I’m Back! And I Made Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs with Home-Made Sauce!

By Ben Frank | Published: January 23, 2010

Okay, I know. It’s been way too long since I’ve posted. I could bore you with many excuses about how I’ve been too busy or how being sick followed by the major holidays really got the best of me and my time. But in reality, my heart just hasn’t been in it. I’m not sure […]

Creamy Winter Squash Soup and Fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

By Ben Frank | Published: October 6, 2009

A few weeks ago we received this strange, bulbous, warty squash from our CSA. We had no idea what it was. After some research we discovered that it was a Hubbard squash. I read that their flesh tends to be very moist and they they need to be cooked longer but that they are perfect […]

It is beautiful outside right now here in Nashville. It’s sunny, 70º and out my window I can see the leaves delicately floating toward the ground. With Fall in full swing here, I’ve been wanting a good hearty breakfast. Taking full advantage of our new Lodge cast-iron cookware, Megan and I tag-teamed in the kitchen […]

Savory Butternut Squash and Potato Tart with Bacon and Herb Cream Sauce

By Ben Frank | Published: October 1, 2009

First things first: it’s been a while. Too long. Between celebratory festivities and an enormous project at work, I’ve been slammed. Unfortunately, that has resulted in less time for the full-on cooking and documenting of said full-onness. I promise I’ll try to do better, but I make no promises. And now on to our irregularly […]

An Even Better BLT and More Sunday Wine Fun

By Ben Frank | Published: September 6, 2009

So last time I made a BLT, it was pretty freaking awesome and that was before the height of tomato season. Today I found a decent local Yellow Brandywine tomato at our Kroger of all places and decided I wanted a BLT. But, this time I took it to the next level: Frying. I enjoy […]

Smoked Turkey BLT with Fresh Cayenne Chipotle Mayo

By Ben Frank | Published: August 1, 2009

While watering our herbs and cayenne pepper plant this afternoon I noticed that we have several peppers that have finally ripened. We’ve been using them green for a few months, but now, they are a brilliant red. I wanted to do something with one of them today and I’ve been craving a good BLT lately.
