An online home for my personal recipes.

• Italian Beef

  This is a classic slow cooker dish that is cheap, easy to make, and delicious.

• Pasta & Bean Soup

  This is just a mid-west version of pasta e fagioli (think Olive Garden). It's really fast to make and is hearty enough to be a meal on it's own.

• Red Lentil Soup

  Red lentils and lots of spices make this a great soup for early fall. Also, it doesn't hurt that it's so dang simple to make.

• Marinated Olives

  Whole Kalamata olives marinated simply in lemon juice and fresh chilies.

• Moroccan Spiced Meatballs

  A simple meatball recipe made with a North African blend of spices and fresh mint

• Tomato and Garlic Frittata

  I make a lot of frittatas for some reason. They sound really fancy, but are in fact, quite easy to make. It's a great way to use up a bunch of ingredients.

• Roasted Potatoes

  This makes a quick side dish of simple roasted new potatoes with olive oil and parsley. Parboiling the potatoes first really makes the whole thing, so don't skip this step.

• Chili

  This is my favorite chili recipe. I like to experiment with different types of beans and I always add a bottle of good, strong American IPA for a great flavor.

• Asian Pork Tacos

  Korean fusion style tacos with marinated pork loin, fresh cucumber, and cilantro.
