After the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory, Joey and a friend traveled to Kansas City for the parade. Apparently, the experience is less than glamorous, and he came home after a long day pretty exhausted from standing outside for hours with no access to food or water and little access to any bathroom facilities. (But with …

Melt their heart with ice cream sandwiches
With Joey out of the house a few evenings ago, I decided it was time to clean another random ingredient out of the pantry and settled on a red velvet cake mix that I don’t even remember purchasing. With Valentine’s Day looming, I thought it was perfect. When I finally got through all my baking, …

I ‘Congo’ on and on about these great cookie bars
I’m always on the hunt for easy recipes to feed a crowd, and as I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I found a great cookie bar recipe that fit the bill. And then I forgot to take a photo before my crowd inhaled every last one. So, with the Super Bowl in my sights, I …

Try a recipe that’s ‘taquito’ happiness
As a general rule, I avoid a lot of specialty appliances in my kitchen. While I’ve been tempted in the past to consider a rice cooker or a cake pop baker, I haven’t given in—mostly because I have no idea where I would store such contraptions. But I do have a couple trendy pieces that …
Candy bar cheesecake brings king-sized flavor
We have a yearly tradition of getting together with our friends for the first round of the NFL playoffs. We eat, yell at the TV and have a good time. It’s one of the few times during the year we all set aside to spend time together. This year, we decided to wait for our …

A quick Cajun dish will do ‘rice’ly
During a recent lazy weekend, we were getting a meal ready to eat in front of the television to watch a basketball game. As is often the case, Joey and I decided to share duties in the kitchen to get our meal prepared. Joey was going to cook a rack of ribs, and I told …
Get shakin’ with salted caramel brownies
I have been on a popcorn kick lately when I’m in the mood for a snack. Really, to be accurate, I should say that both I and our schnauzer, K.C., have been on a popcorn kick lately, since I never eat a bowl of it alone if she can help it. There’s something about that …
Sugar cookies had me at ‘Jell-O’
A few months ago, Joey and I moved into a new house, and I must confess that my pantry is still an absolute mess. I often reference my pantry in this column, but up until we moved, my “pantry” has always been a large, open bookshelf in my kitchen, so a lot of my food …
This no-bake recipe is just ‘mint’ to be
I suspect that one of my New Year’s resolutions this year is not quite compatible with most everyone else’s, mostly because it involves some treat making. Joey pointed out that our freezer was starting to get a little ridiculously full of random ingredients I planned on using at a later date, so I started digging …
You’ll be sweet on these roasted potatoes
Despite it being the week before Christmas, I have yet to make my normal pile of sweets. I generally bake at least a double batch of peppernuts, and there’s often something that requires melting almond bark in my double boiler and spreading waxed paper on every open counter space. I actually have a variety of …
