Herbed Leg of Lamb
When Mary Kate and I sit down to plan posts ahead, we look at the calendar and try to pick things to develop that go with upcoming holidays. When we were looking at St. Patrick’s Day, we were sort of stumped, because we’ve already got a corned beef recipe, and we really weren’t that familiar…

Spring Garlic Sauce with Roasted Potatoes
When we were working on our editorial calendar, Denise said she was working on ham steaks, which you saw last week. We thought that ham seemed like a traditional Easter dish, so maybe we should also consider a side dish for it. I LOVE side dishes. The first thing that came to mind was scalloped…

Chicken Fried Steak with White Pepper Gravy
My mother made cube steak sometimes when we were kids, but wasn’t one for sauces, so I wasn’t introduced to white pepper gravy until I began ordering it at diners. I liked nothing better than going to a greasy spoon diner after a night out with friends if we’d been imbibing, or as a recovery…

Cider Pot Roast
While I know there are people out there who dream of steak dinners, prime rib, or some other fancy cut of cow, my all-time favorite beef dinner is a good pot roast. I’ve been wanting to post a pot roast dinner to the blog for years now, but I hadn’t figured out how to get…

Atomic Fireball Liqueur
Atomic Fireball Liqueur Remember when we were little kids and you could get Atomic Fireball individual candies for a penny or five cents depending on the era and rate of inflation? I wonder how much they are these days. In any case, I was trying to make a spiced cranberry liqueur when I came…
