It occurred me to the other day that while I’ve probably made countless chicken recipes over my cooking career, I’ve never actually made a WHOLE chicken at once.  I’ll admit that secretly, I had always been a little intimidated by the whole chicken.  Something about it being broken down into its various parts always made […]

Frequently I get home from a long day at work, take a look in my fridge and pantry, and realize I haven’t been to the grocery store in at least 2 weeks….Needless to say, in times like this, it’s important to fall back on some classic, simple food that you probably have most of the […]

I believe that even if you aren’t a great cook, as long as you can master a few basic dishes, you’ll always be able to please a crowd with a meal.  On top of that, sometimes it’s nice to just stick with a few simple ingredients because most food does not need a lot of […]

This garlicky shrimp dish would be excellent […]
