Twice Baked Potatoes πŸ₯”

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 πŸ–

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…

HadBurger VII πŸ”

For HadBurger VII I was joined by my good friends Nick Haddow, Michael Muse, and Bruce Babbit – a Cobb Crew founding member. We enjoyed several good bottles of Shafer wine over the course of the evening as I prepped and cooked under a lovely sunset and evening Sky over Puget Sound. Key components for…

Grilled Corn Greek Salad 🌽

This super simple salad has become one of my favorites of this 2022 summer. It’s easy to make, packs some complex flavors together, and I think the charred corn with the reserve sherry vinegar add just enough “Je ne sais quoi” to really make this salad pop! Ingredients 6 ears of corn 2 English cucumbers…

Chicken Souvlaki Skewers with Tzatziki πŸ“

I have been making this dish all summer in an attempt to reduce my steak consumption. It is super easy to make, tastes fantastic with the tzatziki, and is relatively healthy. I like to pair it with my Grilled Corn Greek Salad – channeling my inner Zorba the Greek. My family and friends love it,…

Chicken Picatta πŸ—πŸ‹

Chicken Picatta is one of my family’s favorite dishes. My family loves it as it’s wonderfully delicious, combines great savory and briny flavors – rich artichoke hearts, capers, buttery chardonnay wine, fresh lemon, served with fine capellini, and meaty chicken breasts. I serve this dish heavy on a sauce laden with artichoke hearts and capers…

Pantry Lasagne πŸ₯«

It was mid-December and I was in the mood to cook something new and unconventional (for now) in the Hadland Household. I was performing some pantry review, looking at jars, spices, sauces, seasonings, oils, vinegars, and the like, and I noticed that I had several cans of tomato products, procured some time ago, well-intentioned to…

HadBurger VI πŸ”

Rhone’s Grandmother Barbara was wanting one of my famous HadBurgers since I first started making them. She and her husband, my favorite former Father-In-Law Dr. Jerry Sullivan were departing in a few days to Luxembourg to embark on a trip to facilitate dual citizenship for her and her descendants, including Rhone. Soon Rhone will also…

HadBurger V πŸ”

It’s summertime and grilling season (well for me it’s all year long) and we have company in town. Rhone’s friend Andrzej is up from California and I invited my good friend Glenn over for #hadburgers. Heirloom tomatoes are in season and they are by far one of my favorite foods. For HadBurgerV I used a…

HadBurger IV πŸ”

I had my good friend Chris Massot over for dinner who provided some lovely bottles of Continuum over in exchange for letting him store his wine with me. Lucky me! This is the formal version of HadBurgerIV.
