Hunna’s adopted hometown took the Super Bowl title this year against San Fran. I admit, I was only halfway watching. But Hunna’s wings and our homemade ranch and blue cheese dressings were killer. Not too much else to report this year! Related posts: Sunday Night Supper OVI for Wings… Read More →

But the first recipe… Read More →

We are going to serve a vegan holiday entree this year. My brother Chris’ girlfriend, Laura, is vegan. Chris’ daughter, Alexis, is vegetarian. And it’s how we want to be eating more often than not, anyway. But we don’t cook vegan very often, especially when it comes to the holidays…. Read More →

What do you think of topping an already decadent BLT with a runny farm-fresh egg? I think it was genius. But maybe you think it’s outrageous? Whatever the case, it’s not an every day sort of meal. But when you want to splurge? Wow. Related posts: No related posts.

Well, it’s been tough to find time do a lot of baking. So this year, looks we’ll have just one sour cherry pie. And even that isn’t up to its usual standards. I’ve cheated and used puff pastry. The only difference when it comes to the filling, though, is that… Read More →
