I am not sure why I have a penchant for mustard-based barbecue sauce but there is something about the tangy, bold nature of a sauce with a mustard backbone that acts as a defibrillator for my palate. When I was posed with the challenge of creating a barbecue sauce utilizing Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon, I knew I would …
As we’ve all just survived the polar vortex, I can think of no better way to rewarm our souls than with this meal. Salty, crispy skin gives way to the rich and succulent meat of the chicken thigh. It is swimming in a sauce of white wine, garlic, thyme and paper-thin onions with leafy green spinach sliding its way into …
I’ve been trying to come up with the perfect Buffalo Chicken wing. To me, it is the quintessential game-day indulgence.

I have picked up many basic practices from the likes of Ina Garten, Giada de Laurentiis and The Joy of …
I watch a lot of cooking shows and I am always impressed when they prepare a simple roast chicken.

What an intimidating meal to prepare though – I mean, you are working with a WHOLE chicken! Where do you even …
We had chicken breasts in the fridge. And that was about it. Typically I would turn to my pantry, pull out some spices and make a rub for fajitas. But, without onions, bell peppers or tortillas on hand this wasn’t going to work. So my fridge and I had a nice long stare down. Me: I know – I …
