Pear, Endive & Gorgonzola Salad

Growing up I was one of those kids that didn’t fade salads too much, if ever at all. Luckily I grew up outta that phase and learned that a good salad is the key to much more than staying regular and healthy. A properly put together Salad, creates the perfect balance when eating a meal, allowing the stomach to actually digest all that you are consuming at that moment.

Keeping things different and creative by knowing how to put a little twist on an old favorite allows you to spice up life and avoid falling into a boring routine. This Belgian Endive, Bosc Pear & Gorgonzola Salad is another one of those “must master” recipes that you will want to pull out on friends sometime at a party right before you serve your guests the Bone in Porter House Steaks & Grilled Lobster Tails.

Enjoy!

Classic Throwback Recipe: Chocolate Amaretto Brownies w/ Walnuts

The Chocolate Brownie. The ultimate dessert that almost needs no sidekick when being eaten. With a few key ingredients and a bit of time perfect brownies are as easy to make as tying your shoes (yeah I know some people cant tie a shoe to save their lives but that is a topic I'll address later.) 

These brownies use a bit of Amaretto and Walnuts to give the ultimate flavor and crunch to top off the Fudge / Cake-like consistency. 

These aren't those nasty brownies you find at the local convenience store, these right here are the kind that make people ask for seconds or thirds and fight over the last few scraps in the pan. 

Don't worry about the Amaretto overpowering the chocolate or leaving any kind of alcoholic taste it mellows out when the Brownies hit the oven.

Enjoy.
