Just fun. I’ll admit something to you all that not too many people know about me: I still eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Like… a lot of them. At least a few a week. And much like...
Note from Betsy: I hate this photo. Over the years, I’ve cooked around 700 different recipes that have been posted on Macheesmo. My wife, Betsy, has tried almost all of them. In my first cookbo...
Simple. Wonderful. This post is about a little known pasta dish that is about as Italian as it gets… meaning that it’s simple, but finicky. I had never heard of it before actually visitin...
Hello, beautiful. I frequently ship baked goods to Betsy’s office so I can get them away from my mouth. As a result, this gchat conversation happened this week with one of her coworkers: I thin...
Last year Betsy and I spent a lot of our summer weekends travelling. While it was fun visiting friends and attending weddings, it was also exhausting. This year we are trying to be a bit more grounde...
A meal of a salad! There is one salad that I think of anytime I want to eat just a salad for a meal: A Caesar salad. Not only are the ingredients pretty simple, but because a Caesar salad normally ha...
Take that summer heat! Betsy should actually be writing this post. These were her idea and creation. I just supervised. She found these cool little popsicle molds at some store and couldn’t res...
Many years ago, when Betsy and I had just started living together, I went through a phase where I tried to collect and use coupons at the grocery store to save some money. I tried it for a few months...
When Betsy and I are planning a trip these days, one of the first places we look is VRBO (Vacation rental by owner). Basically, it’s a site where owners put up their houses for rent for a few d...
SWOON! There is a certain pancake that has been following Betsy and I around lately. The breakfast dish is centered around light and fluffy corn cakes that are stuffed with delicious things. Most rec...
This weekend I’m taking a quick trip with a few guys to one of the casino towns outside of Denver called Black Hawk. As some of you may know, I enjoy my games of chance. Specifically, I’m...
You jerk, tempeh. Here’s a challenge for you. Find the biggest meat eater you can find. Maybe it’s your father, maybe it’s your coworker, maybe it’s YOU. Invite them over for ...
Under. Rated. Guys, I’m addicted to sardines. It’s kind of a weird thing to be addicted to since I’m pretty sure most people are just lukewarm about them. But they are so good. Sard...
In honor of fixing my grill that I set on fire a few weeks ago, I wanted to do a fun Tuesday treat related to the grill! After all, it’s summer time and hopefully you’ll get a chan...
These were better than expected. I’ve always been skeptical of the lettuce wrap. This is how it usually goes down when I try to eat something wrapped in nothing more than lettuce: 1) I pick up ...
Bloody delicious. There are two questions I immediately ask myself when creating recipes: 1) Is there any way I can add booze to this? 2) Is there any way I can add Sriracha to this? Any time I can s...
Last month I was contacted by Lipman Produce to do some recipe development for them for a new website they launched. For full disclosure, they did pay me to do the project, but I love the final recip...
A light and delicious pasta. For those of you who voted for a fancy pasta in last week’s poll, I have to apologize. You were probably expecting some fancy ravioli. A simple pasta primavera is m...
I don’t know if you’ve been to a candy shop recently, but fudge is fudgin’ expensive! It’s just sugar and chocolate but you would think that it was filled with gold bullion. W...
It turns out that if people discover you run a semi-successful food blog, they want to eat at your house. I imagine that chefs have a similar problem. The main distinction, of course, is that I’...
I ate a bunch of these... I’m not entirely sure who was the genius behind serving breadsticks with pizza. It’s like some mad marketing genius at Pizza Hut woke up one day and exclaimed, &...
Action shot. Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! I kind of didn’t mean to, but I posted basically all Tex-Mex stuff this week. If you need some inspiration for this Cinco de Mayo Saturday, make some ...
Betsy and I are headed out of town today to spend the weekend with her Mom and Uncle in Carbondale. The original plan was to do a bunch of hiking over the weekend, but I’m still way below 100% ...
OOPS. It’s generally never a good thing to smell burning rubber while you are cooking dinner. This means something has gone horribly wrong. A few days ago one of our very good friends (and Twit...
Hello, beautiful. Something very fortunate is happening this year. Cinco de Mayo is on a Saturday. That means that you can bypass the jarred queso and quick Tex-Mex and make something really outstand...
I put out a Twitter request last week for suggestions for the next Homemade Trials and got the most responses for salsa! That seemed to make sense considering that it’s Cinco de Mayo this weeke...
Jar of delicious. Single serving spice packets are the demon spawn of the spice world. True story. They are a buck or two a piece and seem like a good deal, but you use them and then you have to buy ...
I’m frequently tempted to start doing videos on Macheesmo. If I would’ve done a video on this post, it would’ve been called The Cursing Chef. It wouldn’t have been appropriate...
Last year I spent a good amount of time building some raised beds in my yard for a small garden. This year I had to hold off on getting them ready and planting them due to my knee surgery. I actually...
Pretty and delicious. When I made my asparagus pizza a few weeks ago I came to the realization that it’s almost easier to sliver vegetables than it is to chop them. This is a bit counter-intuit...
