Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted a nifty recipe for what we’re calling an Okra Crisp, born out of part of our home gumbo prep, but damned tasty, child’s play simple, and useful in so many other ways. Okra is a common sight on the Southern table, but this is far, far, […]
Friday Feast
Before we run out of oyster season I thought I’d drop this one in after drooling over it for a few months; roasting oysters at home is something anyone can do and provides a unique and damned tasty result. Kudos to the culinary team at Garden and Gun for dropping this easy tutorial a few […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this nifty recipe for a Carrot and Pepita Salad with Ginger Dressing, reaching for spring flavors now that we’ve swung from snow and record cold in Texas to spring in less than a fortnight. This one’s quick, easy, damned tasty, and would be a great side […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted a nifty trick we’ve been using for finishing and holding tempered chocolate – something you’ll be doing around Valentine’s day next year, and for other special occasions where great chocolate is needed. This makes a complicated process more or less child’s play, therefore your odds of […]
Just in time to help cover a busy week of winter that disrupted life a bit in our neck of the woods, the good folks at Garden and Gun dropped a nice piece on fire pit cooking – read it here. Not only are some foods tastier then ever when roasted or grill over a […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this nifty recipe for a Loaded Huevos Rancheros using the Tex Mex Chorizo and Ranchero Tomato Salsa (or sauce, pending your intentions in the kitchen that particular day) I’ve shared over the past several weeks. It doesn’t require a genius to pull this one together, but […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted a nifty recipe for this Ranchero Tomato Sauce / Salsa No. 1, originally pulled together a few years back for a friend’s Father’s Day celebration feed, though it’s become one of our favorites over time. Built around deep pepper flavors from dried anchos and guajillo peppers […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this nifty recipe for a damned tasty, homemade chorizo recipe – Chorizo Number 2 or Tex Mex Chorizo, one that we’ve been making for years at home and using in a host of recipes. If you’ve not picked a simple home meat grinder (the one I […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this nifty recipe for a Hasselback Chicken with Feta, Red Peppers, and Olives. I know, I know – we’d all rather be grilling even in January, but now and again roasting some plump, juicy chicken breasts in the oven suits the weather much better. This one […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this nifty recipe for a Simple Chicken Adobo, a recipe that we were gifted decades ago from a lovely Filipino couple we fished and recreated with back in the day. This one is crazy easy, and so damned tasty you’ll come back to it again and […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve post this nifty Jalapeño Garlic Cucumber Salad v. Quick Pickle recipe to add a quick and easy side (or salad) to your winter menu plans. This one scores big on the taste to effort scale and is simple enough for a kid to stir together. And for […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this nifty recipe for a fairly traditional Southern Toasted Pecan Blue Cheese Ball, a holiday and party table standout that’s been around so long it’s gone from old standby to kitschy cliche to being back in style again, probably because these babies taste so damn good. […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted this nifty recipe for what has become our go to Christmas Eve tamale these days (displacing our twenty-plus-year previous favorite recipe three years ago) – for sake of discussion let’s call it Christmas Eve Tamales #2. I’ve actually just posted the recipe to make the filling […]
Today over on the Older Bolder Life I’ve posted a damned nifty recipe for A Tex Mex Take on Grilled Tacos al Pastor, which by the way is taken to a whole new taco level by finishing things off with the Grilled Pineapple Habanero Salsa from last week. We’ve been chasing the perfect taco al […]
Unseasonably warm weather this past week, coupled with being stranded at home working on a training block for a new project, had me firing the grill more than I’d originally planned for the second week of December. Our compadre Chef Libby in Austin mentioned in passing last week a tacos al pastor recipe she and […]
