Kickstarted: Re-Jigger from Home Cocktail Revolution

October 31, 2013 Drew Fleisher

The Re-Jigger hopes to simplify the adoption and creation of better home cocktails

Back in June I saw a KickStarter project from a new company in California hoping to make cocktails more approachable in homes across America called Re-Jigger. I sent a couple emails back and forth with their founder, and decided it was an idea I could get behind.

Dinner Tonight: Fat Boy Bacon Risotto

October 17, 2013 Drew Fleisher

Creamy Risotto kicked up a few notches with Bacon

You know how I like Bacon (just like every sane human on the planet). So I was thinking, what if I put a pound of perfectly fried bacon into a nice creamy risotto? I'll tell you what, this is some good eatin' right here. The wonderful salty goodness of the bacon really helps bring out the flavor and creaminess of the risotto and the nutty flavor of a good parmesan cheese. This could easily be done with quinoa as well for those of you that have problems with rice. This one is going into regular rotation at our house.

Holiday Recipes to try (or try and avoid)

OK, here's an idea that looks good, but I'm not sure how it will come out. I may just have to give this one a try this holiday season. Who knew that Spam came in Turkey flavor?? Stay tuned for reactions!

SPAM:

SPAMSGIVING™ Day Delight

"There are times when you just have to look around and be thankful for what you have. And if you look around and see SPAM^® Oven Roasted Turkey in your cupboard, you’ll really be thankful—and so will your family when they try this tasty twist on tradition. "

Sausage and Polenta Pie

January 2, 2012 Drew Fleisher

I saw a great recipe for Sausage and Polenta Pie in a rundown of the best gluten-free winter recipes yesterday, and we thought we’d give it a try.

The classic combination of Sausage and Peppers never loses it’s appeal. However, the twist of adding polenta to the top I find much better than the typical bread it is paired with in typical sandwiches. The creamy and cheesy polenta makes a great counter-point to the spice and earthiness of the sausage and peppers. A great meal, all in one dish.

Give this one a try the next time you are looking for a healthy alternative to a classic.
