Carne Asada with Roasted Vegetable Salsa
I’ve been wanting to make a Carne Asada for a long time now. We finally did it and it was freaking awesome. I didn’t have any tri-tip or flank steak in the freezer but I did have an Under Blade Roast. It’s a tasty piece of meat but it’s tough if you don’t treat it [...]
Homemade Ancho Chili Powder – TKDRecipes.com
Once you make this simple chili powder you will never buy the dull, tasteless crap that passes for chili powder in a store again. This chili powder will also transform an ordinary chili into a champion.
What I look for in a chili powder is a LOT of flavor. I’m not looking to get much heat [...]
Braised Lamb Breast – Cheap & Tasty
We were in Walmart in Cottonwood AZ the other day and I came across a vac sealed bag of Lamb breast. I’ve never seen lamb breast in a store before. They were only $1.78 a pound. Since we love lamb but hate the high price of the best cuts, we decided to see if we [...]

Our Favorite Hamburgers – TKDRecipes.com
Tonight I worked on refining a recipe for good hamburgers. The American meal.
I cooked one for our daughter (and a small one for our Jack Russell) first. She took a bite and said “Oh my God”. So, I guess we did pretty good. I was then told to ‘take a bite, a small bite’ to [...]

Crab Cakes and Lobster Tails
This one is AWESOME. We picked up two small Lobster tails from Harris-Teeter. This is a real simple and very tasty way to prepare the Lobster. Steaming the lobster with wine improves the sauce as the juices of the lobster will go into the wine and not be lost. This would probably be even better [...]
Pig Roast with the La Caja China
Well, the pig roast was a success. We used our model #2 La Caja China roasting box to cook the pig. This was our second time using the box and we had much better results. I took pretty good notes this time and will pass along what we’ve learned.
We started with a 54# pig that [...]
Cooking a Pig Tomorrow!
Tomorrow is my youngest daughters 16th Birthday. For the party, we will be cooking a whole pig in our La Caja China pig roaster. It’s our second time using it and I’m really getting pumped up. We have a 54# pig on ice. The butcher butterflied it for us too. [...]
Kalbi Beef – TKDRecipes
I spent 3 years as a teen in Korea on a US Naval Base. I came to like some of the Korean foods I was introduced too (not KimChee). Bulgoki is really popular and we make it a lot but my favorite is Kalbi Beef. It’s different cut of beef than Bulgoki and is easy [...]
Wild Paw Paw Fruit
We discovered we have a patch of wild Paw Paw fruit trees behind our greenhouse. It’s the only tropical fruit native to the USA. They are quite tasty. They have a custardy, banana like flavor with a hint of mango and coconut. The mango comes out much more as they ripened and the inside goes [...]
Fun Cuisine: Ziploc Omelets
Boil in bag Omelets, aka Ziploc Omlets, looked like a fun thing to try on a holiday morning. A mild controversy exists over the toxicity of the plastic (food grade plastic) and it’s transference to the food do to heat. The way I look at it, we cook in plastic bowls in the microwave all [...]
Awesome White Chicken Chili – TKDrecipes.com
We have a Chili Competition coming up and last year we took first place in both competitions we entered. I was somewhat surprised though that 2nd place went to a White Chili. Not a big fan of that kind of chili normally.
We decided we enter our usual chili and also a white one. We needed [...]
Syrian Red Lentil Soup
We’ve been making this soup for about the past year. It’s a family favorite and best of all, it’s cheap and tasty which means it’s a regular on the menu in our household.
As far as I can discern, it’s a soup with Jewish roots and has spread across the Middle East into Syria, Turkey, Iraq, [...]

Coconut Fish Curry – TKD
Here’s dish I came up with tonight. I couldn’t find anything that quite fit what I wanted for my first fish curry. I looked at a good dozen recipes and came up with this one. It’s pretty awesome. My wife has declared it her favorite curry of all time. Being from the UK, that [...]
Sourdough Starter – TKD
Here’s the starter recipe. It’s nothing elaborate. A basic starter is just water and flour in a warm place and wait for the bubbling to start. I added a bit of buttermilk powder to mine. If you don’t have any, I wouldn’t run out and buy it just for this. Some recipes call for milk [...]
Grilled Pork Loin Sandwich
Being in the real estate business during these economic times means we want to stretch the leftovers along. This one started off with some leftover garlic marinated pork loin.
Nothing to exciting, but I was reading about the Cuban Sandwich and wanted to make one myself. I drifted off the recipe so don’t send me hate [...]
Best True Sourdough Bread Yet
Mmmm. …. Crusty sourdough goodness.
We finally had success in baking a loaf of Sourdough bread without added commercial yeast!
Susan took over the job and came out with a winner. It’s taken a lot of experimenting but we may have it down now. It isn’t done quickly but here is what worked for us. It was [...]
