Using the leftovers to make roast beef and swiss cheese sandwiches with horseradish cream sauce is the next level of awesomeness! Be sure to look up my Instagram feed to see photos of what I am cooking.

I want to thank Carl from Hawaii for sending me the request for a collard greens recipe. This Collard Green Gratin is a wonderful way to prepare collard greens. A simple bechamel sauce with cheese (compound-mornay sauce) and nutmeg is the binder for this dish. Some toasted breadcrumbs add a crunchy texture on top. If you enjoy collard greens, this dish is for you! I would encourage other listeners...

A quick episode today...I want to encourage you all to use indirect cooking for your bbq's. The cost of meat these days is nuts! Why burn or overcook it? Just use the simple indirect cooking method. I have sadly seen so many bbq's go bad in recent years because of people using sticky, sugar-laden marinades and sauces and leaving meat on the direct heat too long. By creating an indirect cooking are...

This soul food classic is simple to prepare, uses common ingredients and delivers the comfort-food feeling we all love about Southern food. Spoonbread is not cornbread which tends to be dry and crumbly. This is rich, soft, creamy and delicious. You need a spoon to eat it, almost pudding-like, hence the na...

On today's show I walk you through a very simple summertime dish, or basically, anytime you can get fresh green beans. This dish takes under 30 minutes to make and needs just a few ingredients.

Costco club stores do have a prime beef program and exc...

I have always looked at the spices like a side venture, more of a favor for the fan...

On today's show, I am back in the saddle recording after a long break. since Memorial Day is upon us I discuss a different take on most BBQ items. Country style ribs are not that popular but can provide an inexpensive and tasty alternative to most "grill" items. As usual, I HIGHLY recommend seeking out a local farm that raises hogs outside with a natural diet. We need to STOP supporting factory fa...

Take it slow at first, eat only an...
