(Almost) Entirely Homemade German Meal

June 16, 2020June 13, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

One of the better positives to come out of the negative that is being locked down at home has turned out to be a lot of my friends trying out neat things like creating great foods at home. I myself tried making mustard at home to great success. Many others have gotten into making bread … Continue reading (Almost) Entirely Homemade German Meal

Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain

June 15, 2020June 13, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ 1 Comment

I've been trying to get out more in order to break the monotony of being stuck inside all day. This ended up almost getting me in big trouble, which I'll get into later. But I decided to take a hike along the coast, a hike I had taken many months ago. I drove an hour … Continue reading Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain

Roake’s Hot Dogs

June 9, 2020June 12, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

As you can probably guess from a few articles I've written, I have a special fondness for roadside stands that sell unhealthy American food. It's one of the reasons I miss the gym so much since I have to cut back on it a bit. As I mentioned when talking about Mike's I'm forever looking … Continue reading Roake’s Hot Dogs

Mediterranean Chicken

June 3, 2020June 2, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

This one has always been a favorite of my parents and me. It's a relatively simple meal once again utilizing the chicken breast technique that I've used a few times now. It's a great, quick, healthy meal that uses lots of veggies and creates a flavorful sauce. 2 Chicken Breasts 1 Onion, Sliced 1 Red … Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken

Purriosa Gave Me a Real Scare

June 2, 2020June 2, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Pet ownership is great most of the time: but, sometimes it can lead to some real hair raising moments. Like yesterday when I turned my back for a few minutes with the balcony door open and Purriosa somehow jumped off, fell two stories, and ended up goodness knows where. It was double worried since I … Continue reading Purriosa Gave Me a Real Scare

Chicken Marsala

May 31, 2020May 28, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

This is a classic recipe, one of many, I learned when in culinary school since it uses a lot of extremely basic, but important techniques in order to learn cooking. I decided to dust it off since I was craving a protein dish with a nice mushroom flavor and the acidity of wine. 2 Chicken … Continue reading Chicken Marsala

Fruit Smoothies

May 30, 2020May 28, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

One of my favorite things when I was growing up was a fruit smoothie. We would drive to one of the many malls in Massachusetts and get one from a local chain. We eventually learned how to make them ourselves. But the real beauty of them is the fact that you can alter the recipe … Continue reading Fruit Smoothies

Chicken Picatta

May 25, 2020May 24, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

When we lived in Santa Barbara there was a little Italian food place called Petrini's. It was like a little piece of the North end of Boston in California. It was a family dining style Italian food restaurant right down to the red an white checkered tablecloths and Chianti candles. I miss it dearly, and … Continue reading Chicken Picatta

Skillet Chicken Breasts

May 24, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ 1 Comment

I was looking into a few easy recipes that I could make small quantities of so I wouldn't have some many leftovers that just go bad in the fridge. Bachelor cooking has a few pitfalls after all. I found many great recipes that are working well. They all have one thing in common. They all … Continue reading Skillet Chicken Breasts

Spaghetti Bolognese

May 21, 2020May 20, 2020 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

My parents are great cooks. It's the main reason I became so interested in cooking. It also caused a lot of problems for me in school since I usually refused to eat any of the food cooked for me by the school cafeteria since I didn't like it. One of my dad's best meals that … Continue reading Spaghetti Bolognese
