Lately, I’ve been doing something that I haven’t done a whole lot of for a while: cooking for me. I say that because at some point along my blogging journey, I slipped into a pattern of cooking just for the blog. Not that the blog was the only reason I’d get to cooking, necessarily, but when it came to deciding what to make, I’d pretty much always opt to try out something new that I hoped to share (and something I thought you guys would love)....

I’m about to tell you something horrifying about me. Promise you won’t hate me? Pinky promise? Cross your heart and hope to die? This is serious stuff. OK, here goes… I don’t love chocolate. Oh! Oh oh oh, it feels so good to get that off my chest. Growing up, obsession with chocolate was considered a given for girls and women. My friends joked about what they’d do (or whom they’d murder) for a bar of the stuff, but me?...

For us, fall’s announcement is not subtle. It parades in with feather-topped hats and foghorns and twirling batons, it barrels past us with eye black visible behind its helmet, clutching the pigskin with an arm out to clear the way. It marches into formation on the field, spelling P! S! L!—wait, wrong, story. No, this is a love story. A love story to football and tailgating and the promise that comes tucked under the arm of the running back each time a season starts....

Garlic powder will not give the same flavor in this recipe but if that’s what you have you can use it....
I have been a beef burger purist for many years, but since giving sausage burgers a go, I think I may have converted. Follow me… Sausage Patties The beauty of using sausage meat is that it’s already beautifully seasoned. It’s also pretty high in fat, which is essential for a good burger patty. Why smash the patties? Besides it being very therapeutic, there is method to the madness. By smashing the patties you force direct contact with the pan, which is essential for building up a crust....
