One skill that I believe every man should have is cooking. Gone are the days when the women are expected to prepare meals and know how to cook. Gone are the days where men can be too proud and not enter a kitchen to prepare a meal. In our current time, cooking is a skill that must be mastered, by both men and women, but I'll be honest...if a man can cook, women really like that.


On my page I'm going to share some of my favorite recipes. I've gotten recipes from all over; websites, cook books, family recipes, or even a few from my days working in the Service Deli at Costco when things were actually made, and not just "put-together," from scratch.


So I hope you enjoy some of the things that I share. I'll try to link recipes if I get them from somewhere online, or provide any personal recipes to the best of my abilities. So check back every so often for some new things. Or, if you have something that you'd like me to try out, send it to me, and I'll give it a try along with a review.

A part of our body that shrinks when we eat junk food?

So I was on FB today and a good friend of mine posts a article on how eating junk food can actually shrink a part of our body. I know, I was thinking the same thing as you are right now...this can't be real. Well, it is real. Unfortunately, we aren't shrinking anything we actually would like to shrink...like our waist lines, no, that would be just too convenient. No it turns out that our brains are actually shrinking. For this this explained a whole lot.


This can lead to all kinds of discussions, such as how the poor are the ones that primarily the ones that eat junk food. That it could be a conspiracy to keep poor uneducated people in the same social economic status that they are in. Yes we could go on and on about what the implications of all this could be, but hey, I'll let you read the story for yourself.

Honey Baked Chicken

This is something I've been trying for years to get from a good friend of mine, his famous Honey Baked Chicken. I always thought it was something that was hard to make, but it turns out, not so much.
Men, this is an easy recipe that you can make that will really impress the ladies (or fellas, whatever floats your boat).


What you need
  • 2 lbs of Chicken Thighs or cut up fryer
  • 1 stick of butter
  • ¼ cup prepared mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon of Indian Curry
Combine the butter, mustard, Salt, honey and curry in a saucepan. Cook on low heat until are ingredients are combined into a creamy sauce. Arrange chicken in a baking dish and pour sauce covering all the chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour and a half. Serve with mash potatoes and steamed carrots. Use juice and drippings from chicken to pour over your potatoes and carrots.
