I made this while camping. It was a break at camp when nobody was there, so I picked up some worms at the trading post and went off to fish down at the lake. I caught 12 bass with the help of my dad, who came down there after he played guitar at the trading post. It was 7:00 when I brought them all back to camp and thought to eat them since everyone already ate dinner while I was gone. So I fried them up in some crushed chips leftover from lunch. Yum, yum, yum.

Pecan Sour Cream Coffee Cake
For me, the best part about any coffee cake recipe is the crispy, crunchy, buttery crumb topping. In this recipe, I significantly increased the amount of crumb topping and hid a layer inside the cake!
Four-Cheese Truffled Macaroni and Cheese
Truffle mac and cheese is one of my favorite things to make when there's a chill in the air. It's great for cheese lovers, like myself, and works well at dinner parties. The leftovers are good too! Truffle oil is one of the best culinary purchases I've made. One little bottle has lasted me a year and can be used with so many things. Top this dish with a pinch of truffle salt if desired.
