Greek Phyllo Wraps

April 30, 2014September 1, 2016 Greek, Mains, phyllo

I fell in love with these Greek inspired rolls years ago when I first saw them in the magazine Cuisine at Home. I found the dill pattern so beautiful, I had to make them. They are crazy delicious, easy to make, and look so stunning you won't believe your eyes.... Read More

Oven Barbecued Ribs

March 18, 2014September 1, 2016 barbecue, bbq, Mains, pork, ribs

There is nothing quite as hedonistic and finger licking good as a plate of meltingly tender barbecue ribs. They are easy to make (the only real investment is time) and so unctuously savory, meaty, and satisfying that I'm tempted to make them more often than is good for me. Boozy... Read More

Happy Meatball Day!

March 9, 2014 is National Meatball Day! What better way to celebrate than making a batch yourself? Meaty, juicy, comforting, meatballs are relatively easy to make and can be modified and flavored to match anyone's tastes. First, and perhaps most importantly, meatballs are not the same as meatloaf.

Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza AKA Italian Pie

February 9, 2014September 1, 2016 Italian, Mains, pizza

My husband is not happy with me. Originally from New York, he's angry that Chicago-style deep dish is called pizza at all, and while he happily ate dinner tonight, I am apparently in the dog-house for my traitorous behavior. To save my marriage, I must begin this post by stating... Read More

Slow Cooker (Crock-Pot) Pulled Pork

November 11, 2013September 1, 2016 barbecue, bbq, brioche, Mains, pork, sandwich

I would love to claim that I was a barbecue pit master. That I had the time, energy and equipment to do real deal, slow smoked ribs, brisket and pulled pork. I do have my eye on a smoker and perhaps in the future I'll be able to make that... Read More

Red Beans and Rice

September 5, 2013September 1, 2016 beans, Mains, pork, rice

Recently, while out doing my grocery shopping, I came across gorgeous andouille sausage and had to have it. I bought a link (7 oz, so it was pretty ample) but by the time I got home, I wasn't sure what to make. Andouille screams Creole or Cajun food, neither of... Read More

Meatloaf: Classic Comfort Food

August 18, 2013September 1, 2016 beef, Mains, pork

While it has history and origins going way back, modern meatloaf is an American dish that is comfort food for good reason. It's warm, filling, delicious, and adding breadcrumbs and veggies to ground meat extends the meat so that the dish is budget friendly as well. It signifies to me... Read More

There is just something undeniably good about tacos. When the ingredients are fresh and made with care, this humble street food is transformed into a complete meal, and the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Boozy Epicure's Pork Soft Tacos with Homemade Corn... Read More

Porchetta Sandwiches

July 6, 2013September 1, 2016 Italian, Mains, pork, sandwiches

For many years, I had absolutely no interest in making porchetta at home. I had it in my head that "authentic" porchetta required a whole hog, tied and roasted, much too much work (and meat) for me to attempt in my own kitchen. I had eaten porchetta out at restaurants,... Read More

I wanted something simple and tasty for lunch today, it's the 4th of July after all and I've got a big meal ahead of me tonight, so easy fish tacos sounded perfect! Technically, I made both fish and chicken tacos, my husband prefers chicken breast, so feel free to follow... Read More
