Reviewed Meatloaf Muffins with Barbecue Sauce
"Simple, fast and you cant ruin it! I've tried it with sausage, ground turkey and even with the ground "fake-meat" type products and they all come out great.
Hint - After you take them out of the oven and let them sit a bit, then take them out of the tin and rest on a rack. So they don't have to sit in the grease and cooking liquids.
Reviewed Mini Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
"Im not a big Quiche fan but was asked to make mini's for a late night breakfast buffet over New Years. These came out great. I would add some more spice to pop it up next time for my tastes but a simple dish for snack, apps or a easy meal with salad.
Hint: Dont cook the whole time with out checking at intervels. In my oven they went a nice brown at 19 min or so. At the time listed they almost were too dark (I was using a dark mini muffin pan). Experiment with the amount in each, they didnt raise as high as I expected so on my second batch I fill much closer to the 3/4 ish side and got a nicer bite.
Reviewed Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler
"While the sexiness and ease of this dish can't be missed. A few hints that might help - If you are using the larger sized oven you will want to double the filling portion recipe. While it comes out good as is - the extra filling gives it some real depth to the dish! Caveat - this is best served shortly out of the oven - so mix it up and pop it in just before you serve your meal so it hot and bubbly for dessert.
For those gluten free - the new lines of gluten free baking mix work with this dish as well!
Likes others - this is a "go to" anytime dish!
About Me
MIddle-aged, italian-american gay guy, with a passion for his work in public health only matched by his passion for food and the traditions celebrating the diversity of taste, culture and history.
Too often people think that being gay meant I left behind the comfort foods of my youth in favor of trendy, hip A-list foods. Im here to say its not true. My family and friends who share my table truly miss and come to value the depth of dishes that I grew up with from my mom and others.
Favorite Foods
I'm a basics kind of guy (but love my exotics too) give me a good hamburg, well cooked shrimp, lasagna or a simple chocolate cake with choc frosting, crisp chocolate cookies and a biscotti and Im happy. But the rest of the time - its about blending my mood, the weather and whats seasonally available where I am.
