Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
I’ve never had chicken fried steak before, although I’ve seen it in restaurants. I always wondered why it was called chicken fried if it was steak. When I received a couple of cube steaks in my meat box at the co-op, I decided to give it a try. Pin It

I love it when DH gets inspired in the kitchen. Yesterday, he wanted to make beer cheese soup. It turned out delicious!

DH came up with this recipe after we saw something similar at a local restaurant. The challenge was a homebrew party where you had to either make something with beer or pair it with beer. This recipe did both, and won 3rd place (as judged by Michigan Beer Blog).
While surfing the web, DH discovered a few oatmeal recipes that called for an egg, to up the protein as well as make it more creamy. Since then he has been tinkering, and I think this recipe is about as perfect as it can get.
I thawed out a chicken from my local farmer in anticipation of this week’s Dark Days Challenge meal. DH wanted to try brining it since he claims my crock pot version turns out too dry. “Store chickens have all that stuff injected in it,” he said, “so I want to experiment and see if I can get a free range chicken more moist.”
When the Culinary Arts College at Baltimore International College invited me to test one of their recipes, I knew as soon as I saw it that I would get DH to try the Barbeque Rib Sauce. There’s nothing like DH’s smoked ribs, but I’ve often wished he would do a sauce with them. It was the perfect opportunity!
The long-awaited burger cook-off was yesterday. It was so much fun!
This is the latest installment of DH’s quest for the perfect burger cook-off competition recipe. It’s from the book Char-Broil’s Everybody Grills! I’ve enjoyed having some time off from the kitchen, and surprisingly I’m not sick of burgers yet! Probably because these are all so different.
Yes, DH is still trying to find the perfect burger recipe. Next up is the Swiss Mushroom Burger from a recipe that he got from the Sizzle on the Grill users forums.
This is test burger #2 for DH’s burger competition practice. We decided to enlist some additional testers and DH made them for our friends who were camping.
