The stuffing muffins are by far my favorite holiday dish to make. I love my stuffing recipe. It’s my favorite thing to eat – in part due to all the herbs I add, but the freshly dried sourdough, savory sauteed onions and celery, Jimmy Dean sausage, Green Hatch Chilies, chanterelle and morel mushrooms sauteed in…

The Hadland Thanksgiving Meal 🦃
The holidays are my favorite time of the year. I love spending time with my family and friends, especially cooking for them, entertaining, drinking wine, teaching my sons how to cook, and having friends stay over and help with prep. I vacillate on my favorite – Thanksgiving or Christmas. I cook the same meal for…
Twice Baked Potatoes 🥔
Twice Baked Potatoes My twice-baked potatoes are one of my guilty food pleasures in life. I probably gain about 5 pounds consuming this meal. My recipe has evolved over the years and now includes cheese, bacon, morel and chanterelle mushrooms, onions, chives, and sour cream. These are also amazing as leftovers. Ingredients 12 large russet…
The Hadland Christmas Meal 🍖
The holidays are my favorite time to plan and prepare meals for my family. I especially love Christmas as I love my bone-in prime rib roast. I should prepare this more often as it’s a simple, amazingly satisfying dish. I am inspired by my Grandmother, Elizabeth Wisher, who always put on a wonderful dinner during…
Whole Filet Mignon 🥩
The whole filet or chateaubriand as I knew it growing up was the fancy dish served at high-end hotel restaurants or country clubs, not that I frequented either very much. With French origins (but of course), the Larousse Gastronomique indicates that the dish chateaubriand was created by the namesake’s personal chef, Montmireil, for the Vicomte, François-René de Chateaubriand, at that time…
HadBurger II 🍔

He suggested that we cook at his house, and I offered to make him something from the CookCookEatEat catalog. He had heard about the #hadburger for some time and suggested that we…
Mother’s Day 2021 Beef Wellington 🥩
My mom informed me that I would be making her my Beef Wellington dish for Mother’s Day. This took the guesswork from what to prepare 🙂 I am blessed to have my Mom, glad that we are close, and she spends a lot of time with my sons and me, and fortunate that she likes…
Porcini Dusted Lamb Chops
I made porcini dusted lamp chop lollipops this past Easter inspired by the Capital Grill’s bar menu and a recipe borrowed and riffed upon from my good friend and former server and bartender of said establishment in Seattle, T’Shovie Smith. These treats were often consumed at the bar by hand, proving a wonderful snack that…
Beef Wellington
What is so special about Beef Wellington? It has an amazing flaky, buttery texture that can make any dish better. For the Beef Wellington, the pastry is the most important part of the dish. The whole point of sealing the beef tightly in the pastry is to make sure that the juices are sealed in. I have had…
