How does Sfeeha on Pita end up with Tripping on Goat?

Sfeeha on Pita and a Goat Challenge

Well, after quite a journey, that’s how! Believe it or not, it all started with my contribution to the Peko Peko Charity Cookbook. I was asked to contribute a dish, something simple that most of us could actually make for our families and I had recently seen something I thought perfect; some Sweet Potato French [...]

Grapefruit, Ginger and Honey Flank Steak

Grapefruit, Ginger and Honey Flank Steak

I love flank steak. There I’ve said it. Again. Maybe for some it wouldn’t seem a match for that magnificent rib eye I recently had but I just love how the ‘need’ to marinate it also means that the flavor can be so manipulated (in a good way) by the cook depending on your tastes. [...]

Tagliata (Cut) Ribeye with Olive Oil, Garlic and Parsley

Tagliata (sliced) Ribeye with Olive Oil, Garlic and Parsley

This past year has had it’s share of ‘moments that suck’ I won’t deny. I realize I never set foot in my garden all last year so am excited about how far I’ve come. There will be gardening this year and…hey, the cane makes it easier to corral my dog!  Luckily there have also been [...]

Reuben Sandwich with Home Cured Corned Beef

As a matter of fact my company, Kinetic Webs, is a sponsor, assisting Cathy (MrsWheelbarrow.com) and Kim (The Yummy Mummy) with all things web related. As a sponsor I can’t participate in the quest for prizes but thought I might try the occasional challenge. What is Charcutepalooza you say? [...]

Cincinnati Chili with Spaghetti and cheddar cheese

I’ve been nostalgic lately and not sure why but memories of my childhood and home and friends from the past seem to be flooding in lately. Maybe it’s having heard from some fellows I went to college with (true to form, they were all together drinking!) or maybe even that this last week saw my [...]

Beef Bourguignon, My Birthday with Julia Child and @ManPans Giveaway

Beef Bourguignon with Julia Child

A classic dish that is in no way trendy but just perfect for today; so soul satisfying and delicious…but trust me, this is not your mother’s beef stew! I’ve always loved Julia Child. Watching her on PBS was my first ‘Julia’ experience, cooking from ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ brought us closer together and [...]

Jalapeño Cheeseburgers with Bacon and Grilled Onions

I like a good hamburger as much as the next guy…but the truth is, most often they aren’t the ones made on my grill! I’ve used a quick grilled hamburger most often when I was cooking when my kids where still at home for those dinners when there is no time for anything else; kids [...]

Thumbnail image for Bisteca ala Panzano’s via Junior League of Denver; A Cookbook & A Contest!

First or Fifteenth? This is a first. First contest I’ve ever done and depending on your way of thinking…1st anniversary of this blog. But REALLY? I’ve been putting recipes online since 1995 at www.creative-culinary.com; the first website I created after taking a course in HTML (not the last…that exercise and others led to my starting [...]
