Sunday Brunch: French Toast Muffins

My grand-pappy instilled in me two very important things. One, don't let anything come between you and a beautiful lady. Two, never trust anyone who doesn't like French toast. 

I like his priorities. 

Sunday Brunch: Bacon Cheese Grits with a Fried Egg

Grits are something that I have recently fallen in love with. They are delicious and can be combined with so many flavors.

While traditionally grits might just be served with a pad of butter, they taste amazing when mixed with other things -- shrimp comes to mind. I thought, bacon makes everything taste better. So, why not bacon and cheese? Exactly. No good reason not to.

Rigatoni Pomodoro

A simple bowl of pasta can be amazing. Don't get me wrong, more complicated pasta has its place, but every now and again, I get this fantastic craving for a simple bowl of pasta with tomato sauce. 

No fear, pomodoro is just a fancy way of saying tomato sauce. 

Rigatoni is one of my favorite pastas. It has a delicious bite when cooked al dente and the ridges and the tube allow just the right amount of sauce to get trapped inside. 

Indian Corn Stew

Man, winter seems to have spring in a serious chokehold. We'll get a nice tease for a day, and then its back to the cold and rain. Outside, the wind is howling and it's threatening to pour. Ah, the wonderful weather of New York City.

To make matters worse, the boiler is broken in my apartment building. It's a bit chilly. Good thing I've got all the right stuff in my fridge to make a nice, warming meal that is about as simple as simple gets.

Chicken Soup with Dill

I've been feeling a little under the weather the past few days. And the last cold fingers of winter are holding on to spring. Sounds like a perfect excuse for some chicken soup.

Let's face it. It's a scary world out there. And your mamma isn't always gonna be there to fix you chicken soup. So, you have two options. One, find a nice girl that will take care of you and knows how to make chicken soup. Or, two, learn to make it yourself.

It's a meat muffin

It's a cupcake! No, it's a muffin! Wait, it's… meat?!

Yes, believe your eyes.  It's a meat muffin. 

Now, I've been looking for a way to carry around lunch in my pocket to become one of the cool kids. I think I finally figured out how to do it.
