Pan-Fried Chicken
How to make pan-fried chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) with a simple dredge: quick, easy, everyday cooking without the drudgery
Buttermilk Ice Cream
Two buttermilk ice creams: Vanilla Bean Lemon Curd, and Chocolate with Chocolate Malt Pieces. Churned, yes, but come on … a robot does the churning! Super-creamy, custardy recipes that seem too good to be homemade. Rich and delicious.
Cheddar Meatballs
Baked cheddar meatballs made with beef, pork, onion, and garlic: a recipe for a delicious bit of everyday cooking
Coffee-Crusted Pork Roast
...with orange-cardamom jus, accompanied by caramelized Brussels sprouts and braised red cabbage. Check out our recipe.
Day-Old-Doughnut Coffee Cake
Transform leftover doughnuts and box of cake mix into an intoxicating coffee cake. (There's also a chocolate version!)
Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies: Pop-Tarts, Perfected
The sour-cream-and-butter dough for these homemade Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies is somewhere in between pie crust and pastry. A touch of glaze makes them perfectly sweet. They’re sort of like Pop-Tarts, except we left out the thiamine mononitrate, the palm oil (with TBHQ for freshness!), the dextrose, the high fructose corn syrup … you get the picture.
Homemade Hard Salami Pull-Apart Rolls
These homemade Hard Salami Pull-Apart Rolls are made from an easy-ish, yeast-risen bread dough. They're full of Parmesan cheese and garlic. Pair them up with a bowl of chili, or use them to make some killer sliders.
Liège Waffles
Liège waffles are a style of Belgian waffles that are made from a yeast-risen dough and feature pearl sugar.

Mini Pork Pies … Wow!

"Pumpkin Spice Waffles," from Make It Like a Man!

Pumpkin Spice Waffles

September 16, 2019March 31, 2022 Jeff the Chef

Maybe one day “autumn” will be known as “pumpkin spice season.” Maybe one day “pumpkin spice waffles” will be known simply as “waffles.” Bring it on.

"Vibrant Strawberry Jam," from Make It Like a Man!

Strawberry Jam: vibrant, almost tantalizing

Vibrant Strawberry Jam has the sharpness of lemon, but the flavor of strawberry.

Brats in the Toaster Oven

August 26, 2019February 9, 2025 Jeff the Chef

Brats in the Toaster Oven – by which I mean bratwurst. The toaster oven is a great alternative to the oven, which is in turn a great alternative to the grill.

"Big Tasty," from Make It Like a Man!

The Big Tasty: Not So Tasty

August 19, 2019August 19, 2019 Jeff the Chef

The Big Tasty is not so tasty. I had one at the new McDonald’s headquarters, in Chicago’s West Loop.
