November 5, 2015 by Jeff Portaro Leave a Comment

This is the only recipe you will ever need for a Shepherd’s Pie. No others will compare to the glory your tastebuds will endure. This is the only version I have ever attempted and will most likely be the only version I ever make.

If you’re looking for a simple, good dry rub for just about any cut of meat, then you’ve found it. This blend of spices will add a punch of flavor to a slow cooked rack of ribs or add a spicy layer of char crust to a perfectly grilled ribeye.

Mom’s Goulash

January 7, 2015 by Jeff Portaro 2 Comments

Mom’s Goulash Recipe…need I say more? Well, sure. Im not sure where my mom got this recipe from or if I even knew what Goulash was as a kid, but according to wikipedia; Goulash is “is a soup or stew of meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating from the medieval Kingdom of Hungary.”

One thing I know for sure is that Hungary is the last thing you’ll be after a bowl full of this with a side of corn bread.
