This is one of my nearest and dearest recipes. My grandmother makes the best chicken and waffles. I love nothing more than going to her house and her making this dish for me. We have dinner and chat and it's lovely. She just turned 89 and is as spry as ever. Below is the recipe for you to enjoy. It's…
Venison is a great alternative to beef and chicken. Venison has more vitamins and minerals per serving than beef, packed with iron and B vitamins. It has more protein than beef which means it's filling. Venison is super lean, too. The body loves variety and we get stuck on beef and chicken a lot. If you have the means, work…

Above even perhaps our kraut, cheese steaks, and perogies is the PA steak salad. This lovely creation of salad-gone-unhealthy is an immediate favorite of anyone that tries it, no matter where they're from. It starts as a regular salad and becomes a full meal by adding french fries and steak. Real steak, not that chipped steak crap. The unhealthy part…
I will preface this post by saying I suck at providing measurements, amounts, and quantities. A lot of these recipes are my own or a combination of multiples into one. I just throw stuff together. I apologize if my recipes are vague at times. Another facet to consider are personal preferences. I don't like a shit ton of garlic in…
We have had a mild winter thus far. Fortunately it doesn't get too crazy down here in North Cackalacky (my reasoning for moving here).
