Steakhouse Burger and Bacon Sauce

Steakhouse Burger and Bacon Sauce

This was the first time I’d made these burgers for Mike. His favorite burger is a bacon cheeseburger with A1 sauce from Five Guys. So, I delighted him with this burger that combines the A1 sauce into the patty. I call it the Steakhouse Burger and Bacon Sauce. You can […]

Jerk Chicken Meal Prep Bowl

Jerk Chicken (and Meal Prep Bowl)

I was first introduced to Jerk Chicken in 2017. We closed on our house in May 2017, and as anyone does right after they buy their first house, Crys went on a vacation to Jamaica with a girlfriend. I stayed behind to stain our kitchen cabinets and get the house […]
