Thanksgiving Leftover Recipe – Easy Turkey Benedict

Cyber Monday I think they call it, for chefs it’s the day of reckoning. Turkey 4 days after the holiday? C’mon now…Opening the restaurant at 5 am this morning I “found” a couple of pieces of turkey breast, a cup or so of gravy and wondered what I could whip up with it in about [...]

Corn Dogs Recipe

So I have been wanting (and trying) to post this for a month or so, but with some great magazine write ups, it seems that my time to blog has, for now been curtailed. It is kinda funny that when one gets a bit stressed and busy you automatically think of comfort food…which may be [...]
