All Recipes | February 24, 2020 | By

I originally posted a version of this recipe a few years ago and received rave reviews about it, so I wanted to post it again.

I  was not the perfectionist with the pictures and stories as I am now, but the recipe is really worth sharing.

I hope you enjoy.

 

Did someone say Football?

That’s right kid’s. The Super Bowl is right around the corner and to me that means food.

“Don’t you mean football?”….

Nope…I’m not a huge football fan ..but I do love food….so on with the show.

Oh yeah, St. Patrick’s Day is March 17th, and that can only mean one thing.
Getting drunk at 9 am??  No…….well, maybe..but it’s a “day for wearing of the green” and other kick-ass Irish traditions, like making Irish soda bread, watching the parade on tv,  listening to Irish music and ..ok, perhaps getting drunk early in the morning.

Many of you don’t know that St. Patrick was not even born in Ireland, in fact..it is said that he may have been,,,ugh..don’t shoot the messenger, Italian. Yup.
Waiter…extra whiskey in my coffee please.

Grilling | May 25, 2015 | By

Memorial Day is a very important day. If it’s not a very important day to you…it should be.

A day to remember, a day to continue living and a day to give thanks to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Their lives. 

I like to honor those that gave so much in my prayers and honor my family and friends my grillin’ like a villain.
