You might be inclined to think I’m posting a baked bean recipe because the Fourth of July is near. You might be right. But only kinda. These baked beans are a family tradition, and not just for summer. My family has them for every holiday imaginable. Yes, we eat baked beans for Thanksgiving. And now…
Sometimes I get a little touchy about a subject and I let it come through in my writing. This is one of those times. I write a column for DrinkingCraft.com which is much less punchy than what you read here. This week’s may have had a tiny bit of punch to it. I created a…
St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, friends. Many of you start drinking and celebrating a month in advance. I don’t get SUPER into the holiday, I’ll admit it. But I do love cooking for it. It’s such a great opportunity to pull out new ingredients and flavors that you don’t usually take the chance to…
You guys. You’re watching this, right? Rick and Morty on Adult Swim? It’s fucking brilliant. It’s the brainchild of Dan Harmon (I love Community) and Justin Roiland (I love Lemongrab) and airs on Monday nights at 10:30pm.

A super simple recipe that’s always a hit. In order to advance it a little, I decided it needed a little salty flavor,…
Editor’s Note: Below is the column as it appeared on HoboTrashcan.com. I don’t know why this movie is so god damned polarizing. But I guess that’s because I’m completely on one side of the argument. I love A Christmas Story. It puts me in the mood for the holidays every year. Not that it takes much for…
I have a knack for taking awesome healthy ingredients and making them taste good. Don’t be confused, they are no longer healthy when I am done with them. This dish is freaking amazing. It makes a lot and I didn’t get sick of eating it all week. I took a nice, healthy spaghetti squash and…
If you’ve looked through Bacon & Legs, you’ll have noticed that one of the things I love doing is making grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a special place in my heart, right there in that one artery, clogging it up. And I never want to stop making them. But you can’t just make the same…
