You make salmon often when it is one the person you love’s favourite dishes. To keep it fresh, I like to try different versions. I decided that the rich taste of pecan would go well with salmon and created this recipe. Continue reading Pecan Crusted Salmon
I hate to admit this. I have bought frozen pizzas. I hang my head in shame and beg the cooking gods for forgiveness. However, sometimes you just need a quick supper. Continue reading Frozen Pizza Shells
I have posted how to make a Manhattan Cocktail before but I decided to do a video on how to make one!

A nice pork roast on Sunday was a real treat when I was growing up. Mom would pick up a pork butt roast and would cook it at high temperature to crisp the skin and make cracklings. We’d fight over who got them! The juices from the heat seared fatty pork butt would make the best gravy. Sigh. Good memories. Continue reading Sunday Pork Roast

I like quesadillas but never thought to do a post on them. I don’t know why. However, I had some left over 10 inch tortillas and a left over cooked hamburger patty. Lightning struck or one of my few remaining synapses fired, I’m not sure which. Why not use them to make a Hamburger Quesadilla? I couldn’t think of a reason why not so here is how I made it. Continue reading Hamburger Quesadilla
I take part in a discussion group at Smoked Meat Forums. A member there manufactures and sells his own line of cures and brine. He was kind enough to send me a package of his salmon brine. So, you need to know he supplied it for free but this is my honest opinion of it. Continue reading Mad Hunky Salmon
