I follow Grillo’s Pickles on Instagram. They posted a picture of a burger the other week with a caption detailing their Grillo’s Burger showdown challenge. I love Grillo’s and decided I would throw my recipe and picture in the ring. I knew I had to create an epic recipe for it, and I mean EPIC. […]

Pheasant Pot Pie
Who doesn’t love a pot pie? Pot pies are the epitome of Southern comfort food! And unless you want to do your best three-star Michelin chef impression and make everything from scratch, they are easy peasy. Besides the fact that a pot pie sounded delicious, my brother-in-law loves them! And while he might not have […]
Mexican Gator Stuffed Peppers
One of my favorite meals in college was Costco stuffed bell peppers. They were easy, “healthy”, and would give me plenty of leftovers (which is a necessity as a poor college student). After a long day of classes and soccer practice nothing really beats being able to just throw something in the oven and having […]
Wisconsin Buttery Gator Burgers
Ogres are like onions. They have layers. And unlike Donkey, I think everyone likes onions! But moving on from paraphrased Shrek quotes into the actual recipe. I decided I wanted to make a combination of a Wisconsin butter style and mustard fried burger. It’s like if Steak and Shake and In-N-Out had a delicious little […]
Roasted Turkey Breast
My all-time favorite sandwich meat is turkey. When my dad brought back two turkeys from a hunting trip, I knew I needed to make a solid roasted turkey recipe. You can use this roast turkey on sandwiches, soups, or just eating straight up. This recipe, coupled with my brine recipe, is tender and juicy and […]
Spicy Jalapeño Brine
I adapted this recipe from the cookbook “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat”. The reviews of this book are actually true, if you are just learning how to cook or if you are a chef in a three-star Michelin restaurant you’ll learn something from it. There is so much useful information in this book, even if it […]
BLTT and Pimento Cheese Sandwich
An easy summer staple is a BLT. Something about it is fresh and delicious, but I decided that wasn’t enough… I decided to add an extra T to that normal everyday BLT. I made a BLTT, or a BLT with some wild (T)urkey breast! Not only was it a BLTT, but it was a BLTT […]
Sheet Pan Quail and Brussels Sprouts
When lists of gross food get thrown out one vegetable always gets its fair share of hate. Brussels sprouts! Maybe it’s because of the way most people had them growing up, boiled and slimy, but brussels sprouts have gotten a bad rap. I didn’t know I loved brussels sprouts until I tried them shredded with […]
Venison Sausage and Beef Bolognese
Honestly, I just love pasta. I could leave it at that, and I feel like most people would understand me! This recipe was developed because my sweet grandmother lives on a farm and had a cow butchered. She gave us over 100 pounds of ground beef and I wanted to put a good dent in […]
Quail Southwestern Egg Rolls
My grandma and mom would often take me out to lunch to eat as a child. Every once in a while, they would take me to Chili’s. Chili’s is underrated. I would get the “Triple Dipper” sampler appetizer as my meal and, of course, one of the three options I would pick was the southwestern […]
