Kosher Dosher...“I am a culinary Heretic"

I've made this sauce several times now, and every-time I make the dang thing, it comes out different. I decided to finally write it down!!! For me, it's just a quick and dirty sauce that I throw together. This quick sauce is easily made with a well stock pantry. If you google Spaghetti Puttanesca , you will come away with many different recipes and opinions regarding the etymology of the word Puttanesca, and it's history through time.  Just to give you a little background on the name Puttanesca it literally means or relates to Prostitutes. This sauce has been referred to by many as "Whore or Prostitute Sauce." I'm sure there are numerous theories and ideas about the word Puttanesca, but you'll have to decide for yourself.  Some fun thoughts on the origins of the word by yours truly. Just my opinion, but what if the sauce was named Puttanesca because prostitutes gave out quickies and this sauce is quick and easy to make. Prostitutes are e...

Cereal and a Keto diet? Yea I know the two don't sound right together let alone in the same sentence but this easy recipe turned out great. While at Costco (over several weeks) I kept passing by these three items over and over again until one day I decided look them over. Wow the Fiber is so damn high the the net carbs are almost non existent. I wondered if I could create a low-carb friendly cereal with these babies.  Sometimes eggs and meat can get tiresome so this is a great alternative. Did I mention it's great for the colon too.  As it turns out you can make a very low carb cereal with these products. The digestive blend is where all the flavor comes from so don't leave this one out. You can also add other things to the blend to increase taste. Maybe a little cinnamon or a pumpkin spice. If you want to increase the carbs naturally add some berries.  Anyhow do the following.... choose a large container or use a one gallon baggy. Comb...

Even though I walk through the valley of a Low Carb diet, I will fear no fat and will find comfort in a Ketogenic diet. With that let's move on to the recipe that I created for my Keto diet. Hey it's not easy coming up with new and interesting ways to eat fat. It's not just about taste but texture too. We all have cravings and on a Keto diet you have to get creative.  I would estimate my optimum fat intake is 76% (actually exact) and consuming that much fat in one day can be challenging.  Anyhow I had a craving for something fried so I decided on something I always have on hand which is canned Tuna. To be more precise I always have Albacore Tuna on the shelf!!! Now as we well all know Avocado has a lot of healthy fat so I called on it to add to the recipe. I decided on Avocado because I few years ago I had the fried South-West egg rolls that had Avocado in them and they were outstanding.  This is not really an exact recipe and can b...

Gotta love Chili Mac. If you love Chili and you love Pasta you must combine the too. It's a masterpiece on a plate. Having a ravenous appetite too Chili mac at least for me satisfies on all fronts. A plethora of cheese and Pasta combined with meat is nirvana.  This one dish that has every food group combined into one. Let me explain....we have veggies, meat, dairy, alcohol, wheat, herbs and spices. What's not to love about this dish?    Anyhow I just made a huge batch of my "Chili Bombastical Sous-Vide Chapp-AZZ-Chili"  and I had to do something with it other than just eat out of the pan so I made Chili Mac. I made about 14 quarts of chili and when you make quantities that large you end up giving lots away and creating innovative recipes to go along with the Chili. I already had my fair share of Burritos Tacos, Nachos, Chili on a Burger, Dog and one of my favs is Indian fry bread topped with chili and an over easy egg. So why not Chili M...
