This month our special restaurant pick came from Joy: Fiola Mare on the waterfront in Washington DC. Once again this pick was a huge hit and we had a wonderful evening trying yet another restaurant none of us had been to before. As it so often does our evening started at the bar where we […]
Spicy Korean Pork Stir Fry
Pork
I don’t know about you but I just love that spicy Korean Pork (Dwaejibulgogi) that you get at a good Korean BBQ joint. Sweet, spicy, tender, and delicious that BBQ pork always leaves me wanting more! The secret to that flavor is Gochujang which is a fermented chili, bean, and rice paste that is very savory […]
Guinness Marinated Beef Short Ribs
Beef
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day and we decided to cook with that theme in mind. We wanted to play with the beef and cabbage concept and in turn create a unique dish that works for St. Patty’s day (or any other day). This recipe is a form of our Pantry Night concept and (as our recipes […]
Mushroom Panzanella and Prosciutto Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Pork
Ah… Spring is in the air and we are finally outdoors cooking again! This dish features Panzanella which is a traditional Tuscan salad made with bread and tomatoes. Our take on Panzanella uses mushrooms instead of the tomatoes for that umami flavor which pairs nicely with the pork loin. Now grab a bottle of your favorite Pinot Noir, sit […]
Miso Marinated Mahi Mahi
Seafood
As some of you can tell by now we have a lot of leftover Miso in our refrigerator from recipes we have made recently. Pantry night continues with the “Miso” theme as we work through the bulk of Miso taking up valuable space in our appliance. This recipe took a different twist with the White Miso and […]
Cast Iron Chicken Adobo
Chicken
We are tired of writing this, but once again the winter that will not go away kept us inside and away from the Big Green Egg. We are continuing to play with recipes that we will eventually make on the BGE… and this dinner was no exception. We love the flavor profile of Filipino food and wanted to make a version […]

Special Restaurant Month: The Partisan
Food Exploration
As you can tell by now we like to go out to eat… a lot! So, to spice things up we came up with the idea for a special restaurant experience once a month where we would go to a local eatery that we have never been to before. To make things more interesting we […]
Pan Seared Sea Bass with Red Miso Broth
Seafood
This week the cold weather and snow continued to keep me inside and away from the Big Green Egg. As a result I have spent a great deal of time in the kitchen focusing on the ingredients I had on hand. Yesterday I picked up a protein that would best compliment what was in my refrigerator […]
Weekend Trip: Louisville, KY
Food Exploration
Debbie and I headed to her hometown Louisville, KY this weekend to celebrate a wedding with her family. In addition, it was Debbie’s birthday this weekend and I wanted to take her out to some place special for dinner. When we travel I like to find a restaurant we have not eaten at before for us […]
