Onion rings are something that I love to order from time to time, but when I get them out at restaurants I sometimes find that they put far to much batter on them. So much so that you actually loose the taste of the onion and all you can taste is fried batter, which is [...]

Whenever I go out to an Asian restaurant, one of the first things that I always look for is wontons. There is just something about biting into the crispy wrapper to reveal a savory, flavorful filling. Since I do love them so much I thought I would tackle making them at home. For this wonton [...]

Ok I’ll admit it, many a time I have enjoyed a Mexican Pizza at Taco Bell for “fourth meal”. It was those outings that inspired this crunchy, cheesey Mexican pizza recipe. Seasoned ground beef and refried beans are layered between two crispy flour tortillas and topped with Mexican tomato sauce, 2 cheeses, diced tomatoes and [...]

Alright here we are, a day before the Super Bowl and I saved the best for last. What Super Bowl party would be complete with out buffalo wings? Now I like my buffalo wings spicy so these are no exception as they are not for the faint of heart.  I use a habanero pepper, chili [...]
