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 [...]

Hearty Harvest Hash & Cheesy Corn Muffins with Fresh Cayenne Peppers

By Ben Frank | Published: October 3, 2009
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 [...]

Birthdays, Cupcakes and BACON!!!

By Ben Frank | Published: September 20, 2009
So, I’ve got a birth­day com­ing up this week. Apparently it’s a big one, as Tuesday is my last day of youth. At the stroke of mid­night early Wednesday morn, I will enter my 30th year. Am I wor­ried about it or stressed out about becom­ing old? No. Not really. Whether it’s 30, 40, 50, [...]

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.

Simple Salad, Seriously Scrumptious

By Ben Frank | Published: July 18, 2009
I really enjoy a good salad, espe­cially a large din­ner salad. I also enjoy grilling, fruit, bacon and good cheese. Tonight I decided to put them all together in an exper­i­ment of sorts. Grilling fruit has always pro­duced a great sweet/smoky taste that I love. When we got a can­taloupe from our CSA I decided to try [...]

Breakfast with Friends

By Ben Frank | Published: July 11, 2009
Last night we had some friends over to cel­e­brate our dog, Hayley’s 13th birth­day. I gotta say it’s the sil­li­est excuse i’ve ever had to drink too much, but drink too much we all did. Once one has had too much tequila, mix­ing more mar­gar­i­tas is a bad idea. This resulted in hav­ing break­fast guests [...]
