Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Here is a great grill recipe from The Comfort Food Chef. I had a taste for chicken and a few leftovers in the fridge that needed to get used. I ended up this this light, filling, tasty dinner. I had a couple chicken breasts, a few pieces of bacon and some bbq sauce leftover from the hawaiian ribs. A trifecta of flavor waiting to be combined for grilled perfection.

Broiled Sesame Salmon

I got a great deal on Salmon at the store the other day and had a taste for something asian so I pulled this dish together. It is super easy a great dish for beginners and super flavorful. It also a great way to get health fish into non-fish eaters i.e. those who claim not to like the taste of fish will love this.

I had a serious craving for some kabobs and went for broke. Here is a great recipe for some kabobs. I did mine a little different today to show that the recipe is just a guide and doesn't have to be followed to the letter. Enjoy!

Spring is in the air so it must be grill time!!

I highly recommend the grill. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. This recipe is my new book available on Amazon.

Onion & Bacon Irish Soda Bread

I know that the baking enthusiasts took one look at the title and said Irish Soda Bread is supposed to have raisin and be sweet. This is my savory twist on an Irish classic. I love soda bread and give the Irish a salute the for this great bread. It is quick and I mean quick. It took me 70 minutes to make this loaf of bread and that includes 60 minutes of baking.

As I have said many times there is something about the heavenly smell of fresh bread that brings instant calm and comfort. I also believe in the healing power of fresh bread. Hot out of the oven, nice steamy and warm with some butter melting in the nooks. I have seen spirits lifted in minutes, headaches forgotten about, and people feeling loved. If you have someone that needs some comfort, love and there spirits lifted then make a loaf of this bread and their world will feel better.

Meatball Subs

Meatball subs, now is that comfort food or is that comfort food. I do not know many people that don't like a good meatball sub and I'm one of them. The classic meatball sub is very very high on my list of favorites! I am an Italian food slut as it is so don't get me going about meatball subs. I have many rave reviews about my meatballs so give this sandwich a shoot. I know you will live it!

The smell of fresh baked bread has such a calming and healing effect, I love fresh baked bread! This is one of the first breads I learned to make and I really like it. Of course you will hear me say that many a lot! What I like about egg bread is the light airy and of course that great egg taste. Plus egg bread is great for french toast!
