So I had a bunch of Roma tomatoes from my garden that needed used, and I finally got ahold of some fresh basil, so I made grilled bruschetta chicken.

First I chopped up the fresh Romas

Then I added some minced garlic, minced basil, chopped red onion, chopped mozzarella, some salt and pepper, and some balsamic dressing to make the bruschetta topping, and let it marinade in the fridge for an hour.

Next, you cover half the grill with foil and grill on medium heat one side of the chicken which I also marinated in some balsamic dressing, before flipping it over onto the foil and covering with the topping.

I overcooked the tomatoes a little bit, but the chicken was really thick, but here's the finished product.

Man that looks so good. The problem with sushi, is that the sushi taste as good as how great the sushi chef is. I have eaten in many sushi joint where the food is very bland. But then I find a place where the chef knows what the hell they are doing, the food is fantastic. Its not like burger king or MacDonalds where the food all taste the same no matter where they are. Theres one sushi joint near my place thats good, but its always crowded.

It does look good even though I'm not big on sushi. Pretty sure it's because I've never had any good sushi before.

Just saw your post.

I consider myself a bit of a sushi snob...so, here are my two cents:


As a general rule, sushi is a Japanese dish and so, look for a place run, owned by Japanese. If you see another or heck, a as the sushi chef...slowly back out of the door and make a run for the hills.

Also, the menu: is the menu gigantic? If yes, pass. Is the nigiri menu pretty much all sorts of rolls where they are just a pile of random ingredients (i.e. mango roll with salmon with your mom with lamborghini)? If yes, pass. Sushi is a time-honored traditional dish. The beauty of it is to taste the fish...not the mayo, tobiko/masago, tempura bits that cover up the flavor.

Lastly, you get what you pay for. Cheap and sushi goes together like Ferrari and cheap. They are mutually exclusive.


Happy eating!

And I didn't cook this, but had to share because it was absolutely amazing. Roast Duck with Pumpkin Ravioli, Spinach and Spaghetti Squash.

It was my wifes best friends birthday and she requested enchiladas.

I've been making different things in the past few months trying to perfect this sauce. I'm close.

You know, especially when cooked this way, we aren't huge fans of corn tortillas. It's a texture thing I think.

Made chili last week, it was my first attempt, and honestly some of the best chili I've ever tasted. I used 2 lbs of my grass fed organic ground beef from my 1/4 cow purchase, 4 cloves of fresh garlic, Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, diced red onion, green, and red bell peppers, some chili powder with cummin (about 3 tbspn), some cayenne powder, 1 can organic black beans, and 2 cans organic kidney beans, and a little salt and black pepper.

I browned the meat in a large skillet, and drained out the little bit of fat
IMG_20150129_225145_zps5zqxze1m.jpg

Then I added the garlic and the onions and peppers, this is the largest skillet I have that's not a wok, and it was overflowing
IMG_20150129_230952_zpsmokojrpt.jpg

I emptied the 3 cans of beans into a tupperware container and soaked them for about 45 mins
IMG_20150129_231800_zps62xzzhso.jpg

While they were soaking, I moved all my cooked ingredients into the crockpot and added the tomatoes and green chiles.
IMG_20150129_232405_zpsm6zlo7cz.jpg

All mixed up, I layered in the chili powder, cummin, and cayenne, and mixed it all up
IMG_20150129_233402_zpsxuuv4lic.jpg

Then I strained the beans and added them to the mix
IMG_20150129_235525_zpsp8tphmxl.jpg

Mixed all that shiz up
IMG_20150129_235715_zps9w2chmc2.jpg

Cooked overnight for about 6 hrs in the crockpot on low, the finished product.
IMG_20150130_124236_zpsi0qcrpf6.jpg

Definitely some of the best chili I've ever tasted, next time I will use 4 cans of tomatoes and chiles instead of 5. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough liquid, but there definitely was once everything broke down. It was even better after it marinated a couple more days.
IMG_20150202_185703_zpsuak4cc8r.jpg

I made this for a work event, but ended up not feeling well. So I ended up with about 5 lbs of chili. Gave some to my buddies and my parents, they all enjoyed it. Already got ingredients to make it again
