These days simple do-able recipes with a high pay off have been my mainstay. Do Homemade Canadian Donair qualify? I think so. And while these sandwiches might look restaurant quality (and the idea DID come from one, Occo Kitchen & Bar, I saw on Diner’s, Drive-Ins & Dives and here’s the video) these lovely Canadian versions of the Gyro are much easier than you’d guess,. especially if you view it as a mostly a “make ahead” meal. Gotta love that!

Sometimes you just need an epic burger and for me, that sometimes is a summer gathering or maybe a summer holiday. That’s when you need a knock your socks off show stopper of a burger. And if it’s messy, who cares when it’s these Southwestern Queso Burgers!

Whatever you do, don’t tell any of my Wisconsin neighbors about these Better than Classic Beer Brats. Wisconsin, doncha know, is credited with the innovation of the Beer Brat. Wikipedia backs it up. A Minnesotan making outrageous claims might be the final straw – and none of us needs any more stress this year! With that settled, let me tell ya all the secrets of making the BEST Beer Brats!

Yanno what’s shocking sometimes? The amount of money that restaurants command on their appetizer or lunch (and sometimes dinner) flatbreads! I’ve seen them from $9.99 on up to $14.99, and I think it’s cray cray! I started making pizzas a long time ago (one of my faves is on my site) and love to make pizza as a way to use up a few leftovers. Usually, I’ll make extra of something just so I can make pizza. And the same goes for flatbreads. And that’s how this Mushroom Ricotta Flatbread Pizza came about.

Does it seem you wait and wait and wait for Summer and all of a sudden it’s just too dang hot? And as we’ve all heard, “It’s not the heat it’s the humidity.” What exactly IS that supposed to mean, anyway? Don’t ever say that to me. I’ll be cranky when it’s too hot and give you a “look.” You know the kind of look I mean…the one that says “What in the H E double hockey sticks are you talking about?!” That’s when it’s too hot to cook, too hot to bbq, and you need Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs in your life. Or Spare Ribs. It doesn’t matter, they’re both so good with this method.
