Everything is bigger in Texas, like these humongous onion rings! While visiting Texas, this summer, we had the most delicious thick-cut onion rings. When we returned to our home state of California, it became my personal mission to recreate them. We don't eat a lot of deep-fried food, but once in a while these are a special treat. Soaking the onions in buttermilk helps to soften them, yielding a
The Best Homemade Juicy Pub-Style Burgers
A pub-style burger is made with beef that you grind yourself. Don't have a grinder? No worries. A food processor does a great job. Once you try this recipe, I doubt you'll look at grocery store ground beef burgers the same again. These are so much better! It is highly unusual for me to eat burgers from a big chain take-out place-unless, there's a good Mom and Pop place that char-grills their
Mexican Style Grilled Steak (Carne Asada) and Quick and Simple Refried Beans
Carne Asada is a Mexican style grilled steak, using skirt steak. It's seasoned with cumin & salt, and is chilled for at least 45 minutes (and up to 24 hours). It's either grilled over charcoal or using a gas grill, then fresh garlic is rubbed over the meat. Sliced thin, it's perfect for tacos, burritos and even over a salad. The quick refried beans are made with canned pinto beans, and a few
The Best Fully-Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole
If you’ve ever had a twice-baked potato, then this is it in a deconstructed form, so to speak. This was a perfect side dish to any kind of barbecue and it's a true crowd pleaser. People were diving in for seconds! I think that the mayonnaise adds a creaminess to the potato, so I wouldn’t skip it. Sour cream and green onions kicked up the flavor, and of course, who doesn’t love melted sharp cheddar
The Best Homemade Sweet Red Pepper Jelly
I have searched for many years for a Red Pepper Jelly recipe that a neighbor served at one of her Christmas parties. The jelly was tangy, with just a whisper of heat. Slathered on a cracker with cream cheese, it was love at first bite. Finally, I was able to recreate that red pepper jelly recipe and I'm thrilled beyond words. Whenever I serve this at a pot luck, or party, the
Slow-Grilled Amazing Kansas City Style Barbecued Burnt Ends
Burnt ends are flavorful pieces of meat cut from the point half of a smoked brisket. I'm one of those people who loves to eat the crunchy end of roasted or grilled meats. If you belong to this club, as well, you would love the crunchiness of the brisket-- and that smoky taste! Grill Masters spend hours making these, as we personally experienced in Kansas City. They are so good! This recipe is
How to Make German Apricot Rahm Kuchen (Apricot Cream Tart)
Rahm Kuchen is a German hybrid of a apricot tart with a luscious cream topping! This is an heirloom recipe from my Bavarian family. The crust made with butter, egg yolks and is sweetened with vanilla sugar and a little lemon zest. The crust has a thin layer of apricot jam (to prevent a soggy bottom) and then fresh sliced apricots are arranged on topped, then layered with a topping made with
Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes for Two
When it's just two of you, why make enough pancakes for an army? With buttermilk and sour cream, these pancakes are a happy start to a perfect day for two. These pancakes are much better than a box mix, I promise! On weekends, I like to treat my men to homemade pancakes with pure maple syrup. Oh, wait! I'm now living with my one man, now that my son has flown he coop and is living (quite
