Grandma’s Easy Peach Pie

By Bruce • Aug 10th, 2010 • Category: food

This recipe is so easy and it’s very refreshing!  I had it the first time while visiting my grandma in Tennessee two years ago.
Start having a baked pie shell ready to fill.  You can use the Pillsbury ones or the frozen ones that need to be baked for 10-15 minutes.  Peel and quarter about 9 [...]



Dark Chocolate Truffle Brownies

By Bruce • Apr 28th, 2010 • Category: food

It was a few months ago when I found a Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Truffle bar in my box at school with a thank you note attached.  I had helped with some training for a colleague.  Little does anyone know the “thank you” actually goes to her for giving me the chocolate bar!
During the first [...]

This is not an original recipe.  I can’t even remember where I got it but I guarantee it’s the best you’ll try in it’s category!  NO JOKE!

My church had it’s first annual Chili cookoff to raise money for Portland Rescue Mission.  There was close to $350.00 raised.  They were definitely the big winner.  However several prizes were awarded for chili and pie.  I tied with another recipe for People’s Choice!  I thought that pretty neat since it was my first chili [...]

By Bruce • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: food

It’s summer 2009 and I have time to experiment in my kitchen again. This recipe was inspired by one I tried from a cookbook last year. The original is Cornbread and Bacon Stuffed Pork Loin.
I think the rosemary is very complimentary to the cornbread stuffing.  By now, hopefully you’ve tasted how wonderful rosemary [...]



Southwest Chicken Salad Sandwich

By Bruce • Jul 21st, 2008 • Category: food

Back in the kitchen…experimenting again!
This summer, I’ve been eating a few entrees and appetizers with a Southwestern tilt to them.  I’ve noticed many cuisines on the Food Network integrating this tilt.  Two years ago at a pitch-in that we had during a masters class for my M.Ed, my friend Fauna brought in a crock pot [...]

By Bruce • Jun 25th, 2008 • Category: food

Summer is a time for experimenting in many ways.  I really enjoy food and I enjoy the process of cooking.  I like hanging in the kitchen with friends and while I’m alone.  Tonight I experimented with an American staple snack…the Rice Krispie Treat.  I know, you’re probably thinking what could possibly make it better?  Thanks [...]

For those who know me, you know I absolutely love Taco Del Mar. Up until now, I haven’t really been able to say why I like it so much but I do. The taste is amazingly fresh. Also, I think they put something special in the pico de gallo [...]
