Dry Aged Steak, Scrambled Eggs, Pickled Shallots, Yellow Bell Pepper, with Sherry Vinaigrette
Had a few nice sizable chunks of that 15 day aged steak so I decided to eat it again, this time for breakfast. Excellent way to start the day! I’m experimenting with the shallots to see how they react to different fats after being pickled. Lose taste in butter, duck fat, canola? No. Caramelize a little bit with saute? Yes, this is ideal. Sherry vinegar tastes a little sweet to me so pairing the sherry pickled shallots with yellow bell […]

IxaRiveraCooks: Churrasco with a Light Garden Salad
(Click each picture to make it larger) Ixa is my mom and she cooked something for this blog. She cooked this last night and sent me over the pictures and a sort of recipe. Here’s the thing, she doesn’t cook from recipes either so that’s something we share. I created this blog to start storing these recipes but there is a little room for a little extra this or that.

Cheese Steak Puff
(Click each picture to make it larger) I asked everyone if they would like to see a recipe/technique/review on this blog and Jenn from BreadPlusButter.blogspot.com (THE BLOG OF THE MONTH), suggested I bake something. I don’t like to bake, it’s not my thing. I’ve never felt comfortable baking because I’ve never really had to do it. My idea of baking is running to the store and just picking up a cheesecake or not showing up to your party……..just kidding. I […]
