Crisp Pickled Green Beans

These pickled green beans turn out very crisp with a wonderful dill flavor, and the red pepper flakes provide a nice punch. This recipe is from my grandmother's cookbook that she passed on to all her grandchildren. It's much better than those that call for cooking the beans first.

Homemade Pickled Ginger (Gari)

Pickled ginger is called gari or amazu shoga in Japanese. It's served with sushi or sashimi and helps enhance the flavors and clear your taste buds. It's also great with Century Eggs, a Chinese delicacy. You can find prepared pickled ginger in pink or white at most Asian markets but I prefer to make my own and share with family and friends.

Sous Vide Duck Breast

How about a sous vide duck recipe made with a simple, almost foolproof, stovetop method that requires no special equipment? Too good to be true? Well, I'm happy to report it's so very true, and produced what my wife and I agreed was the best duck breast we've ever had.

Beer-Marinated Deer Jerky

Griswolds Turkey Jerky

It had been years since I watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation so when it came on the other night, I popped a bowl of popcorn and sat down to watch it. I had forgotten how funny the turkey scene was and it inspired me to create this turkey jerky recipe. Consume within 3 days or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 30 days.

Fasoulia (Breakfast Kidney Bean Dish)

Fasoulia is a traditional breakfast served in many Arabic countries. It can also be eaten for lunch or dinner in case you don't have any meat on hand, as the beans are full of protein and fiber. Very delicious! Serve and eat the traditional way, by grabbing it with pita bread.

Who-Hash

This easy dish was one we often had while camping as kids — my sister and I loved it. Many years later, I was challenged to come up with a dish to take to my sister's for Christmas brunch. I was inspired and made our camper's hash. To justify this humble dish's appearance at Christmas, I called it "Who-Hash," and a tradition was born. Now we make this Who-hash recipe every Christmas morning. The name of this dish came from a line in Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" where it is described that the Grinch stole everything in the Whos' house, even "their last can of Who-hash!"
