Right after the Superbowl, Mr. Big Flavors and I decided that our next kitchen purchase needed to be a pizza stone. We made three pizzas on three baking sheets for the Big Game, and the resulting crusts each had a different texture – too crunchy, too crispy, or too flat. Just too inconsistent, really. It was [...]
Mr. Big Flavors and I headed to Shea’s to see the one-and-only Anthony Bourdain on his Guts & Glory tour. I’ll be honest – I didn’t really know what to expect. Would he be eating or cooking? Or was this going to be a “No Reservations” highlights reel, with clips from various episodes? [...]
There is one member of the Big Flavors family that is just not discussed enough around here. She’s made an appearance on the Hot Dog Taste Test Championship and on the About the Big Flavors page, so you know she’s [...]
St. Patrick’s Day is always a celebration in this city. Not only is there a very strong Irish heritage and presence in Buffalo, but everyone and their brother is Irish on this weekend. In fact, the St. Patrick’s Day parade here is the 3rd largest in New York state. It stretches [...]
While I know eating healthy is important, I find it can sometimes be difficult to find good-for-you meals that have actual flavor and also keep you full for more than an hour. In the Big Flavors house, a healthy meal will always contain some type of protein. It’s hard to get Mr. Big Flavors to [...]
Tis the season for a big-ol’ hearty bowl of chili. But for some reason, I’m just not a huge fan of the traditional tomato-based, ground beef and big red kidney bean kind of chili. Maybe it’s because I’ve never found a beefy chili recipe that I’ve really enjoyed. Or maybe it’s because I still have [...]
Whether it be for snacking or an actual meal, I just can’t pass up using the crockpot on football Sundays. Crockpot cooking ensures tasty food and great results with very little work required. This means more time watching the pre-game festivities and less time in the kitchen. Everyone wins! Here are some of my favorite [...]
I can’t even begin to explain my love for peanut butter toast crunch cereal. It’s not even a stretch to tell you it was one of the happiest days EVER, when I saw that PBTC was back on shelves (yes, us Peanut Butter Toast Crunch fanatics are allowed to abbreviate for easier discussion). [...]
Here’s my shot at a step towards being a bit more healthy with snacking. It can’t be all cheese-filled snacks and processed foods all of the time, I guess. (Though, I sure wouldn’t mind always having a big batch of chicken wing dip on hand, just in case.) I was looking around [...]
Mr. Big Flavors says that these Rolo Surprise cookies are his very favorite. I’d like to believe that, but that man is a certified cookie monster. I’m pretty sure all of the cookies he’s ever eaten have been near favorites. Either way, it’s kind of a tradition that I make them every year for his birthday. It also [...]
