Cheese!


Cheese is my absolute favorite thing to work with in the kitchen.  It can be used on its own or added to almost anything to improve the taste. 9 times out of 10 if adding cheese to something doesn't improve the flavor then you need to rethink what it is you are making.  Currently in my kitchen I am working with a super spicy 4 pepper blend cheese that I picked up from my local deli.  It is much hotter then a pepper-jack.
The heat of the peppers blend nicely with the cheese.
I have included some history, info and recipes I thought were informative.

Spicy Asian Beef

Thaw slender strips of beef steak.
Finely slice green and red peppers. Keep seeds with them for spicy flavor.  Add to an oiled pan, add 1.2 cup water and set aside to be put in oven at same time with the beef.

Marinate the beef slices with a garlic, red pepper, sesame ginger teriyaki barbecue sauce.
Place in preheated oven set on 400 degrees. Place the peppers in the oven at the same time.

Cook them both for 20-30 minutes

Pile them atop a bed of rice or noodles.

Winter beer heart of Darkness + pie recipe


Found a seasonal beer called heart of Darkness by Magic Hat.  I gotta say it has a very unique taste.  
It has a bitter/creamy chocolate taste. Not sludgy at all.  
Pairs well with a chocolate cupcake.
I have been a huge fan of Magic Hat, especially their #9. 
Defiantly worth a try  for a seasonal/non pumpkin flavored beer.

Stock up on those Twinkies! Dark Days Ahead


  Many preppers and survivalists out there know the value of a food that lasts long and can survive terrible conditions. Twinkies are that food.  Start stocking up on those little yellow creme filled cakes.  Soon they will no longer be on the shelves at your local store. Twinkies is going under. Twinkies-Maker-Hostess-Going-Out-of-Business  They are going under due to strikes and union workers.

Don't cry, there is hope.Here is a recipe on how to make twinkies at home.

A Pantry Challenge


The Challenge is to use what you have stored up in your pantry to make interesting new dishes by clearing out some things that have been in the pantry taking up space.  
If you have a sparse pantry then you might need to wait till its stocked up more.  
But, if you have a bit of selection you might discover some favorite meals by mixing what you have to find some great creations.  A can of spinach and some pasta shells go very well together.  
It rests solely on your items in the pantry and your ingenuity to find things that will work.  
To get you started, here are Some Ideas.  
Good luck and please let us see what you have come up with.
