1Photoshop Phriday: Irwin Uteritz

Photoshop Phriday: Irwin Uteritz

May 20, 2016

Surprise, surprise! I got my act together to do a Photoshop Phriday post! Irwin Uteritz attended Michigan in the early 1920s and from 1921-23 was the Wolverine’s quarterback under coach Fielding Yost.  As if balancing football and coursework weren’t enough, Uteritz was also an infielder for the Michigan baseball team (and a captain in 1923).  During […]

2Butternut Squash Quick Bread

Butternut Squash Quick Bread

Sep 21, 2015

Last week the weather signaled that it was fall and this week the produce available at the farmer’s market followed suit.  In a few days the calendar will finally get with the program and make it official.  Instead of seeing produce stacks at the market piled high with zucchini and summer squash there were a […]

3Zucchini Ribbon Pasta

Zucchini Ribbon Pasta

Aug 24, 2015

I think I tend to naturally gravitate towards fall and winter style meals so summer meal planning can be tough for me.  I’m always looking for simple dishes that don’t require too much active cook time when it is hot out.  The last few days have been some of the hottest this summer (thought it […]

4Chicken Tacos with Cabbage Slaw

Chicken Tacos with Cabbage Slaw

Aug 3, 2015

When I first started following various food blogs several years ago I was amazed at the incredible meals that were posting every few days.  It seemed like living in the house of one of these bloggers must have been like having a top rated restaurant in your house.  Of course now I’ve learned that this isn’t […]

5Phyllo Dough Quiche

Phyllo Dough Quiche

Jul 20, 2015

In the summer we make a lot of ‘kitchen sink’ type meals.  Every two weeks we get a box of produce from Frog Holler Farm and plan meals around it.  Inevitably after about a week and a half we still have lots of veggies and greens left but no concrete plans for them.  With the […]

6Pesto Quinoa Bowls

Pesto Quinoa Bowls

Jul 13, 2015

Dedicated readers will remember two years ago when I wrote about the bounty of pesto we had in our freezer.  We had received a large amount from my wife’s parents, so much that it took us three years to use it all!  I should be clear that isn’t a complaint, we were able to use […]

7Sourdough Quick “Bread”

Sourdough Quick “Bread”

Jul 6, 2015

I haven’t gotten much use out of my sourdough starter the past few weeks and instead have just been keeping it happy and fed in the refrigerator.  I was gone last weekend and am out of town five of the next six weekends, so I don’t see that changing anytime soon.  It is certainly possible […]

8Mongolian Beef

Mongolian Beef

May 11, 2015

There was a time in my life where I found comfort in mediocre Chinese take-out food, but no more.  Developing the ability to cook and create a wide variety of dishes has gone a long way to help with that.  Graduating from college probably did too. We go out to eat often enough (maybe once a month, […]

9Banana Bread

Banana Bread

Mar 16, 2015

Everyone I know has at least one strange habit when it comes to food.  It might be a specific way you peel a fruit, prepare a dish, or eat your favorite food.  For example, at a young age I picked up from my dad the habit of eating grilled cheese by cutting strips off each side […]

10Six Seed Soda Bread for #BreadBakers

Six Seed Soda Bread for #BreadBakers

Mar 10, 2015

This month Karen of Karen’s Kitchen Stories is hosting the #BreadBakers event and selected ‘Seeds’ as our theme.  I figured to truly get into the spirit I should pick a recipe loaded with different kinds of seeds.  Given that next week is St. Patrick’s Day I thought this would be as good a time as […]
