Feed The Resistance: St. Patrick’s Day 2023! It’s St. Patrick’s Day!  To celebrate, of course I cooked up a little Corned Beef, and and then I found a great recipe for the leftovers on the Food Network website.  It’s Corned Beef & Cabbage Grilled Cheese! To go with our Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Dee could have […]

Feed The Resistance: Thin Mint Stuffed Oreos! The Madison St. Patrick’s Day parade is on Sunday around the Capital Square (have I mentioned that I’m the Grand Marshall?)…and Girl Scout Cookie Season has arrived in Madison!  I wanted to do something to celebrate both of those things – so of course I turned to Thin […]

Feed The Resistance: Beer Chocolate Truffles! As Grand Marshall of the 2023 Madison St. Patrick’s Day Parade – I believe it’s my duty to decide when the party starts!  With that in mind, we’re starting the party about a week and a half early this year!  The dish that I made this morning isn’t strictly […]

Feed The Resistance: Independence Soup As Black History Month comes to an end, I wanted to cook up something from Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s “The Rise” cookbook.  The Rise traces the rise of black chefs in America.  What I made for today is what he calls “Independence Soup” or Soup Joumou.  The story that he tells […]

Feed The Resistance: Chili…and Chili Beer! We’re just over a week away from the big game – so to get ready for it, I cooked up a batch of my famous chili!  It’s based on a recipe that I found many years ago.  The centerpiece of the recipe is a great spice-blend that includes Chili […]

Feed The Resistance: Tater-Tot Casserole with Fat Tire Ale! With the cold weather setting in, my thoughts this week turned to COMFORT FOOD!  Is there a better comfort food than a Tater Tot Casserole?  I think not!  I found this particular recipe for Tater Tot Casserole on the Food & Wine Magazine site – it […]
