Free recipe: Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples

February 28, 2017

  This has to be my all-time fave green veggie side-dish. I love brussels sprouts when they are roasted with apples and they really couldn’t be any easier to prepare. These also make a great side to take to a potluck as they travel very well. Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples ©2017 Drew Emborsky, aka…

Free recipe: Chicken Stock

January 30, 2017

Free recipe: Amazing Refried Beans

January 3, 2017

  When I was living in Guadalajara, Mexico I quickly began to realize that there is a HUGE difference in flavors of refried beans. One day a coworker brought some to a potluck at work, and when I tasted them I couldn’t believe how delicious they were. It took some coaxing but I eventually convinced…

Free recipe: Spatchcock 101

February 20, 2016

I’ve been spatchcocking poultry for a couple of years now and I have to say it ranks right up there with my favorite cooking methods. The main thing I love is that when you spatchcock a bird it ends up flat, and when it’s flat all the pieces of the bird are more or less…
