Slow-Cooked Blueberry Cobbler

Chicken Stuffed with Gouda, Prosciutto and Pecans

Chicken is easy to abuse. It’s so simple to prepare, it’s good for you, it’s filling, it’s abundant, it’s inexpensive, and it takes a real genius to burn it. So, if you’re not careful, you’ll find yoursel (read full article)

Ancho Chile Salsa with Habanero

Summer isn’t exactly the season where people dive into spicy heated Mexican cooking. It seems most people sway towards pasta salads, fruity cocktails and grilling. Fair enough. But my Señor Verde’s Chicken Enchiladas went over big both (read full article)

Grilled Herb Shrimp with Mango Salsa

Spicy Apple Lamb Meatballs

I didn’t know this until just a few minutes ago, but apparently in the apartment complex that is home to Chez Tv Food and Drink, I now have a reputation to protect. I was just at my front door, key in hand and two bags of groceries at my feet. (read full article)

Open Face Crab Burgers & Red Pepper Dressing

The end of LOST last week unfortunately also spells the end to hosting my regular Tuesday night viewing and food parties.  It’s been a great way for me to keep the new recipes coming through the kitchen during the work week, and a chance to s (read full article)

Portobello Buffalo Burgers

The only regret I have in putting this meal together last night was that I neglecgted to take any picutres of the streams of juice that dripped from these finished burgers, snaked around our fingers as we ate, and rained down onto our plates.  If y (read full article)

Zesty Italian Barbeque Meatballs

Over the weekend I broke out the Little Slow Cooker That Could to brew myself up some phenomenally good Italian Barbeque Meatballs, and I learned a valuable lesson.  Sticking around all afternoon while the aroma of phenomenally good Italian Barbequ (read full article)

MG’s “Almost Famous” Tacos

If you can’t go more than a week without a taco, you need to come by my place sometime. Tacos usually hit my table at least every seven days, packed with well-seasoned chicken or turkey simmered for at least ninety minutes in a bath of chopped (read full article)

Cheese and Tomato Sausage Bake

I’m leaving for a weekend in San Francisco in less than 24 hours. Very excited about it. Sadly, I picked the weekend of the Los Angeles Grilled Cheese International to leave town. Wish I could do both, but truthfully, I am a man who rarely (read full article)

Bobcat Burgers and Medallion Potato Fries

No, there is NO bobcat meat in this recipe. The “bobcat” element of this burger is the “bobcat slaw,” an odd combination (to me, anyway) of cabbage, white vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, celery seed and mustard. It gives this (read full article)

Baked Falafel with Yogurt Sauce (I’m Afraid to Pulse)

The first few months I owned my food processor, I didn’t notice that there was a button on it that said “PULSE.”  Mmmm… that’s a lie.  I did notice the pulse button, but I was afraid of it.  So I just chose to believ (read full article)
