Happy Sunday all! I hope everyone is doing well, staying safe and cooking up a storm like we are. Since the Illinois stay-at-home order was extended through May 30th, I’ve decided to pick up a few new hobbies in my ‘spare’ time to keep me positive and staying […]
I love, love, LOVE being inspired to try new dishes at home after experiencing them out in the wild at a restaurant. We recently went to one of my favorites – Parachute in Chicago – and ordered the pork tonkatsu (traditionally a Japanese dish), which just blew me […]
Happy SPRING everyone!! I am truly geeking out at the sunshine, warmer temps and flowers starting to poke through the dirt! We planted bulbs for the first time last fall, so we’re excited to see if they made it through the squirrel scavengers. So far, we’re looking good! […]

Happy bunny day dudes! I know I should be posting ham and all that jazz for Easter, but things have just been so busy around these parts the last couple o’ weeks that I just never got my act together to plan a ham-my post. Luckily I do […]
I’ve been inspired by my pal Debbie over at The Mountain Kitchen to try this whole Meatless Monday thang. While the name of this blog and my life are heavily influenced by meat – the barbecues, the meatloafs, the tacos, the steak-ums and more – I really love […]
