Smooth, chunky, salty, sweet. However you like your peanut butter there’s nothing more satisfying than making your own homemade peanut butter. Roasting and pureeing raw peanuts allows you to control the amount of seasonings and consistent that you desire and it’s so much fresher than any store bought variety. Homemade peanut butter is quick and…
Pimms No.1 Sangria Cocktail
I originally developed this recipe for Ballard Design company’s blog howtodecorate.com. It’s a great warm weather cocktail and this recipe makes enough for a large party. This is a twist on a traditional Pimm’s cocktail which is served at The Napoleon House in New Orleans and is a Mardi Gras tradition. Nothing says it’s party…
The Bushwick Spice Trade Cocktail by Mason Shaker
The newest addition to my cookbook collection is a cocktail book called ‘Shake’ by the boys at Mason Shaker. You might have seen their creative crafting of a Mason jar into a large cocktail shaker.

How To Make Chicken Stock
One of the biggest and easiest improvements you can make to your home cooking is to use your own stocks. There’s absolutely no comparison to a good homemade stock. The grocery store versions are typically laden with unnecessary salt and lack flavor. This is the way I make stock in any restaurant I have worked…
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta and Mustard Vinaigrette
Most food bloggers I follow and admire are great at writing “cutsie” blog posts about their daily lives which somehow tie into the recipe.

Roasted Vegetables with Walnut Pesto and Fall Garden Update
Even with temperatures reaching to the 80’s regularly this month we are full swing into the fall season. My summer landscaping plants are starting to wilt, leaves are piling up on the deck and my fall vegetable garden is full of life. Kale seedlings I planted (a little too early) over a month ago…
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Recipe
Chocolate. Bourbon. Pecans. Yum! This twist on a traditional pecan pie recipe adds two of my favorite flavors, chocolate and bourbon. The bourbon adds a smoky sweetness which compliments the chocolate. This recipe can be prepared in a matter of minutes thanks to store bought pie shells but would taste even better with homemade crusts….
5 Cocktail Recipes For The Weekend
Scouring the interwebs this week I came across some amazing drink recipes I thought I would share with you-and plan to make myself. 3 of the 5 contain bourbon or whisky which I tend to have a hankering for dark liquors as fall approaches. Enjoy! Elixir Bloody Mary-Liquor.com Bourbon Ginger Cider-Henry Happened Golden Ale Beer…
Broccoli Rabe with Toasted Pine Nuts
Ever walked by the produce aisle in the grocery store and noticed this broccoli look alike and wondered what it is? If you’ve haven’t cooked with broccoli rabe (pronounced “rob” and also known as rapini) you probably moved past it and went with the traditional broccoli.
