Can’t decide what to make for dinner? Our entree archives covers delicious pork, beef, and chicken recipe tips and ideas.
While there is no replacement for real, slow wood smoked ribs, we did want to see how close we could get using other methods of cooking. Since the whole premise of smoking food is to cook it low and slow while imparting smokey flavor, sous vide cooking was the obvious alternative for how we’d cook …
Carne Molida or Ground beef is made up of pure skeletal muscles. Some of the popular stock include ground chuck, sirloin, or round cuts of Carne Molida.

Do you love Thanksgiving and Christmas food? Has your family always been the turkey type for the holidays? Are you now on your own or with your significant other and can’t justify a 20 pound turkey for two? Most of all, does chicken just not sound all that special? Well have I got the perfect …
Sliders are an all time favorite of mine. Even as a Californian, I am one of those people who would take White Castle slider over an In-N-Out Burger any day of the week (my fiancé and I debate over this constantly). For me, it’s all about the steamed onion in a slider. Yes, that is …

When I think of childhood food joys I often think of quesadillas. There was just something so easy about putting some cheese in a tortilla and popping it on the stove or in the microwave for an easy afternoon snack. Quesadillas were the late night snack food of sleepovers, all night study sessions, and one …
Turkeys are inherently difficult things to cook, because they are big, often frozen, very lean, and have bones. Plus, we don’t eat them very often and so we rarely get practice cooking them. Just ask yourself, how many times have you made chicken breast compared to how many times you have baked a turkey? So …

Most commonly, this is during Thanksgiving, partially due to needing a bird big enough to feed a large gathering of people. If you’re in charge of cooking the turkey …
For those of us who do not regularly eat seafood or live near the ocean, you may not be that familiar with swordfish in cuisine. It might sound like an exotic fish that is a bit intimidating to eat; however, it actually has a very mellow taste and is great for cooking. What is Swordfish? …
