Today’s recipe comes from overhearing a conversation at work between a few coworkers. After hearing the words buffalo chicken ring I had to find out the details of the conversation and obtain a recipe. What came next was something I found very exciting. I am happy to report my listening skills paid off with this little dish. Quick, easy and very tasty – this treat will make you popular at the next party you host or attend.

I’m just going to say it upfront, this is my favorite episode so far. I have made tacos countless times but never have they been as fresh, flavorful and delicious as what I created for this episode. The biggest factor playing into the flavor is without a doubt the fresh tortillas given to me by Nicole Misencik (@NicoleWTHR). As a fellow food lover (and great local meteorologist), Nicole was nice enough to bring back some fresh tortillas from her favorite Mexican restaurant in Phoenix. A huge thanks goes out to her for making this recipe possible.

I even get so excited at the end that I fail to recognize the difference between a lemon and a lime.

Between a full week out of town and what I now refer to as the Great Cold of 2010, my cooking was on hold for much of January. Thankfully, the fun can return and with it comes another casserole bake. This time around the recipe comes from a book given to me by my good friend Greg Sorvig (@gsorvig) – 365 Easy One-Dish Recipes. While I was tempted by the Sassy Sandwiches section, I settled on the Spaghetti Bake, etc.

I would also like to mention this weeks episode is sponsored by rickyleepotts of http://blog.rickyleepotts.com/ (@rickyleepotts) Be sure to check that out – my favorite section is food and beverage.

As my final taping for 2009 I decided to make a dish to bring over to my friend’s house to celebrate bringing in the new year. Looking through some of my viewer submitted recipes, I found one that I knew would fit the bill perfectly – Mexican lasagna. The preparation is easy and reheating is simple. Even better, the taste is amazing!

As my last recipe before the Christmas holiday, loaded potato skins are in the house. Perfect for a holiday party due to the easily scalable recipe, your guests are sure to enjoy this treat.

I cut the recipe in half since I was the only one eating these bad boys. Keep that in mind as the way the recipe is written will only make four potato halves.

I opened my fridge this morning only to find I had no eggs.  I wanted to get something in my belly to hold me over before a large lunch.  So, I decided to toss some random things together to make a quick meal.  Here is what I came up with.

In an effort to make at least one healthy dish, we take on some chicken tacos with a surprising result. In only about 15 to 20 minutes, we were rewarded with some very tasty tacos that look good and are good for you. This is definitely a recipe to give a try for those days when you don’t want a heavy meal but you want a tasty treat.

Just when you thought web shows were a generational thing – Clara Cannucciari comes along to prove you wrong.  Clara hosts a cooking show dedicated to depression era recipes complete with commentary of her sharing various experiences from her childhood.  You have to check out her content on her YouTube channel or check out her website for more information.  Way to go Clara for sharing her recipes and experiences to a very different generation.

In a more relaxed Cuisine Made Quick, Elisabeth and I decided to make some burgers on the grill during one of the many warm evenings we have had lately. There isn’t much to learn here but we had fun and thought we would share.

After much delay and a day outside of being part of National Pancake Week, Elisabeth and I finally got around to making some fresh blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes. Inspired by National Pancake Week, we thought now would be a good time to break away from the Bisquick and bust out the 1970s Joy of Cooking. To quote Elisabeth, “The results – magic.”
