Mustard-Tarragon Chicken with Scallion-Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Getting to the point where I don’t need recipes has been liberating. Between staples that I always have on hand and then some random stuff in the fridge I can usually whip up something pretty tasty with minimal hassle. I still use recipes. There’s so much I don’t know in... Continue reading

Cookin’ For Dudes: Shrimp with Citrus Salsa

Been eating a bit unhealthy lately and needed to get back on the “I worked really hard to drop all that weight, don’t let yourself put that crap back on” train. In true Cookin’ For Dudes style, this has very few ingredients, comes together fast, and your significant other will... Continue reading

Grilled Snapper with Caramelized Pineapple-Serrano Butter and Pineapple Carrot Slaw

Summer. Kinda Hot, kinda humid. I wanted something refreshing and light but filling. I wanted something tried and true and something new. I wanted something with a little complexity and a higher than average degree of difficulty. I wanted to work for it, dammit. First stop, let's see what we... Continue reading

Thanks, Regina and Carolyne. It's a nice quick dish. Most quick dishes it seems are kinda loaded with fatty but tasty ingredients. I like this because it's quick and it's healthy.

Anniversary Redux

Hey, sweetuh: I thought I wrapped these up last year. As our anniversary has drawn closer I've been missing you something awful. Of course. There’s something that’s been eating at me. Gnawing away slow but steady and relentless. So many... Continue reading

Grilled Chicken and Stone Fruit Salad Blueberry-White Balsamic Vinaigrette

I'm taking a brief break from the surprisingly popular Cookin' for Dudes series. Mostly because every now and then I feel like gettin' all chef-y, or at least my closest approximation of it. I'd first played around with this thing a year ago and had a few things I wanted... Continue reading

Cookin' for Dudes: Sweet/Hot Chicken Curry - Goin' Subcontinental

Okay, dudes. We're going to the sub-continent. Getting our (pseudo) India on. You know how you are...you grill, maybe you've made a salad or two for your significant other. Let's show her(him) you have an international flair. The original to this comes from here. It's from the New York Times... Continue reading

Ground Turkey & Veggie Stir Fry

This one ain't for the dudes even though stir fry lends itself well to dude based cooking. It's all high heat and brute force, which is pretty much how dudes grill so you'd think it's be adaptable. For whatever reason, it isn't. I think it's the way you have to... Continue reading

Cookin' for Dudes: Weight Loss Special - Paprika Pork Chop Salad

Usually when I hear something is good for weight loss or is low cal or some such, I run like hell. Because I know I'm going to be eating some flavorless amalgam of barn sweepings and twigs. And, dude...I just can't. I didn't make this to be low calorie. It... Continue reading

Cookin' for Dudes: An awesome recipe THAT REQUIRES NO COOKING

(Featuring completely unsolicited advice on olive oil) The scene: it's a beautiful spring/summer day. But it's hot. Really, really hot. Despite that, you and your Best One did something outside and active. Took a run or a bike ride. A hike. Built a gazebo in your backyard. Played with your... Continue reading

Cookin' for Dudes: Fast, Easy (but weirdly classy) Lemon Pasta

Long week. Multiple cities. Landed at the airport, got in the car and drove right into the teeth of Friday Rush Hour traffic. By the time I got off the freeway 30 minutes later I'd gone from a rather involved Farro and Breaded Sole thing I had in my head... Continue reading

Lime-Oregano-Serrano Marinated Grilled Chicken Thighs

This nearly qualifies as a "Cooking for Dudes" entry but breaks the cardinal rule...NO GRILL. So it's a regular entry. That's just the way it's gonna have to be. This is, easily, the best thing I've ever created on the grill. By a lot. And it's super simple. Behold the... Continue reading

Cooking for Dudes: Chipotle-Lime Chicken with Red Wine Pan Sauce

I'm going to be erratically posting on the topic of Cooking for Dudes. Because I have learned a great truth. Having this blog and posting cooking stuff on Facebook and, maybe most relevant, having been married to Jill, I've learned something that all my male brethren need to internalize...girls like...

Hoisin Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Lemon-Miso Grilled Asparagus

Hardcore grillers will tell you any kind of weather is grillin' weather. I've seen my neighbor out firing up some flame in near zero temps. I'm not that brave. Leaving alone for a moment what it may imply about climate change, its April 1st. It's 62 outside. We will be... Continue reading

Hot day. Want some salad. Got some shrimp. Let's do something. Let's do a nice spiced and grilled shrimp on a bed of Arugula and Fennel and Parsley. Throw in some oranges. Make a lemon vinaigrette to top it off. Fresh. Light. And, with just a little planning, fast. This... Continue reading

Ground Turkey and Roast Chickpea Scramble

Seems like I know a lot of folks who are swearing off grains. While I'm not gonna be joining you on the no grains train I could certainly do better on the "everything in moderation front". Probably, I eat enough grain-based stuff I'm a line item on Archer Daniels Midland's... Continue reading

It's time to shut this thing down. It started as a way for me to get things out that were festering. And a way to share my memories of Jill. It's mutated into something else. A way to cling to... Continue reading

Cold Weather Recipes: Making the House Smell Goooooood

Minnesota, after having thought it was Seattle for the week leading up to and including Christmas (30's-40's and raining) remembered it was Minnesota and cooled off dramatically. When the weather gets cold I, not being a winter sports guy, hibernate. "Cold" is a relative term. For me, up here in... Continue reading

It's getting colder at night. 52 degrees, but a Minnesota 52 that carries a whisper of winter with it. Something cold from the top of the world humming underneath the breeze. She loved this time of year. She loved nearly... Continue reading

The Longest Drive

This is the cruel hammer of grief, of loss. No matter how rational you try to be. How much you know it’s a losing game with no resolution but another ass kicking, you cannot stop the “maybe’s”. They linger, they... Continue reading

Tomate Frito with Yucatán Spiced Chicken

The real thing worth paying attention to here is the sauce, Tomate Frito. It has noting to do with the abomination that is the Frito. Frito, in Spanish, means fried. So when you're eating those chips, you're eating Fried. Which likely makes it the most accurately titled processed food product... Continue reading
