I love baseball. I can get behind basketball. But I don’t love football. What I DO love about football is the excitement, friendly rivalries and massive amounts of beer and junk food that surround football fandom. So I can get behind the football culture, regardless of whether or not I give a shit about the…
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…
This recipe originally ran on HoboTrashcan.com. Did ya see Thor: The Dark World this weekend? Didja? I figured a good chunk of you would have. Even if you aren’t into The Avengers, Marvel or comic books in general, Chris Hemsworth draws you in. He could be a weapon in world domination if he fell into…
My favorite foods change quite often. Tastes change. Moods change. But there are a few constants. Cheese. Potatoes. Beer. So when I’m brainstorming recipes, I think I naturally gravitate toward these things. Cause what’s better than cheese, potatoes and beer? Pasta. Adding pasta to the mix could help. Ok, I’m convinced.

I had all of these high hopes and ambitions for cooking this weekend. I should have known better. It’s Beer Week here in Philadelphia. As a craft beer nerd, I had a lot on my plate. Or in my cup, rather. Though, that does mean I need some substantial food in my belly to survive…
I was reading up on my genealogy and I found this fun story about my GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandmother, Rachel. Her and her husband packed up their covered wagon and moved to Northwest Ohio (where my family has lived since then). They lived in a hollowed out tree while they built a log cabin….
When you’re grilling yourself a cheese (Archer reference… anyone?), I think the most important ingredient is your cheese. Ok, big fat no brainer. But it IS the make or break aspect of your sandwich. You could drown an insect in the right kind of cheese and I’d still eat it… … did I whet your…
I spend so much time trying to come up with innovative ideas in the kitchen, but when it comes down to it, sometimes the simple ones are the tastiest. And in that light, I’m going to simply leave it at that. Caprese Grilled Cheese on Focaccia your favorite focaccia thinly sliced tomato fresh mozzarella, thickly sliced…
