Caramelized Garlic Aioli

January 29, 2019January 26, 2019 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

For our countdown to the Superbowl snack series, let's add something that isn't fried and is actually healthy for you. Notes:  If you are nervous about using raw eggs, coddle them by pouring boiling water over the eggs in their shell to lightly cook them for 1 minute. Then break the eggs and separate the … Continue reading Caramelized Garlic Aioli

Home Made Pizza Roll

January 28, 2019January 25, 2019 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

People like to send me all sorts of those YouTube recipe tutorials. Usually I find them pretty fun if a little simple or short on explaining technique. But anything that convinces people to cook is good in my opinion. After having watched a bunch of them, I'm starting to pick up on a bit of … Continue reading Home Made Pizza Roll

Super Bowl Ramp Up Series! Suburban Cheese Toasts

January 27, 2019January 25, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Since we just moved to Oregon, which we love by the way, don't have a sphere of friends that we know well enough to invite over for the Super Bowl. Ahhh...poor Kirkleys. Don't feel sorry for us. Actually this year will be a nice respite. Not to make Super Bowl foods for 25/50 people, nah...I … Continue reading Super Bowl Ramp Up Series! Suburban Cheese Toasts

Pok Pok Wings

When I was living in San Mateo California I was blessed to have a great downtown within walking distance where I could get all sorts of food. The area also had a lot of diversity so the food options where plentiful and delicious. Well, my favorite place was a tiny Chicago style diner that had … Continue reading Pok Pok Wings

The Search for Jojos

January 26, 2019January 26, 2019 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

When I first started writing for this blog, one of the foods I wanted to write about was loaded Jojos. They're sort of a Portland reinterpretation of the Canadian classic, Poutine. Except instead of the traditional french fries, big steak fries known as Jojos are the main ingredient. Unlike Poutine, which is topped with gravy … Continue reading The Search for Jojos

Forager’s Beef Stew

January 25, 2019January 25, 2019 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Lately, I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption 2. For those of you living under a rock, it's an amazing game that takes place in the Old West. One of the many activities you can participate in is hunting for food to feed your encampment. After doing so the camp cook will make … Continue reading Forager’s Beef Stew

Tito’s Burritos

January 24, 2019 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

In all of my writing about the various and wonderful places to eat here in Portland, I came to realize that I had never actually written about the place that I eat most often. Near PSU campus is a block full of various good places to grab a bite. One of these places is my … Continue reading Tito’s Burritos

Beef Totchos a la Laura

January 19, 2019January 17, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Totchos, so what are they anyway? They're Nachos but instead of tortilla chips you use tater tots.  Let's say you have leftover taco meat. By the way I only address hamburger in this recipe but you may use chicken, pulled pork, beans, or shrimp anything you're inspired by or have in the refrigerator.  Besides, chips … Continue reading Beef Totchos a la Laura
