Chicken Stock for the Mad Scientist’s Soul

I love recipes with zil­lions of options to tin­ker with, and stock is the quin­tes­sen­tial mad sci­en­tist recipe.

Chateaubriand

Take it from Sam Elliott and Han­ni­bal Lecter: You can’t go wrong with chateaubriand.

Apple Oatmeal Crisp

Fast, easy, inex­pen­sive and healthy! (Well, healthy for a dessert, anyway.)

Green Chili Rice Casserole

Fast, easy and cheap–three of my favorite things!

Slow Cooker Corn Chili and Cornbread

Corn bread and corn chili: Two great tastes that taste bet­ter together!

Meet the Wellington Family!

Beef Welling­ton: The grand­fa­ther of the Welling­ton fam­i­ly. Refined. Nuanced.

Slow Cooker Prime Rib

Time to sack up, march brave­ly into the unknown, and emerge with a new way to pre­pare the King of All Beef. No child sac­ri­fices needed.

Bacon Soap

Every­thing is bet­ter with bacon—even soap! No; it’s not soap that looks like bacon. It’s not bacon-scent­ed soap. Look, you’re over­think­ing this: It’s soap made of bacon. Hence the name: BACON. SOAP. Clear?

British Pub Meat Pie

The great thing about this recipe is that the ingre­di­ents and steps list­ed here are just basic sug­ges­tions for how to assem­ble the pie. You can put just about any ingre­di­ents togeth­er and still wind up with a killer tasty pie.

Unmucked Fuffins

The first time I tried this recipe I real­ly mucked it up—way too much flour. That’s right: I mucked up the fuffins. So pay attention!
