The Perfect Cheesecake!

 

 
Looking for the perfect cheesecake recipe? This is a classic New York style cheesecake with a cookie crust and high sides. We also add some leftover "Halloween" candy! It is dense, rich, and light at the same time. But we can't take credit for the recipe we just bumbled through it for some excellent results!

GRILLING! Metal skewers for the WIN!

PRO TIP wood skewers ALWAYS burn. I don't care if you soak them all day. 

Use metal skewers even when cooking sausage, hot dogs, chicken satay, vegetables, fruit...because the metal heats up and cooks it inside as well. Which also reduces the time it takes to cook.

Tytus and I are just "chillin' and relaxin'" throwing some food on the grill for Sunday supper. I am teaching him why I do things the way I do them and enjoy spending time with my son. He loves cooking as well as the filming aspect of making these videos.

OXO vs Zoodler | Veggie Noodles

Tytus and I review the OXO julienne peeler and the Zoodler. Do you remember the veggie noodle craze and why it's STILL making a lot of great dishes? Stick around after the review to see 2 quick dishes you can make to take advantage of these kitchen tools. AND speaking of kitchen tools...

Lasagna Rolls!

Tytus and I make Lasagna Rolls. We kept it simple. Lasagna sheets, ground turkey meat, jar tomato sauce, and many kinds of cheese. If you want to make a bechamel sauce or add ricotta it's up to you. The amount of cheese and sauce to use is also up to you.

You can make the meat and sauce mixture and cook the noodles ahead of time. That way you can later assemble and bake in case you're involving others in making supper. 

The best thing about this is you can pre-prep most of the meal up to a couple of days ahead. The other great advantage is the lasagna roll holds together without resting long. Unlike regular lasagna that may turn into soup and spread out on the plate if not given enough time to set up.

Ingredients:

6 lasagna sheets (about half a box)

1# ground turkey meat

1 to 1 1/2 Jars of your favorite tomato sauce

1 bag mixed cheeses shredded

1 bag mozzarella cheese shredded

Southern Greens in 10 Minutes

Greens are delicious! Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, beet greens...And even swiss chard. In this video, I prepare Swiss chard like a southern green. How do you do that? With pork fat!

This is a quick technique I use to produce some delicious greens in a short amount of time. I use leftover grease from quality hickory smoked bacon, red pepper flake, and fresh garlic. That's about it except for seasoning with salt. Enjoy!
