Living this adventure called life through food and travel with my friends and family. Mostly I write about food, but you may come across some subtle opinions on the way! https://www.facebook.com/memyselfandcuisine/
I think almost everyone has a food that takes them too a different place. When the flavor combination is so great, that it is transformative. Sometimes when I sit down for a meal, I get lost and suddenly in the experience until suddenly the meal is over. Sometimes food is just that good. Think about […]
About a week ago, I wrote a post about all of the different types of smokers. Smokers come in all different types, shapes, and sizes. You have offsets, box smokers, electric smokers, propane fueled smokers, kettle smokers, and the seemingly ever popular pellet smokers. These pellet smokers seem to have exploded on to the market […]
The other day I came across a post in a foodie group where someone was looking for advice on choosing a smoker because he wanted to start smoking meats. This was my chance to get my opinion out there, and it wasn’t completely unsolicited. Starting Out At first, I was smoking briskets and chicken in college […]
Meal kits. They’re everywhere. I watch a lot YouTube when I’m working and I think at least every other ad is for a meal kit delivery service. I know some people that use them and there’s nothing wrong with that. Meal kits do serve a purpose. Sometimes it is hard to make it to the […]
Sushi is a food that I never grow tired of, though that wasn’t always the case. The first time I had it, I hated it. Maybe that’s because it was in the Rocky Mountains, nowhere near a water source. You need water to have fresh fish and you need fresh fish to make good sushi. […]
It’s been a while since I shared about a cool cooking gadget. Actually, it’s been a long time since I shared anything besides the Weekly Favorites.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Now it is time to start looking forward to Thanksgiving! I know Thanksgiving is going to be weird this year, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still create some amazing recipes to enjoy with our small groups that will hopefully still be able to gather. Pumpkin is […]
Fajitas are one of my favorite things to cook. They can be incredibly versatile too. You can turn it in to a salad or even nachos. There are also a lot of options for how you make your fajitas, not just chicken or beef with some peppers. The classic fajitas are always going to be […]
Italian Food is one of those food genres that is hearty and versatile and covers a wide range of dishes. From fresh pastas to soups and then on to pizzas before heading over to seafood, Italian food covers it all. This might be an Americanized version of Italian food, but I’m going to let slide. […]
October sees the rise of soups and the arrival October fest, so sausage felt like a fitting feature for the Weekly Favorites this week. I like that this is a retirement community taking the time to make things a little extra fun for the residents. Plus, it’s Octoberfest. Beer and sausage. It doesn’t get much […]
