby, WI (you should check out her funny farm stories...
Do you think that because we live in a climate where winter can be so harsh, we appreciate summer that much more? I am sure loving the weather, and dedicated to spending as much time outdoors as possible! Which means the less time I spend on dinner, and the more...
Ahhhhh summer. We've waited so long for this here in Wisconsin, and I don't want to miss a single opportunity to enjoy the fresh fruits and herbs that flourish here! Except I get busy. And I don't know how to make jam. And I feel the fresh bounty of the...
In an effort to eat a little better, support local business, and stretch our cooking creativity, Mrs. TG and I signed up to try an organic produce delivery service called Brewers Organics. Our first box shipped last week, and here's how the experience went: It was easy to sign up for...
When Mrs. Tall Guy and I started working out with our personal trainer, Karen at Push Functional Fitness, a few months ago, we didn't expect to get cooking advice thrown in on the side. But here we are, following her blog, drooling over the healthy, fresh meals and snacks she creates,...
With our busy life, often we don't have time to make a good breakfast. This recipe is easy and let's us cook once and eat leftovers throughout the week. You can spice it up, or tone it down depending upon what type of sausage you use - I especially like the...
Tall Guy and I have been trying to eat healthier breakfasts. The problem we run into is that most healthy, tasty breakfast foods require preparation time-which we never have. And we're a little tired of cereal and waffles. So imagine my delight when I found Monica at The Yummy Life's recipes...
We made chili over the weekend and needed something to accompany it. We typically do cornbread, but just weren't in the mood for it. We found a couple sweet potato biscuit recipes and decided that would be a good option. Below is what we pulled together. Something to mention-make sure...
A year ago, a friend of ours recommended using coconut oil as a moisturizer. She told us it's great on dry skin, especially feet and hands during these cold Wisconsin winters. She was so right! Especially when we are in the midst of lots of catering jobs, we wash our...
Prior to this recipe, we have never cooked with butternut squash. We've seen lots of recipes in magazines and online using it in various capacities-risotto, soup, lasagna, souffles. When we saw a pizza recipe, we thought this is something we could sign up for. We took some basic tips from...
