Growing up in the 1970’s meat sauce on spaghetti was common place. I can remember having it at all of my friends houses when I was invited for dinner. Now I am referring to what I call American meat sauce because it is vastly different from Bolognese. Bolognese is a meat base sauce with little…

Philly Cheesesteak
For much of my life I have been near the Philadelphia area.

Review of Dimply’s Rub & Grill Memphis Pork Dry Rub and Marinade
A little while ago my wife and I were shopping at a discount grocery store and I came across a few packets of seasoning from Dimply’s Rub & Grill. I had never heard of Dimply’s before but that could be because of the area of Central Pennsylvania I live in. We don’t get new things…

Steamed Bun Sliders

Cinnamon Sugar Donut French Toast
I absolutely love french toast. I think it is one of the best breakfast foods ever. Every time I see a new french toast recipe I always like to try it. I like to use slightly stale bread for most of the french toast recipes I make. I was checking through my pinterest feed the…
Oven Fries
It is no surprise that we love fried potatoes in our house. We are trying to cut down on the deep-frying, hence the use of our air fryer. So I wanted to come up with a way we could have fries that would be equally good in the air fryer or the oven. I was…
