Best of The Best

I really do not intend to sound ungrateful or unappreciative of the effort my dear mother makes every Sunday to prepare a fabulous meal for the family.  However, I am sure when you were growing up there were a few meals that when your mom told you thats what you were having for dinner, you would like nothing better than to run down the street and join the neighbors, regardless of what they were serving.  No matter...

Im really not a big fan of raw onions these days. I find they tend to outstay their welcome. But if you can get some really nice sweet ones they do have their place. Weve been growing some extremely sweet, mild ones and eating them mostly in slices on hamburgers. I decided it was time to branch out with them a bit. Sprinkling them with salt then letting them rest makes them even milder, and a bit softer in texture than they would...

When my children were little, I tried to “invent” recipes but I was not very good at it. One recipe that is embarrassing to admit was a combination of plain tomato sauce, ground beef and Italian seasonings (cooked for about 20 minutes) and then mixed into elbow macaroni; that was it…not even any cheese! It was horrid by today’s standards, but the kids always ate a lot of it and I did not know any better. Hey…that was 30+ years...

Ive been thinking about using my iPhone to do more quick movies for days in between the recipe videos. You may have seen my recent, How to Eat a Hamburger demo, which is the only type of thing I thought I should be using the überphone for. That was until I saw my friend Brookes short film teasing a post shes doing on a recent press trip to New Orleans. When I finished watching it, two thoughts immediately percolated up. The...

Yum, Yum, Yum! This chicken was so tasty and the sauce was perfect for dipping bread in. There isnt much of a recipe for this. Once again, I just threw in what I had and it turned out perfect! I bought a whole chicken cut up and split it up so that we would have two meals. I dont like the taste of reheated chicken so I didnt want leftovers. I made this for two but you can use as much chicken as you want just increase the...

There are people who like I always looking for good sources for recipes and cookbooks. Sometimes the mood hits you and you just try something different. One of the most common questions my wife and I questions each other is "what you feel like today eat?" The answer is always "I do not know what you want?"This small conversation is probably several days a week in most households. The other question is, "what we are for the friends...

I’ve received so many emails asking whether or not I’m doing my Super Bowl prediction this year, using Buffalo chicken wing bones. As you may know, we shocked the world last year with our absolutely spot-on prognostication that the Packers would win, cover the spread, and that the score would exceed the over/under line.Well, great news! As soon as the teams are set, I’ll will toss the bones, and the rest will be up to you. And...

Here I am, world! In all my naturally wavy/frizzy/birds nest hair glory. This is why I dont go anywhere without an umbrella, allow my hair to get wet in a pool, and avoid most activities that would result in my perspiring. THIS is what would happen.Like so many frizzy-haired girls before me, I grew up wanting stick straight hair. When I was 11, I started chemically straightening my hair, but since I started coloring my hair...
