I need a little break from chicken and chicken recipes so I needed to do a little searching for a recipe like veal piccata in a lemon caper sauce that doesn’t use chicken. The recipe calls for veal which yes, does happen to come from the beef family but at least it is a different […]
To be perfectly honest, I am not a huge fan of catfish. There are people out there who love eating catfish and they will tell you various family gatherings involving a catfish fry somewhere down south that took place in the summer while the beer and whiskey flowed like the Mississippi river. I ain’t one of […]
I don’t know about you but crab cakes have always been a difficult appetizer to pass up. If it’s on the menu, there is a chance I will order them. This is done to satisfy the urge for some crab cakes while at the same time doing a little reconnaissance. You should always take note of […]
When it comes to chicken strips, most recipes call for flour breading of some kind. Wouldn’t it be nice however to coat them in something other than bread crumbs or panko (fun fact, also breadcrumbs)? To answer your question, yes it is possible.

In the US you probably at this dish stuffed with cheese and broccoli, or stuffed with cheese and ham resembling chicken cordon […]
I will never forget the first time sweetbreads introduced themselves to my taste buds. Both the flavor and texture where unlike anything else I previously experienced. Sweetbreads are a wonderful ingredient often seen on the menu of gourmet restaurants. I am a firm believer that what you can cook in a professional kitchen can also be recreated […]
I am a huge fan of restaurants that serve tapas or tapas style dining. I am the type of person who wants to try virtually everything on the menu. From the moment I pull up a chair I begin to peruse the menu often contemplating what to order, but it’s humanly impossible to eat full […]
Seafood tacos are hard to resist regardless of the filling. How about super crispy shrimp tacos? To me a perfectly cooked shrimp is one that has a slight crunch to the flesh and is not rubbery or chewy. This recipe however relies a panko breadcrumbs to really elevate the crunch factor.

There are times you need to leave the frying pan alone and reach for the door oven. It’s a great way of cutting down on fried food and having to dispose of cooking oil which is bad for the environment. These pork chop’s will having you not only satisfied but feeling good about your health […]
