If you’ve made my Instant Pot Brisket, you already know this rub. It’s the reason that brisket tastes the way it does — sweet, smoky, with just enough heat to keep things interesting. I’ve been using this Kansas City-style BBQ dry rub for years and I put it on everything: brisket, ribs, chicken thighs, even…
Condiment Recipes
The small additions that make a big difference. A homemade Cajun seasoning, a balsamic glaze, a proper aioli — these are the flavor boosters worth keeping in your fridge or pantry. Quick to make, endlessly useful, and always better than the jarred version.
Homemade Honey White Balsamic Vinaigrette
When I have a really good salad dressing, I can’t get enough! It almost becomes an obsession…I seem to want it on every salad that I have for weeks on end. That was the reaction when I first started developing this amazing Honey White Balsamic Vinaigrette. Truth be told, it went through a few iterations…
Homemade Sesame Ginger Salad DressingA Great Asian-inspired Salad Dressing
This homemade Sesame Ginger salad dressing is the bomb! I absolutely love this Asian-style dressing. It all stems back to when I used to work at a restaurant called Stanley’s my first year in Los Angeles. It was a local’s joint just down the street the from where I used to live in Sherman Oaks….
Homemade Shallot Vinaigrette
Is it wrong that I consider myself a Salad Dressing Connoisseur? I know, it’s probably weird to be a self-proclaimed expert on Salad Dressing of all things. But, I don’t know if you’ve heard, my salad dressings are kinda a big deal. Haha! I’m totally kidding but, in all honesty, when people try them, I…

Homemade Croutons
A crouton is the type of thing that I think most people overlook. I did. Sure, croutons are supposed to add a little crunch to a salad, but in my experience, they’re usually a little stale or soggy, way too garlicky or just taste overly-processed. And so, I think people generally don’t think much about…
Easy Chocolate Ganache
I’m going to be completely honest with you — I’ve always thought ganache was one of those fancy pastry-chef things that required culinary school, a double boiler, and probably a French accent. Turns out? It’s two ingredients… well, four if you count the butter and a little secret weapon I sneak in there… one glass…
Homemade Cajun Seasoning
I’ll be honest — I kept Cajun seasoning that I got from Applebee’s when I worked there in a recycled gray plastic spice jar for longer than I care to admit. It was so good, and eventually that gray plastic spice jar was empty. Then, one day, I did a little research about what typically…
How to Make Hummus
I love easy recipes that taste great. Hummus is one of those. And it’s funny, think about it, when is the last time you thought to make hummus at home? What? Never? Hey, I totally get it…that was me! Hummus just seemed to be one of those items that’s easier to pick up at the…
Italian Chopped Salad
I love Italian Chopped Salads! There is something about them that is so substantial and satisfying. Just makes me happy!! Several years ago, a friend of mine and I would frequently head to this old school Italian joint, Antonio’s Pizzeria, in our neighborhood to get an Italian Chopped Salad. Actually, we would always order the Italian…
Homemade BBQ Sauce
No BBQ Sauce. No Problem! You can make your own. Here’s my dad’s basic BBQ Sauce that great on the Tiny Kitchen Big Taste BBQ Chicken Pizza or Tiny Kitchen Big Taste’s Indoor BBQ Chicken Grill. Wait, you say, Tiny Kitchen doesn’t have a BBQ Chicken recipe…hmmmm!?! Maybe there are great things to come. Hint: check…
4 Seasons Vegetable Dip
Nothing brings on a snoozefest quite like a vegetable tray…and with Memorial Day coming up, this is a holiday that deserves much, much better! Don’t get me wrong, I love vegetables, but when perusing the buffet table at a party, I will ALWAYS pass on those completely uninspired, individually compartmented trays of the good stuff. …
