It may be no surprise to people that I got my love of food, or the kind of food in particular, from my family. My father likely had the most influence as I would definitely not be a chilihead if it weren't for him. I'm working on passing that passion on down to my own...

Ever since CD, it has been harder and harder to find food that does not have gluten. And not all GF products are of the same quality. So finding something to snack on is not as simple as just walking down the chip aisle. That said there are a ton of GF products out...

I came up with this one as a Relay for Life fundraiser in Beulah, ND. And it grew in infamy from there - I've done it a few times and most of everyone is salivating just at the mention of them. 8 oz. (250 g) cream cheese 8 oz. (225 g) pepper jack cheese 2 tbsp (30 g)...

I blame my father for my love of hot and spicy food. He served in Taiwan in the USAF during the Vietnamese War and learned to love both Asian and spicy cuisine. But like most GIs who came back with that craving, the closest they could get over here was Mexican - and...
