Sweet chili wings might be a little misleading as this is not intended to be a Thai sweet chili sauce. Nor is it intended to be some sort of Asian inspired sauce either. It came about as nothing more than me messing around in the kitchen and throwing a few ingredients together that I thought […]

Welcome to the chicken wings page! This is the first step of my plan of world domination. I have no idea what that means, but it sounds fiendish. As you might be familiar, I tend to prattle just a little bit during my blog entries. But not this time. No, this time I will try […]

Other than the time it takes [to explore] and peel away the banana blossom layers, this dish is really quite simple; pretty much just chop and toss, although I did quickly heat the vinaigrette to make sure the sugar and other flavors blend well. I was intrigued the other day when our local produce guy, […]

Spinach and artichoke dip is without a doubt one of my all time favorite appetizers. Notice I didn’t say that it was my “favorite” appetizer of all time, because that would just be silly. It is however, pretty far up on my list. So let me clarify my overly dramatic problem with the issue I […]

Stuffing. That wonderful Thanksgiving staple we (well most of us anyway) all know and love. When that special day comes around, some dishes have become nothing short of mandatory. Turkey being the ultimate center piece that holds everything together around it. Sort of like a miniature solar system. I’m thinking Alpha Centurkey. It’s that epic. […]

A little while back Andrew and I held Dueling Duleys “Barbeque Soup.” I was troubled having to narrow down the many styles of barbeque in order to enter a single recipe. In the end I decided to make two soup ideas but found that this recipe was a little less barbeque and a little more […]

The Ingredients Anything Everything Whatever we want Andrew I’m going to jump in and say right off the bat that for this episode of Dueling Duleys, we’re not going to follow the usual rules for our game, which you can find by clicking here: The Rules Instead we will both be creating our own take […]

Let’s see. Ham, three types of cheese, rotini pasta, Greek peperoncini and crunchy celery, all coated with a tangy honey mustard sauce. Let’s just take a moment to reflect on the deliciousness that is about to unfold. Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar… okay, that’s enough. There’s work to be done. Truthfully though, I am quite happy with […]

The more official name would be Spinach Salad with Kalamata and Pesto Dressing. The other day I was invited to attend a Murder Mystery dinner with a large group of friends. It happened to fall on the evening of a day that was already ENTIRELY packed! In the end, I had about an hour window […]
